Legendary PONTIANAK Video Recorded by Malaysian Police Officer

A Malaysian police officer claims to have recorded a legendary Pontianak, the ghost of a pregnant woman who died during childbirth, while on duty and patrolling Johor Baru. 

"My intention is just to share my experience and warn people out there not to be too afraid or impatient," said the aid police officer, known by Ikhmal.

Ikhmal, 29, attracted attention on TikTok recently after sharing a video of the Pontianak's involvement and the terrifying sounds of the creature.

The video sharing earned more than 3.6 million views with some netizens believing it but others doubting it. Sharing the true story, Ikhmal said, the video of the Pontianak incident is valid and he recorded himself using a phone.

According to Ikhmal, he "accidentally" collided with the creature when he was making rounds with his colleagues.

"The incident occurred around 2 in the morning and coincidentally, my friend and I were making patrols around the area concerned.

"When we made the patrol, we heard a sound and it looked like someone had entered the bush area.

"Considering that this is a prohibited area that should not be violated, we who boarded the patrol's multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) continued to rush to the area to make patrols and inspections.

"How surprised we would be if we saw a Pontianak in the area, but I managed to get a phone call and record a video of the sighting," he said when contacted by Harian Metro.

Ikhmal said the video was later uploaded on TikTok to be kept as a memory besides sharing the experience he went through while on duty.

In a short period of time, the video received attention and gained a lot of views and spread on social media.

"There are those who believe and share their spooky experiences in the comments section. However, there are also those who say I tried to cheat and upload the related video for content purposes (simply shared content).


"It's up to the viewers to believe it or vice versa because it's each person's right and why cheat because I myself went through it," he said.

According to Ikhmal, he has been looking for sustenance as an aid policy for eight years and he has had many experiences during that period, including some that were scary.

However, Ikhmal admits that it was the first time he saw Pontianak in front of his own eyes the other day.

"The sound of disturbance is common, especially when on duty at night and early in the morning. In fact, old people have also told their experiences of encountering this creature.

"After all, the area was originally an oil palm field which was later built but they (old people) only saw it but didn't record it.

"It's also my luck if you are moved to record what you see at that time and luckily you are surprised, you don't get a fever after seeing it.

"I want to say believe (in the unseen world), yes, because in the Koran it is also mentioned, it's just that I want to work to make money, so I don't want to be too afraid to see we are all God's creatures and share life in this world," he said.

Ikhmal hoped that his partnership would be taken from a positive angle because it was not his intention to frighten anyone.

"Hopefully what is shared doesn't discourage anyone, especially younger siblings who are interested in getting involved in this field (safety).

"Let's just say that it's commonplace and one of the challenges in our duties because over time we will get used to it," he said. - I recorded the Pontianak myself
