The release of the Malaysian Bigfoot Enigma Publication is the cumulative effort of many of my API team mates and our friends over the Causeway, to whom I am tremendously indebted to.
This Report also showcase the 1st release of the A'X'IAN Files, a term coined by me (pronounced as Asian Files) to represent the Asia's version of the famous 'X' Files series.
Currently API Cases can be seen over Singtel's 3G channels and previews can be seen at the website of it's X-Files producer, JT Koh.
When the December news broke that there was a Bigfoot sighted in Johor, the report ran practically around the globe and to which 1 organization known as The Bigfoot Field Researchers Organisation has dedicated a page to its updates.
The Asia Paranormal Investigators (API) is a paranormal research based group based in Singapore that strives to systematically analyze any strange occurrences happening in Singapore and around the region.
API is a relatively new organization founded in July 2005 and is staffed by local people and foreign counterparts both young and old. We are constantly seeking new opportunities to learn from our overseas counterparts when possible.
The purpose of writing this Report was to stem the increasingly erroneous media reports surfacing as a result of lack of information available (see Section 8), and especially to create a clearer understanding for our overseas friends who may be reading it without knowing the geographical and cultural aspect of the case.
This is API 1st attempt in writing such a publication (if it can be called one) and I am sure my written English would surely be appalling to some. I do apologize and I welcome any feedback or comments in
For the avid readers you may use the Content Page to browse through sections by sections, or just read downwards.
For those who wishes a quick summary you may go straight to Section 9, which will summarized all the findings in all the other sections.
If you would like follow our Bigfoot Discovery Trail where we went into Johor, then go to Section 7, where you can also view the beautiful landscape of Malaysia.
Clicking on most photos will bring you to a new window. Clicking on certain links will bring you to a bookmark placed in this report. After reading the bookmark, simply click BACK on your explorer browser to go back to the previous page you were reading.
LATEST! Exclusive video interview with Along, with interesting revelation. There are now TWO SEPARATE ENCOUNTERS in Kahang, NOT ONE. The reality of Bigfoot's identity is also reinforced. Details coming soon as soon as translation of Interview is completed. .
This has been 1 interesting journey, on the paper research, map reading, interviews with the locals that eventually enable us to arrive at the conclusion that the Bigfoot in Johor has been erroneously reported as many different encounters when it stemmed from just 1. The sightings in Mawai (of the 3 fish farm workers and the sightings in Kahang (of 3 Orang Asli that include Amir and Along on their way into the forests) are the same. We also conclude that the Bigfoot most probably is a specie of Ape known Orang Utan that manage to survive in Peninsular Malaysia for ten thousand years despite being thought as surviving only as the 2 known species that belonged to the Sumatra and Borneo island, there could be a 3rd. This could be supported by recent sightings as well as historical records of such encounters by the early settlers on Mawai.
Granted not all may agree with the findings in this Report, but then again the purpose of any report is the critical analysis of the event it is reporting on. Thus we welcome any feedback or comments in
If not, then stroll downwards and begin the API Bigfoot Discovery Trail.
I hope that you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.
