Two islands named Silumpat Island and TImbun Mata Island, found nearby a small town known as Tawau, in the state of Sabah, Malaysia, are where 0.3% of the world’s rarest pearls are cultivated, commercially known as “Edward Kong South Sea Pearls”. These islands used to be uninhabited. The islands’ supreme waters made them natural habitats for farming top grade South Sea pearls. South Sea pearls are pearls produced by mollusc belonged to a type of large oyster known scientifically as Pinctada Maxima, or colloquially known as the golden-lipped oyster.

Therefore all pearls harvested were exported to major pearls consumption countries like Japan, Australia, Europe and USA. Mr. Edward Kong inherited the business from his late father in 1994. After seven years of gruelling self-initiated and self-funded research and development efforts, the current pearl farming has reached a success rate of 75 – 80%, making Mr. Edward Kong one of the top ten South Sea pearls suppliers in the world.
