Local Security
Guard’s Tales
Life as a security guard could be a numbing boring and thankless tedious
job but they have to encounter many strange and spooky things in their work.
Life tough as a security guard is tough especially in a field dominated
by foreigner nationalities. Pak Idrus has retired from working at a Government
department and to make ends meet with a wife and 5 children, has taken a job as
a security guard for a local security company.

Pak
Idrus was working at the night shift as a private security guard at a local manufacturing
company. Part of his job requirements was to manually use a clock-in system at
designated spot around the manufacturing plant. When one late night Idrus was
walking the rounds with the clock-in system the plant he heard a whisper.
He
looked around at the dimly lit surrounding in the warehouse section but there
was no one round. Shaking his head thinking it was just his imagination, he
walked to another section of the plant where he felt a sudden chill at the same
time someone was blowing air into his ear. The next thing he remembered he
again heard a whisper “Ooi” and he quickly looked around wondering if someone
was playing pranks on him. There was absolutely no one around! He said some
prayers and scooted from that place.
There
was even a scarier incident at that plant about a year back. The entire perimeter
of the plant was bordered by a small paved road and Idrus was making his
rounds. The light posts which were well lighted and situated in the end of the narrow
road and faced the plant. It had just rained and it was cold and it was windy
as Idrus walked along on the narrow road.
