History Erased

In the year 1910, Jerejak was made a health quarantine centre for immigrants planning to go to the main island. After passing the health check, they were sent to Penang to work. Later in the late 1930’s, the British Empire built a hospital for patients with Tuberculosis that could house 150 patients at one time. This was located at the eastern part of the island.

Jerejak saw military action during the World War II, when a German submarine attacked a Russian naval vessel. It is believed that Jerejak was the site for a German submarine base from June 1943 to March 1944.

The Jerejak Rehabilitation Centre began operating from 12 June 1969 to August 1993 with its batch of inmates. This first batch consisted of those detained during the 13th May 1969 race riots.

In it’s one and only internal riot incident in 1981, The Jerejak Rehabilitation Centre was rampaged when about 100 inmates rioted in the prison, destroying several buildings. The riot was caused by dissatisfaction over decision to lengthen the service period of inmates.

this book belonged to my grandaunt. It’s an ancient history book from 1899. Cool, isn’t it? It’s got 111 years old.
