Johor's Bermuda Triangle
Siti Nurbaiyah Nadzmi

MERSING, Jan 30:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kuala Mersing fishermen may be as full of tall tales as any of their brethren around the world, but mention the waters around mysterious Pulau Sri Buat and they lapse into fearful whispers.

Here, there are stories of sea spirits, sudden storms, colleagues who never came back, and an uninhabited island nobody wants to set foot on.

This 10-nautical mile stretch around Pulau Sri Buat, Kuala Mersing and Kuala Endau has been dubbed the "Bermuda Triangle of Johor".

Pulau Sri Buat (below) has no freshwater but has a well-tended mango orchard, coconut trees planted in symmetrical rows, and a mysterious graveyard.





Othman Jusoh has a stock of hair-raising stories of paranormal phenomena which have taken many to a watery grave over the decades.

"I have fished off the west coast of the peninsula, Singapore and the Indian Ocean, but this area is the most difficult," said the 78-year-old, who began fishing at 14.

Known as "Pak Itam" in the fishing community here, Othman said there had been instances of thick fog suddenly appearing.

Huge waves also appear without warning to sink boats, while storms break out in absolutely calm weather.

"The most susceptible to these phenomena are outsiders, tourists and seasonal anglers who often become victims of the sea," he said.

He claimed there were also "sea spirits" in the shape of an island, a wave, and sometimes the light of a ship.

"If a seaman is not careful, he may steer off route and lose his way," he said.

Othman felt the eerie atmosphere could in part be attributed to the bloody history of the place, which used to see battles between pirates.

"In the early 1900s, the stretch between Kuala Endau, Kuala Mersing and Pulau Sri Buat was a busy waterway for merchant vessels from as far as Siam to trade rice, salt and other commodities in Singapore.





LOCATION: The 10-nautical mile stretch around Pulau Sri Buat, Kuala Mersing and Kuala Endau has been dubbed the "Bermuda Triangle of Johor".
