Malaysia Scientists to Hunt ‘Bigfoot’ in Rainforest
January 27, 2006
KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia plans to send two teams of scientists to scour its southern rainforests and track down a huge ape said to have been spotted there, a government official said on Friday.
“Bigfoot” fever has dominated Malaysian newspaper headlines for several weeks now, with several dramatic sightings of a hairy, gorilla-like creature reported in the thick forest in the southern state of Johor.
One local man said he saw a 10-foot (three meter) tall ape standing on two legs beside a river, according to one report.
“Yes, the state government has decided to send teams of scientists to try and track it,” said a state official who declined to be named. But he gave no further details.
The country is home to the orang-utan, a large red-haired ape that can grow the size of a small man, but they are not found in peninsular Malaysia — although monkeys and gibbons are common.
National news agency Bernama has said the Johor state government intends to set up two expedition teams, one to explore the forests and a second to try and study the animal itself.
“We hope the expedition will be able to prove its existence,” the agency quoted Chief Minister Abdul Ghani Othman as saying.
Bigfoot sightings across the world have featured mysterious and reclusive animals such as the north American sasquatch or the Himalayan yeti, whose existence has never been proved, but the Malaysian sightings are worth investigating, an environmentalist said.
“The national park is as big as Singapore island,” said Vicent Chow, who works in the area and has often lobbied the state government to investigate past sightings. “It’s quite possible there is something there.”
The Endau-Rompin national park, where the sightings were reported, sprawls over an area of about 49,000 hectares.
“Natives who live in the jungle have seen it for generations and their legends call it the ‘snaggle-toothed ghost’,” said Chow. “Now we need forays by scientists to find it.”

National Geographic American Paranormal – Bigfoot
This documentary contains an excellent explanation on the Patterson-Gimlin footage of Bigfoot dubbed Patty. It goes through scientific methods to prove the image on the film is authentic. Please watch and be convinced finally. I’ve always believed the footage was genuine. Mr. Gimlin in all the interviews I’ve watched seemed very genuine and suffered tremendously as a result of the footage.

This is a real awesome documentary on bigfoot. One of the best – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cp5eV9nIEjk&feature=youtu.be
In 1967, Bob Gimlin and Roger Patterson stumbled across an incredible sight whilst out in Bluff Creek, in the California wilderness. At a creek which had been freshly washed-out by recent floods, they witnessed a female Bigfoot swiftly traverse the rugged landscape. Since their filmed encounter with the Bigfoot, who has since been nicknamed Patty, many have disputed the authenticity of their recording but no one has been able to successfully prove that it is a fake.
Credits for this video goes to entirely to windvale for the original footage. ?
Any article related to Bigfoot is interesting. Recent years there are a number of sighting in Malaysia. So far there have not proven anything yet. Malaysian newspaper headlines years back with the sighting of a hairy, gorilla-like creature in the thick forest in the southern state of Johor. That was some time back the government did dispatched two teams to explore down the gorlla like creatures. Could it a Bigfoot or orang utan no body know. They scoured and tracked the area said to have been spotted . Nothing proven at all. Big foot do exist but maybe not here in Malaysia as claimed. Bigfoot sightings across the world mainly in North American or in Himalayan whose existence has never been proved.
Thank you Rinpoche for sharing.
Could there be bigfoot in Iran and South America too?

Bigfoot in Malaysia? This is very interesting!
I googled and found that people has been talking about many incidences of sighting bigfoot since years ago. There is also a video on Bigfoot in Malaysia too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hlu2nGKvdz4
Recently in May 2014, there is a report that on suspects there is bigfoot as there are hundreds of strange, large footprints all over a tarred road near the Endau Rompin forest reserve in Johor Baru.
I believe bigfoot does exist but just that we may not able to see it. However, even if this is true, i’m sure the authority will deny it to avoid causing panic around the people, just like in other countries. 🙁
