Please note that those photos taken by Harold Stephens were NOT illustrated in his book, long before the Big Foot equals Big Bucks era came on.

Based on his account in the book and that of others,we have been on the lookout whenever we went hunting in the Kota Tinggi area [Please refer to my earlier posting on the 12 June "malaysian update " no. 8 comment]

Nevermind the hoaxes, like the ufo ones, it should not suspend our search for something that is definitely there.

Only sad part is that the world is full of arm chair hunters too willing to take pot shots at things they only dream about. I hope Loren Coleman and Kirk and Co. will allow this inoffensive comment be printed.

The mawas exists. I know because I have been hunting in those parts, long enough to know.

kscryptoholic,

Thanks for those tid-bits. Gives those of us interested a little more fodder for the old search engines.

(I’d read some of that stuff over on Wikipedia, but hadn’t heard the tsunami story until now)

I, too, am interested to read about the so-called negritos. They apparently are the original inhabitants of most of southeast Asia, before the Malays, Khmers, and Thai peoples invaded some 2 or 3 thousand years ago. The negritos in the Johor rainforest would be a great source of info on the alleged hominids there. They have lived there for untold thousands of years with these bigfoots and in harmony with them at that. Other negrito people live in the nearby Andaman islands and in the Phillipines, too. They are an interesting folk, very attuned with nature, as the ones on the Andaman islands proved when they heeded nature’s warnings and moved to high ground when the Dec. 2004 tsunami hit. While others were unfortunately drowned by the tsunami, they survived the disaster.

Chow and Ang’s elusive photos are one thing. The possibility of an unknown hominoid inhabiting Malaysia’s forests is quite another.

You know I hope there is something to all of this. I just am having doubts about the photos that Chow and Ang or whoever are basing all this on.

I would be interested in seeing some documentation for the statement that the Malay jungle is “the oldest jungle on this planet”… how could anybody say it was older than, say, the Amazon jungle?

It kills me how the run of us think that everything has been seen — and then you hear in the news about yet another 2-million-hectare swatch of primary tropical forest that not even the locals enter.

Even the good old USA is a lot more wild and woolly than the vast majority of us give it credit for. Anyone who knows what he’s seeing from the interstates, let alone a jet plane, could tell you that.

The Johor brouhaha is getting a bit funny now. But I just say let’s be patient, OK?

did he say the footprints were taken in Johor? If so, then we have two different creatures we are looking for. Notice the print next to his foot, 5 toes looking like ours. Remember the photo of the 2 girls and 1 guy casting a print? That one there was a toe off to one side. In fact I remember that because I commented that the toe was pointing to the girl on the left of the picture. We may be looking at something big here, if chow and ang ever decide to really do something. I love how at the top here Mr. Stevens said that chow barely got his shoes dirty? Why is he even there then?
