Bigfoot Captured in Cambodia in 2003? Exhibited Soon?

Safuan Abu Bakar says we all will be seeing a captured Johor-like Hominid soon. What is this all about? Have we vanished down the rabbit’s hole finally and found ourselves in a twilight zone we did not know about existed in Malaysia?

If a toyol is bothering you, or your neighbourhood is being terrorised by a jin, who do you call? No, not the ghostbusters but the P-Team.

THEY are a team like no other and their members are made up of religious teachers and healers from Malaysia and neighbouring countries.

They are the paranormal team, but unlike the A-Team or the SWAT team, their job is rather unique.

Believe it or not, they deal with beings and happenings not many would want to encounter, in the seen and unseen world.

According to ustaz Safuan Abu Bakar, the team has captured beings ranging from mermaids, toyols and jins to the legendary Bigfoot that is making a name for itself in Johor.

Safuan said the P-Team had tracked down and captured a Bigfoot about six-foot tall in Cambodia three years ago.

"We will be bringing it down for an exhibition here as soon as we have enough money to make the transport arrangements," promised Safuan, 48.

"The team members come from Malaysia and neighbouring countries like Indonesia and Cambodia and we go wherever we are needed."

While most people would brush off these beings as mere myths, Safuan said he has encountered enough of these beings to know they are real.

"There are lions and horses on land, so there are also sea lions and horses. Mermaids are like women who live in the sea."

How did the P-Team manage to capture a mermaid? Safuan said they tracked it down in a neighbouring country using mandram (magic) and yellow rice to draw it to the surface.

"Everyone knows of mermaids but most of the time, these creatures are portrayed as beautiful young women. But we have yet to see one that fits this description."

Safuan said the mermaid on display at the exhibition looks the same as it did when it was captured.

"An Australian wanted to buy it for RM300,000, but we cannot sell something as rare and special as this."

Safuan said the paranormal team was formed in 1993 and its latest mission was to capture a jin two months ago.

"During our missions, many of us have had bizarre and unexplainable experiences. But we pray and meditate before embarking on our missions and so far, none of us has been harmed.

Safuan said the most common supernatural being the team has encountered is the toyol.

"Recently, a village was terrorised by a toyol and we assisted them in capturing the creature.

"The funny thing is when a toyol steals from a person’s wallet, it would not take all the money, unlike a human who would steal everything."

Safuan said all the exhibits were real and he welcomed any scientist or interested party to conduct experiments to prove they were not genuine.

"We have X-rays and DNA results to support our claims. Besides, some exhibits till today still emit the same smell as they did when we captured them.

"There are beings in the seen and unseen world. For those who don’t believe … it’s up to them."

AMONG the top draw at the "Genies, Ghosts and Coffins" exhibition is the ikan duyung (mermaid) which was captured off the coast of a neighbouring country several years ago.

The creature has the head and upper body of a woman and the tail of a fish, and it is believed to be two to three years old.

Another draw is the langsuir, which is said to be the flying vampire of Malaysia and can be only captured by those with strong spiritual powers.

It is said that a woman becomes such a creature if she dies in childbirth, or from the shock of hearing that her child is stillborn.

The Nyi Belorong or Nyai Blorong is represented as a beautiful female with the lower part of the body of a snake. The creature seduces the weak, especially men craving for riches.

The jenglot is said to have existed before the dawn of man and has the same DNA and bone structure as humans. The creature is said to exist in China, Peru, Chile and Indonesia.

Other exhibits include the toyol, which was caught trying to steal money from a man’s wallet, and a jin, which has the ability to transform into various forms.

CURIOSITY and a fascination for the supernatural world is attracting thousands to the "Genies, Ghosts and Coffins" exhibition at the Sultan Alam Shah Museum in Shah Alam.

Most of the visitors said they heard of the exhibition from friends and were curious to know what a toyol and jin looked like.

"My friend, who visited the exhibition, told me it was scary, so I decided to see it for myself," said Razman Mohd Amin, 32, who was at the exhibition with his friends.

Australians Michael and Susan Mitchell said they were visiting several spots in Shah Alam and chanced upon the exhibition.

"It’s really cool. We have never seen anything like this before," said Michael.

In Australia, he said the only supernatural beings talked about are vampires and werewolves.

"We were told that various kinds of supernatural beings existed in Asian countries. It is really fascinating to actually see them."
