There is a place called Kg Cocos at Pulau Dayang Bunting in Langkawi, besides the Kg Cocos at Pulau Balambangan north of Kudat, Sabah and Pulau Cocos, south of Johor, Peninsular Malaysia. A trader from Cocos Islands must have landed in these places or had some association with these places.
I had gathered from history that the Cocos Islander is somehow related to the Johor family, besides Brunei, Philippines, Indonesia, Kalimantan. Langkawi was formerly under the British administration of Sir Francis Light and of course Balambangan Island was the first British settlement in North Borneo where the Union Jack was first hoisted but had to shift because of pirates attacks on the island.
