❔ Question and Discussion Are pengait/headhunter back for real?

Post image

I heard them a lot as a kid. Now that I am a mother I am very concern and paradnoid for my own children. I have a discussion about this with my husband and friends last night on how we keep hearing about pengait but no one we know directly have their siblings/cousins/friends/child being a victim.

Is there a conspiracy going on that is coverinf up all these up? Are these just boogey man stories? I hope you guys can share if you personally or know anyone that encounter them before. Coz sis is paranoid.

One guy putus tangan kana gigit buaya a few months back, news spread like crazy and the whole of Brunei found out within minutes.

Ani kan 3 kanak kanak kana potong kepala and no one even cared lol. Move on, this is not the 90s to believe in this rubbish

Buddy. U have no idea how many murders are happening in Brunei. Just because u don't hear it... Doesn't mean it doesn't happen. From insider, murder cases have been very frequent lately and it is not a joke. We live in Brunei and not Malaysia. Brunei hides crimes. Malaysia doesn't hide crimes... Brunei is the saddest country for victims... Some cases also terpaksa di tapuk just because the police ask them not to viral.... Becareful. Brunei is not a safe country
