A Dark Isolated Road to Gua Musang

A Dark Isolated Road to Gua Musang

I have written in my blog about the little town of Gua Musang, about a “Tourist Guide in Gua Musang, Kelantan”. However a reader has also encountered a spine chilling experience about his car trip to Gua Musang.

Gua Musang is a small town and is sometimes called a railway town. I am also told that Gua Musang stands for “foxes cave“.

Haira lives with his sister, Ziana, and brother-in-law in Kota Bahru which is the capital city of Kelantan. Kota Bahru is approximately 110 km from the Gua Musang, where they are from originally. There was some celebration and the three of them was rushing and driving back to Gua Musang at night after work.

It was dark by the time they reached Gua Musang road when Hairi, who was seated at the back, was half dozing.  “Alomak!..” yelled Hairi’s brother-in-law as Hairi saw the motorbike way in front of them swerve and almost lost control of his motorbike. The biker then simply sped away at very high speed.

Jamil and Arof decided to love their kites at Pantai Bahru at the beach and fishing village in Kelantan but they encountered an eerie and scary incident.

Pantai Bahru is located approximately 10 km from the state capital of Kota Bahru in Kelantan. It was the place that in 1941 the invasion of the Japanese army during the 2^nd World War which eventually led to the surrender and downfall of Malaya and Singapore (if my history don’t fail me ... way before my time-lah).

Getting to my story, Jamil and Arof intended to go on that weekend to fly their kites (translation – laying-layang or wau) at that beach after driving from their house in Kota Bahru. By the time they were through with the kite flying it was already dark past 7pm and they gathered their stuff to go home.

As they sat feeling the breeze blowing from the beach packing up their stuff, Jamil saw that a group of men were busy on the beach which was about 200 meters away. Arof who was chatting happily with Jamil also looked at the same scene at the beach. They could not see clearly due to the fading light, but the people were dressed in some kind of uniform. At the same time, they were puzzled that they could not hear any sound caused by the commotion of the people. Except for the sound from the breeze and the swishing sound of the waves there was absolutely no sound– like in an old fashioned silent movie!
