The Malaysian Bigfoot Enigma
In November 2005 the three Orang Asli including Along and Amir went as usual into the jungles to do their work. Later they were joined by a fourth person. Amir hunted fish for a living, while Along collected rattans to sell. It was about 10am when they arrived and they have not started work yet. It was then they saw this Bigfoot creature, whom he named as Hantu Hutan. They saw this creature standing about 15 metres away, with his back against a tree. It was performing an action akin to rubbing its back on the tree bark, as if its back was itchy, or it was just bright morning and it was stretching itself for a breath of fresh air. They looked, stood still for a moment and ran off. (We were to learn later that though Alan mentioned that Along and Amir went into the jungle, both Along and Amir actually went in at different times. This is paret of the Orang Asli culture, which we were to learn very soon.)
Alan described the Bigfoot as about 3 metres all, with a human face but hairy all over with bright golden hair. It stood upright and had jaranq teeth features like canine teeth. Alan said that the encounter with the Bigfoot was just one encounter in which they were all together. When asked to identify the Bigfoot, Alan pointed to the picture of the hand drawn Bigfoot on the cover of my album, which had many pictures of primates put together for easy identification. Alan was not sure if the Bigfoot was a male or female. Though they only saw one, he believed that it could not be the only one and there must be some other nearby. He describe the color of the Bigfoot body hair as red golden and pointed to API Agent Huili hair as an example. Alan said the body was as hairy as an king kong (Alan said this while pointing to a Orang Utan which was standing upright), except that its face was like a human. Alan also describe the Bigfoot as having a huge chest, stretching out both his hands to demonstrate the immense size. It was also very tall but did not have long hands like king kong. He said that the four of them took one look at the Bigfoot and ran. They did not see the back of the creature, just the front. He said he did not see any footprints due to dry weather and hard ground conditions. He repeated again that Amir was his brother-in-law while Along was his son-in-law. It was then that he said that he was not the actual one who saw Bigfoot, but that he was with the group that brought the State Officials to the place of encounter.
There is a very detailed and informative report on the Malaysian Bigfoot at the following site. Found it to be quite interesting and figured readers would aswell.
