Pangkor Island lies within the state of Perak, around 85 kilometres from Ipoh and about a 3-hour drive from Kuala Lumpur. It is a mountainous island which has the highest point of 1216 metres of Pangkor Hill. There are approximately 30,000 people live on the island and in Pangkor Town as well as the villages surrounding it. According to history, the British name for the Pangkor Island group was the Dindings and this island was a shelter for local fishermen, merchants and pirates. In 2006, a biotechnology centre, a joint venture of Global Hi-Q Malaysia S/B and Hi-Q Bio-Tech International (Taiwan) Ltd began operations with initial investments of RM 100 million (USD 30 m) for the development of this island.
