BANGLO FARAH AT BUKIT TUNKU - THE STORY

Banglo Farah, Bukit Tunku is KL's most famous abandoned bungalow story.

It's in Bukit Tunku (formerly Kenny Hills), the old colonial "Beverly Hills of KL" area. The house itself is a roofless, moss-covered colonial bungalow that has been empty for decades. Nobody lives there, but paranormal teams go non-stop.

Here is the legend as it's told:

The core story — Farah

"The story of Banglo Farah revolves around someone known as Farah who was allegedly brutally murdered by her own aunt. There are claims that her head has still not been found to this day and is supposedly buried somewhere around the bungalow. Farah became the victim of a ritual ceremony by her aunt for a certain purpose."

The detailed version from urban explorers:

• Farah was a teenage girl living with her aunt in that bungalow.
• Her aunt was said to be a practitioner of black magic — ilmu hitam. The most common version names the ilmu as Ilmu Rawa Rontek (sometimes spelt Rawarontek) — a Javanese occult science believed to make the owner immortal, where even if beheaded, the body can reattach if it touches the ground.
• The ritual: The aunt used Farah as a test subject. Story goes:

"The story of a teenage girl named Farah whose head was cut off by her aunt, who was said to practise black magic. It is believed that Farah's aunt used Farah as an experiment to strengthen her knowledge, which is Ilmu Rawa Rontek, which is said to be able to reattach severed body parts. The ritual failed. Farah died."

"It is said that Farah's head was cut off and her body was found in the middle of the house. Her head (which was never found) is believed to be buried in the kitchen."

Other versions say the head was buried somewhere in the kitchen floor or in the compound, and until today hasn't been found. That's why the current explorers keep going — recent titles like "Nek puteh bongkar lokasi tulang yang di tanam | Episode Akhir Banglo Farah" claim to reveal where the bones are buried.

Extra layers that got addedSome explorers claim the bungalow was once the residence of Malaysia's first Prime Minister — “rumah ini juga dikatakan pernah menjadi kediaman YAB Perdana Menteri yang pertama. Wallahua'lam.” — there is no record of it, but it adds prestige to the horror.

Another viral version from 2026: "This residence once witnessed a dark incident... A girl's head was once beheaded by her own aunt, who is believed to be a practitioner of black magic. The current condition of this bungalow is becoming more eerie..."

Paranormal YouTubers report white pontianak figures running past windows, black apparitions (lembaga hitam), and children's voices in the house.

Is it true?

Like the Kia Optima, there's no police report or court case under the name Farah that matches this. DBKL has no murder record tied to that specific lot. It's considered an urban legend that grew from:

A real abandoned colonial bungalow in Bukit Tunku that was left to rot (many were after the 80s property crash). 

The Javanese Rawa Rontek myth that was very popular in Malay horror forums in the 2000s. The spooky look of the house itself — roofless, overgrown, perfect for content.

But for ghost hunters, it's a top 4 hotspot in Malaysia alongside Highland Towers, Crag Hotel, and Banglo Molly — which is why you will still see TikTok LIVE titles like "BANGLO FARAH BUKIT TUNKU!!!" every weekend.

MYSTERY: KIA OPTIMA AT JALAN BENTONG LAMA

This is one of the most famous Karak Highway ghost stories — the Kereta Misteri Kia Optima.

Here’s what actually got reported and why it became legend around Bentong:

The discovery

• Where: KM 35.4 Lebuhraya Karak, near the Genting Sempah tunnel heading towards KL. The car is believed to have fallen from Jalan Bentong Lama, Batu 18 — about 100 metres down into the ravine/mud below the highway.
• How found: Tow truck driver Wong Kam Wai, 31, found it at about 3pm while he was recovering another car — a Satria Neo that had skidded at the same KM 35.4 spot.
• The car: A silver/grey Kia Optima, worth more than RM100,000 at the time. Keys were still inside, engine off.

Why it became a mystery

Police checked it, and it made no sense:

Ketua Polis Daerah Gombak, Asisten Komisioner Abdul Rahim Abdullah, said, "Kalau berlaku kemalangan, mesti pembahagi jalan sudah remuk seperti dilanggar. Jika ada jenayah mesti ada mangsa di sekitarnya."

Translation: 

• No crash marks — the road divider / guardrail on top of Jalan Bentong Lama, Batu 18 showed no damage, with no sign of a car breaking through.
• No victims — no bodies in or around the car, despite the 100m drop.
• No crime scene either.

Police at the time ruled out accident and crime elements — “polis menolak wujudnya unsur jenayah atau kemalangan yang boleh dikaitkan dengan penemuan kereta itu".

The part that made it legendary

When they tried to pull it out, the tow failed in a weird way:

“Apabila di pertengahan, dua buah kembalik yang mengangkatnya tiba-tiba mengalami masalah mekanikal dan kerosakan pada sistem hidrolik. Ketika itu, kereta ini hanya beberapa meter sebelum sampai di tepi tembok lebuhraya.”

Both cranes suffered hydraulic failure mid-lift. The second crane was brought in — same failure. Finally, they had to leave it:

“Akhirnya, kereta misteri ini terpaksa disemadikan semula di bawah jambatan tersebut.”

Locals say it is still "buried" down there.

Connection to the other Karak legend

That Bentong/Karak area already has the famous DJ radio call story — the caller who said:

“Mak saya mati, anak saya mati, isteri saya mati, dan saya pun mati..."

The story goes a grey Kia Optima was found under the bridge at Jalan Bentong Lama Batu 18, fell 100 m, had no crash marks on top, had no bodies inside, had keys still inside, and tow efforts failed, so it was left buried.

Because that story circulated around the same time as the THR/ERA late-night horror segment, people merged the two—the unexplainable Kia became proof of the call.

So today when people in Malaysia say "Misteri Kia Optima Bentong", they mean that silver Optima that fell without a trace of how, had no driver, and could not be lifted — classic Karak Highway lore, listed alongside the Yellow VW Beetle and the bus tickets that turn into leaves.

You drive through that stretch often? That KM 35-40 Bentong Lama to Genting Sempah is the hotspot for all 8 of those stories.

FROM KOTA KINABALU TO KIMANIS AND KENINGAU: 138 KM THROUGH THE CLOUDS OF CROCKER RANGE.

This is the most famous horror road in Sabah — every Sabahan driver has a story about it.

Jalan Kimanis-Keningau Highway is 61 km, connecting Kimanis (West Coast) to Keningau (Interior). It was an old logging road, opened as a highway in 2006, and it goes up to 1,371m through Crocker Range National Park.

About 138 km from Kota Kinabalu to Keningau via Kimanis-Papar road. The Kimanis-Keningau Highway itself is only 53 km but cuts straight through Crocker Range National Park - it's Malaysia's highest highway, steep, misty and full of hairpin bends. 

It is known as the steepest highway in Malaysia — gradient 10% to 25%, with thick fog, 6.5 km of fog-zone yellow lines, emergency ramps, and almost no street lights on the old route.

Wikipedia

Because of that, 3 different horror layers exist there:

1. The Gravity Hill / Bukit Magnet at KM44

The most famous mystery. At KM44 Jalan Kimanis-Keningau, if you turn off your engine and put your car in neutral, your car will slowly move uphill by itself. Even a water bottle or tin can will roll uphill.

In the old days, people thought this area was ‘keras’ and mystical because of a penunggu. Some called it Bukit Magnet.

A UMS geologist, Dr Felix Tongkul, later explained it is an optical illusion — a reverse gravity hill. The area that looks higher (1048 m) is actually 2 metres lower than the valley area (1050 m). Your eyes see it as uphill, but it's actually downhill, so the car rolls.

But old folks say it's not science; it's the spirits of the Crocker Range pulling you. Whether it's an optical illusion or not, no one dares to test it alone after midnight. 

Locals still don't drive there at night. The road without a ghost story feels incomplete. If you drive Kimanis-Keningau at night, you don't just fight the fog and the steep bends. You drive through stories. 

2. The Real Horror — Accidents

This road is genuinely deadly. Lorries overheat, brakes fail, and cars fall into ravines. KM40, KM42, KM44, and KM45 are black spots where fatal crashes happen almost every year — trailers overturning, 5 family members dead in one car, and lorries crashing due to brake failure.

The fog at Batu 16 is so thick you can't see a deep pothole until you hit it.

That's why many old drivers say the accidents are not just because of the steep road but because they were disturbed.

3. The Ghost Stories Drivers Tell

These are the stories you hear at Oyong Restaurant or Dimie Mountain Resort stops:

a) The Woman with the Bakul

A lone Dusun woman carrying a rattan basket (bakul) standing in the middle of the road at 2 am in the fog. When you stop, she disappears. Some say she is a victim of an old landslide.

b) The Hitchhiker at KM42

Drivers pick up a woman in white near Kimanis who asks to go to Keningau. She is quiet in the back seat. When you reach Keningau roundabout and look back — seat empty, but wet footprints.

c) The Old Logging Road

The old road (before the new highway) is darker — trees cover it even in daylight. Truck drivers say their lorry water-cooling tanks boil for no reason, and they hear someone pushing their lorry from behind on the steep climb.

d) The White Lady of the Fog

The summit near the Dimmie Resort, always thick with fog. Lorry drivers who do the Kota Kinabalu-Keningau run talk about a woman in white standing by the emergency ramp. She looks like she's asking for help, then disappears in the side mirror. Some say she's linked to the many fatal accidents on this highway. In the Sabah version, she's a Pontianak-beautiful from far, terrifying up close. 

e). The Hantu Tinggi in Crocker Forest.

Before the highway was sealed, the whole range was deep forest. Locals near old houses like Kinarut Mansion believed in Hantu Tinggi – a ghost that disguises itself as a tall tree in the forest. On the Kimanis side, hunters still say if you hear someone calling your name in the jungle but see no one, don't answer. 

That is why people say, 'If you drive Kimanis-Keningau at night, don't stop at KM44, don't pick up anyone, and if your car feels like it's being pulled uphill by itself—just press the accelerator and don't look back.'

However, we travelled from Kota Kinabalu to Kimanis-Keningau. We drove in daylight, so I only got beautiful clouds and good photos at Sook and Keningau. But my Keningau friend, who travelled with us, laughed and said, "You should try at 2.00 a.m. abang, then you'll meet the real owner of the road."

Ref: UtusanTV: Misteri Jalan Keningau - Kimanis

The Dimmie Pendalaman Resort, the famous pit stop at Mile 8, Crocker Range National Park, is about halfway between Papar and Keningau. It's one of the only 3 official stops on the steepest highway in Malaysia. A must-stop for all lorries to cool their brakes and refill water-cooling tanks. 

KENINGAU, SABAH

The interior Division of Sabah, between Tambunan and Tenom. Our Yayasan Jantung Malaysia Health Screening was held at Sek. Keb. Sook, Keningau, in 2015. 

Ref: 2015: Keningau, Sabah. 

The main community hall in Keningau. It was named after Tan Sri Joseph Kurup, the founding president of PBRS, long-time MP of Pensiangan and former Deputy Chief Minister of Sabah. He passed away in April 2024. 

About 40-50 km south from Keningau town, one of the biggest primary schools in the interior division. 

The Keningau roundabout monument, with the sirung (traditional Dusun hat) and spears - a symbol of the interior Dusun culture. Anyone who visits Keningau will take a selfie here. This is the heart of town. 

The winding roads and steep gradients tested our driving skills, but the breathtaking views made it worthwhile. As we navigated through the misty Crocker Range, we could feel the weight of the stories that lingered in the air. Each hairpin bend seemed to whisper tales of the past, reminding us of the road's notorious reputation.

We encountered thick fog that rolled in unexpectedly, reducing visibility to mere meters. It was a stark reminder of the dangers that lurked on this highway. Despite the challenges, we pressed on, fuelled by a mix of adrenaline and curiosity about the legends that surrounded this infamous route.

As we approached the various landmarks, we couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. The Gravity Hill at KM44 was particularly intriguing, and we shared a laugh about the optical illusion that had captivated so many before us. The stories of the ghostly figures and tragic accidents added an eerie charm to our journey, making it an unforgettable experience.

By the time we reached Keningau, we were exhausted but exhilarated. The trip was more than just a drive; it was a journey through history, mystery, and the stunning landscapes of Sabah.

JAMBATAN TAMPARULI - THE LEGEND OF SULONGKOI

Tamparuli, a small town in the heart of Sabah, Malaysia, in the Tuaran district, is known for its rich cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty. Nestled amidst lush greenery and rolling hills, this charming town offers a unique blend of traditional and modern influences.

Visitors to Tamparuli can explore its vibrant local markets, where fresh produce and handmade crafts are abundant. The town is also famous for its iconic Tamparuli Bridge, a picturesque spot that attracts both locals and tourists alike.

For those seeking adventure, the surrounding areas provide opportunities for hiking, exploring waterfalls, and experiencing the diverse wildlife of Borneo. The warm hospitality of the locals adds to the town's appeal, making it a perfect destination for a relaxing getaway or an immersive cultural experience.

Whether you're wandering through its quaint streets or enjoying the breathtaking views, Tamparuli promises a memorable journey filled with discovery and charm.

It is famous for the Tamparuli Suspension Bridge, a popular tourist attraction and even more iconic after the creation of the "Tamparuli Bridge Song" by Justin Lusah in the 70s. 

The Legend of Solungkoi

This story began around the 1930s - 1950s, when the British wanted to build a new bridge to connect the North and West Coast of Sabah.

The engineer in charge was named Robinson. The problem was, no matter how many times they built it, the bridge kept collapsing, swallowed by the current of the Tuaran River.

The village shaman, an old woman called Odu-odu, was called in. She said the bridge was built on a sacred site, and its guardian — a water spirit called Tombuakar / Tonduakar / Ombuakar — was angry.

The spirit demanded a human sacrifice — a beautiful maiden — to be buried alive under the bridge's foundation as compensation.

This is where the love triangle comes in.

At that time, Robinson had fallen in love with a very beautiful Dusun girl named Solungkoi. Their love story was well-known in the local community.

But there was a local young man named Intang who was also obsessed with Solungkoi. When his love was rejected, Intang wanted revenge. He was the one who manipulated Odu-odu and Robinson to choose Solungkoi as the sacrifice, because there was no other girl more beautiful at that time.

The Betrayal

Robinson was torn — between his career and his lover. In the end, he chose to sacrifice Solungkoi.

One night, during a tapai (rice wine) drinking feast, Solungkoi was made drunk and taken to the bridge unconscious.

When she woke up, her hands and feet were already tied, about to be lowered down to the bridge's piling to be buried alive.

Before she was buried, Solungkoi managed to scream her curse:

"THE TAMPARULI BRIDGE WILL NEVER BE STRONG AS LONG AS ROBINSON'S LIFE AND BLOOD ARE NOT ALSO IN THIS BRIDGE!"

The Mysteries That Remain Until Today

The bridge became strong. After the sacrifice, the British iron bridge built in 1933 has remained intact until today, even after countless major floods.

Solungkoi's name plate. Regretting his actions, Robinson is said to have carved Solungkoi's name on an iron plate and attached it to the piling where she was buried. Divers who have dived under the Tamparuli River bridge claim the plate can still be seen today, but its exact location is kept secret for safety reasons.

Robinson's suicide. Out of remorse, Robinson eventually killed himself by letting himself be drowned by Tombuakar — only then was Solungkoi's curse lifted.

Locals also make a distinction: the Tamparuli Hanging Bridge (the wooden, shaky one for pedestrians and a tourist icon) is NOT the same as the Tamparuli Iron Bridge where the Solungkoi sacrifice happened. Many people think they are the same.

That's why there is the famous Sabah song "Jambatan doh Tamparuli" composed by Justin Lusah in the 70s — a song about a girl in high heels crossing the shaky bridge. Behind the cheerful melody lies the tragic story of Solungkoi.

Until today, locals still believe Solungkoi's spirit is the guardian of the bridge, and her whispers can be heard whenever there is a tragedy or accident in the area.

Why does Singapore still retain Malay as its National Language, and why is Singapore’s national anthem also in Malay?

Singapore retains Malay (Bahasa Melayu) as its national language, and its national anthem, Majulah Singapura, is sung exclusively in Malay to honour the country's indigenous heritage, acknowledge its geographical context in the Malay Archipelago, and promote multiethnic unity. 

Even though Chinese Singaporeans make up the demographic majority and English is the primary language of business and education, Malay holds a unique, constitutionally protected status. 

The structural reasons for this policy are outlined below:

Why Malay Is the National Language

Why the National Anthem is in Malay

Factor	Description
Indigenous Recognition	The Constitution of Singapore explicitly recognises Malays as the indigenous people of the Island. Retaining Malay as the national language is a symbolic commitment to protect their heritage and culture.
Geographical & Regional Realities	Singapore is located in the heart of the Malay world, bordered by Malay-majority nations like Malaysia and Indonesia. Embracing Malay at Independence in 1965 reassured its neighbours of Singapore's integration into Southeast Asia.
Racial Neutrality & Inclusivity	Selecting the language of the majority Chinese population (Mandarin) could have caused domestic friction among minority groups and regional anxiety. Malay served as an ethnically neutral choice for nation-building.

The national anthem, "Majulah Singapura" (Onwards Singapore), was composed in 1958 by Zubir Said as an official theme song for the City Council. 

When Singapore attained self-government in 1959, Deputy Prime Minister Dr Toh Chin Chye led the search for a state anthem. He insisted that the anthem be brief and written in Malay because: 

• Universal Appeal: A Malay version was seen as an indigenous expression that would appeal to all races, serving as a cultural bridge rather than favouring the immigrant majority. 
• Historical Integration: At the time, Singapore was planning for political merger with the Federation of Malaya (which occurred from 1963 to 1965), making a Malay anthem highly practical and politically unifying.

Contemporary Usage and Legal Protection

The national anthem is strictly governed by the National Symbols Act 2022. By law, it must be sung using the original Malay lyrics to preserve its historical meaning and respect. 

While official translations exist in English, Mandarin, and Tamil for comprehension, the actual singing of the anthem—along with military parade commands—remains entirely in Malay. 

On the online forum Quora, users widely agree that keeping the anthem and national language in Malay avoids alienating minority ethnic groups, maintains regional harmony, and anchors Singapore to its pre-colonial roots. 

The Biography of Zubir Said (1907–1987)

Zubir bin Said, affectionately known as "Pak Zubir" or "Mr Mari Kita", was a legendary self-taught composer who wrote Singapore’s national anthem, Majulah Singapura. 

Life Stage / Attribute	Details
Early Life & Rebellion	Born on July 22, 1907, in Bukittinggi, West Sumatra. His mother died when he was seven. His village-chieftain father strongly opposed music, viewing it as haram (forbidden). Defying his family, a young Zubir taught himself to play a homemade bamboo flute, guitar, and drums.
Migration to Singapore	In 1928, at age 21, he fled to Singapore on a cargo vessel. He was lured by a friend's promise of a land with "glittering lights, coffee with milk, and butter" and a desire to escape cultural restraints.
Golden Age Film Career	He started as a violinist for a bangsawan (Malay opera) troupe before becoming a recording supervisor for His Master's Voice (HMV). From the late 1940s to 1964, he worked as a head composer and arranger for Shaw Brothers and Cathay-Keris Film Productions, scoring music during the "Golden Age of Malay Cinema".
Prolific Output	Despite never having a formal education in Western music notations, he composed over 1,500 songs, prioritising authentic Malay roots over imported Western rhythms.
Major Compositions	Beyond the national anthem, he composed Semoga Bahagia (May You Achieve Happiness), which remains Singapore's official Children's Day song.
Accolades & Legacy	He was awarded the Public Service Star (Bintang Bakti Masyarakat) in 1963. He passed away from liver failure on November 16, 1987, at age 80. Today, the street 1 Zubir Said Drive (home to the School of the Arts) is named after him.

Why Military Commands Are Still Given in Malay

Fact / Reason	Explanation
The Constitutional Mandate	As established by the Constitution, Malay is the sole national language of Singapore. Using it for state machinery—including the military—is a direct reflection of its symbolic supreme status over the other three official languages (English, Mandarin, and Tamil).
Historical Lineage	Singapore’s early defence units, such as the Singapore Volunteer Corps (SVC), operated under British Malaya commands. Furthermore, during Singapore's brief merger with Malaysia (1963–1965), military protocols were heavily standardised in Malay. Keeping the commands post-independence provided institutional continuity.
Operational Uniformity	In a highly multiracial conscript army (National Service), having a single, unified language for drills ensures absolute clarity. Shouting commands in multiple languages during a crisis would create chaos. Using Malay places all recruits, regardless of ethnic background, on a completely neutral and equal playing field.
Operational Privacy	While less critical today, historically, using a distinct set of localised commands separated Singapore's operational drills from generic British standard English commands, giving the young military a distinct national identity.

If you attend a military parade or witness training within the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF), Singapore Police Force (SPF), or Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF), you will hear shouting like "Sedia!" (Attention!) or "Cepat Jalan!" (Forward March!). 

The retention of Malay for all official foot drill and military commands is driven by several operational and historical factors:

While formal commands on the parade square are strictly issued in Malay, the everyday language of instruction, tactical planning, and general military communication in the SAF is conducted in English.

PAHANG DALAM CATATAN DUNIA 1,577 TAHUN LALU

Sebuah catatan Cina yang berjudul Sejarah Selatan (Nánshǐ 南史) merekodkan enam tarikh diplomatik antara Pahang dan Cina antara 449 hingga 466 Masihi. Nánshǐ (南史) merupakan sebuah karya sejarah Cina yang mencatat sejarah empat dinasti selatan.
