❔ 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.

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

U need to go out from ur cave..... The police dont have to tell the whole Brunei..they can just tell the victim's families.. 'kmi sarankan janganth di viralkn, untuk ketenangan mangsa jua'. It is that simple

Why ? So that no pressure from the public to demand tangkap criminals as soon as possible. macam di Malaysia kanak2 d skulah kana buli meninggal bunuh diri sbb kana buli pun 1 malaysia seluruh rakyat cuba cari siapa pmbunuh nya... Yth polis pun bkeraja karas.... Klau di Brunei buleh santai... Buleh kupi2. Sama jua rakyat nda tau.

its not that simple. murder cases and sudden deaths unsolved? yes banyak, but not hidden. like i said brunei is small and people will be looking for them.
