I just checked and you're right! The man in the photo at 1:49 is Charles Sobhraj. Thank you so much for correcting me🙏 His photo keeps appearing along with Mona Fandey's for some reason🤔 I apologize for the mistake!!🙏🙏🙏🙏💜💜
Mona’s infamous last words were “Aku takkan mati” which roughly means “I will never die” and when you think about it, it’s true in a way since she’s still being talked about even to this day
@@norman6499 heh.. not even 1%? There is one movie about her alone and that movie was a hit. Maybe some young generation does not know her. But surely, people still know her as that film was released on April 2018.
I still remember, when I was a kid, that my mom would use her name to scare me out of staying late playing outside. And let me tell you, it worked ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ
Mona's picture was found at the crime scene but the police hadn't figured her identity out initially, hence the newspapers posted it as a "mystery woman". It gave me the creep by just looking at that picture of her.
Have heard some story that Mona’s son life is not easy. Once, his engagement was cancelled once the family of the bride find out that the man is related to Mona by blood. His son should never have to receive such punishment bcoz of his parents wrongdoing. Let’s that remind us to do good deed wherever & wherever we are, bcoz we never know when the society will repay us through our son & daughter.
It is because some malays believe the bad spirits/being would usually be passed on to the next of kin. So if there is only one son, he would the one unless the spirit choose another distant relative. Some would ask one of the next of kin to take over before his/her death especially if it is a skill to heal, massage or midwifery
Mona seems to have been a combination of psychopathic and narcissistic . Her grinning in court and acting as if she were attending a party in her own honour , adds to the eeriness of the case .
The 90s was one of the most depressing time in Malaysia even before the 1998 financial crisis. There's just some 'unsettling feels' of this era, like an omen about what to come after for Asia. Thanks for covering this case. Detailed but easy to understand.
In 1993 when this case happened, a more tragic incident occurred in Malaysia which was the Highland Towers collapse just outside KL. It was and still the most deadly building collapse in Malaysian history with 48 people killed. One of the dead was former Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Musa Hitam's eldest son and his wife. I was 8 years old that time and I remember there was almost 24 hours TV live coverage of that incident. Later I talked to one of the rescuers involved in search and rescue effort, he said he found the son's body with eyes wide open. Quite a chilling moment that was.

Since Megan covered the case of Setiabudi 13 in an earlier video, I think Megan should cover the case of Wirjo, a farmer from Banyuwangi who murdered 20 people. Or the case of Ryan Jombang. I'm pretty sure my fellow Indonesians are aware of these 2 cases
1. Ryan Jombang case is the most popular case in 2000s, many Australia news reporters come to Indonesia to record it. 2. Dukun AS or Achmad Suradji Shaman case who kill 42 womens and drank their saliva. Its popular case at 1990s. 3. Robot Gedek case, who kills many kids, sodomize, and drank their blood.
@@meowiguess903 Wirjo is about a farmer named Wirjo who murdered 20 people in one night. It's thought to be for supernatural purposes because Wirjo have a ridiculous amount of appetite and before doing the mass killing, fast for around 40 days
This is the most bizarre case I have come across so far, especially because the perpetrators were astoundingly unapologetic. Like smiling and acting like that is just way beyond comprehension. Anywho, thank you so much for this, Megan and team. You made the end of tmy workweek great!
Thank you for this story Megan. Another controversial case in Malaysia is Cosmetic Founder that have been kill brutally with her driver, lawyer and bank associate.

Oh wow, you did great research. The cultural aspects like the datuk title were spot on. I remember this case as I kept asking my dad about 'the spooky dark magic' as I grew up in the US and my dad was speechless.
There are two dark story that are famous in Malaysia nationwide in the 90s. One is Mona Fendi and the other is the purdah serial killers. That purdah story was so scary that it went viral to place by word of mouth alone. Later on when I at the age of high-school, I went to boarding school that have people all around Malaysia. It was pretty shock to me that Purdah story isn't famous at my circle but it was known all over Malaysia.

Oooo... Hello from Malaysia :D I know some people who claimed to have "visited" her abandoned house before. They said that they felt something eerie in there and when they came out, some of them had high fever... It could be that there may be "something" in there or it's just unsanitary hence the fever. Aaaanyways, love your work and content.
I was 9 when this happened. I was obsessed for a while with this case. Still gives me the chills now. Btw, just some info, the first pic of the mansion that you used, that's not Mona Fandey's house. That's the infamous haunted SG House in Bukit Gasing and has a different story. The 2nd mansion pic also not Mona's house, it's an abandoned mansion, called "Banglo Kayangan", in Seksyen 12, Shah Alam. None of those are in Raub, Pahang.
The way you covered this was 10/10, Megan! In Malaysia, there is still a great deal of interest surrounding black magic. I'm from East Malaysia and we share borders with Indonesia.

Hi Megan! Thanks so much for reading our comments and finally covering this infamous case in Malaysia. We still do talk about her to this day; this goes to show how much the dreadful case has affected the whole country
This has got to be the best covered version of this tragic moment in Malaysian history. Thanks for covering it. Also, I’m very surprised, most of your pronunciations are nearly as accurate. And actually more so than most others who had covered the same news story.
This case happened at my hometown Pahang, Malaysia. I remember when I was kid, my classmates show me a black and white pic which she took from her father. Her father was one of the inspector incharge. The pic show every part of body that the police found. She then tell us about the murder case. That's where I know the story of this case since I don't really read newspaper that time. After so long I still remember things I saw in the pic 😐
I just discovered your channel the other day and have been binge watching like mad. I'm a true crime buff, but I really only know western cases. All your videos have been a treat, I love your professional and solemn delivery, too many people relay true crimes with a sort of a sensationalist almost jokey way. May the souls of the victims in all the cases you've shown us, rest in peace.
I also recently found her channel and have been binge watching. I'm a huge true crime nerd and am surprised it took me so long to find her. She deserves so many more subscribers.

Omg ever since Megan said she was going to cover stories from around SEA my secret wish was for her to cover any cases from my country (and this is the exact one I had in mind). Thank you for this Megan~ (also love your accurate pronunciation of the places and names!)
“ I will never die” Meaning her ghost will still lingering around the house she live in. Haunting anyone and everyone. I say burn it down to ashes anything that have to do with the witch/Mona
It's not really related but I heard this from my cab driver. Back in the '90s, one of the houses in the same lane as mine also belonged to a shaman/witch doctor. He said that Mona always visited the shaman, "For what?" I asked him. "Probably black magic and stuff, who knows,". I was intrigued because I'd heard of Mona's case but I didn't born yet at the time so I didn't know much. AND I'd never of the house's story like that before as currently, my neighbourhood friends lived there so I have fond memories of it. I asked my parents about the story and my mum was surprised I knew about it since she never told me about it! I asked if it was true, and she said yeah, but on the Mona part, she doesn't know. So yeah. Just a few pieces related to Mona I guess. ... "Don't worry anymore lah, the shaman is already dead and look at the house now, so beautiful and modern!" The taxi driver tried to assure me as we passed the house, genturing to it (I didn't need it but thanks, pak cik lol). "Yeah, the house have several children now so the remaining ghosts go far away since much more 'monsters' have taken control of the house." "Haha ya lah, either way, you don't do this black magic thing lah. It's haram in Islam and very frowned upon, a very big sin as murder. But some people never learn, funny although we're advanced now and people still do such stuff. Just take the case as a lesson that's all." He reminded me at the end. Nice way to end the story, Pak cik. ... This is why I like taxi more than Grab, you could hear stories from them.
Love how cute you pronounce malay words 😂😂😂 Btw i used to go to college few kilometers away from their house at raub, idk how to describe the spook when it still look somehow untouched after almost 2 decades left empty 💀 me and my friends meet local aunties (one of them is their neighbor) that tell us Mona is actually nice person despite the 'cold' looks and rumors about the black magic. She often cook and give to the neighbors. Some local speculate that meat she use for cooking is human's lol we cant confirm that tho. Thank you Megan for covering this case 🙏 cant wait for your next video
Thanks for covering this story. This is one story that my parents always brought up when I was a child. It always gives me a chill listening to this story.
Yay, you covered it!! I remembered being fascinated by this sorry when it happened ( ah my weird childhood) and thankful you covered it funnily enough, people still seek to use bomoh and black magic nowadays, some even joining cults perverting islamic teaching
Megan, the way you spoke 'ku nyanyikan lagu ini' was on spot, exactly what a Malaysian pronounce it in Bahasa Malaysia, not a single Korean accent in it, marvellous. 👍 And yes, it was indeed a high profile case back then that involved greeds, the corrupted and twisted minds. Good and well researched into this.
I love your contents before this came out. The respect, the voice and the way you delivering the cases, it kept me awake everytime. Thank you and kudos for emphasising and explaining that although main religion in Malaysia is Islam and witchcraft is forbidden, it is true that some still believe in superstitions still, even until today. The info you are explaining about title Datuk, talisman, its all legit and correct information. Keep delivering the dark cases in such unbiased, clear and true ways🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
My grandmother was acquaintances with Mona Fandey. She told me that Fandey was always nice to her and even gave big sums of "duit raya" during Hari Raya
We were once Dato' Mazlan neighbor back in the 90s in Kuantan Pahang. Dato' Mazlan's Wife (Datin Faridah) were my mom best friend (she usually came to our house for tea time and chatting with my mom - Those day my mom did a small tailoring business so many neighbors would come and have their outfit tailored & sew by my mom). I still remembered she was worried that her husband (missing for more than 2 weeks). And her only son with the late Dato' Mazlan were my friend (although he is around 5 to 7 year my junior). It was a very sad after we get to know what really happened to the husband.
Well he shldnt be playing with fire in the first place. Being a muslim but shirik. Believing in satan other than Allah. He had no opportunity to repent before he died. What a sad ending to his life. And even sadder in the one after life.
Thank you for covering this story , this story is crazy even for me as a Malaysian. I also recommend the Murder of Shaariibuugiin Altantuyaa, is very famous here.
I have to say I really enjoy the way you create these videos. Your cadence and respect towards the victims is fantastic. I genuinely look forward to your updates and wish you nothing but success!
I've been on a marathon these two days. I really like (and misses) the presentation of these videos you make; with sets and host. Brings me back to other similar content creators who used to have this kind of presentation.
I honestly think her music career would've been much successful if she tried enough. Even if she wasn't a popular singer, just imagine a few people singing her song. Too bad she got on the wrong path instead. This case gave me the shivers.
Thank you for covering this case, Megan 🫶🏻 Malaysian subscriber here 🇲🇾 I have never really know about Mona Fandey case though I have heard of her many times, and I was still a baby in 1990 🙈 I love how you tell the story ✨ The stupid things people do for fame & money 🤦🏻♀️
Thanks for saying black magic is a sin in islam, yes black magic is the biggest sin in islam and whoever does black magic are not Muslim. Like always great video, your voice is amazing,not too loud or not too low perfectly balanced, focused. Keep posting great videos like this 👍

There’s a song that released recently by Malique called “Sedih Hati” and it features some samples from one of Mona Fendi’s songs! Everytime it plays on radio I get chills lol
Thank you, Megan for this report. Another high profile case in our country is the murder of Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya and her entourage. Maybe you can cover this case too
Megan, have you heard of the story of Elsa Castillo? Her case coined the term “chop-chop lady” in the Philippines for how her dismembered body parts were found along the highway back in 1993.
thank you for your weekly videos of these gruesome murders, i live in asia and its so interesting to watch crime videos from around here cuz i can kinda relate to some topics covered :))))
Thank you so much for doing Mona Fendy cover up.I remember I was 6 or 7 years old at that time and it was shocking for the nation.Untill today its creepy..the prison that she was kept now has turn into shopping center lala mall seem to be haunted.I still believe somes politicians still practicing black magic it just not caught. There lots of creepy crimes and somes horrors Malaysian stories and I hope you do often cover up.Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾 by the way try to find a story about Bukit Salbiah of of the saddest crime murder.
In the town where I was born and lived until I was 12, we lived about 20 km away from the place where Mona buried Mazlan. Whenever we go for a waterfall picnic, we would pass by the place. It was eerie.
When I finished appearing before a Senior Assistant Registrar at Kuala Lumpur High Court few years ago, a fellow practicing lawyer came up to me and whispered to my ear, that the person I'm appearing before was the late Dato' Mazlan's son. My jaw dropped 😮
The hunger for greatness, a poison to sow. She danced with the devil, her soul stained with sin, The sins that consumed her, the bonds that would break. In the quest for great power, she lost something more, The love that once lived, now locked behind a dark door. Let this tale be a warning, to those who crave fame, To those who seek fortune, and those who seek blame. For within every shadow, a darkness resides, A choice to be made, a path to decide. May we stand firm in virtue, our hearts free from greed, For a life well lived, is a life well received. In the end, it is love that outshines every sin, So, let us embrace kindness and let the light in.
I'm watching this right now on my TV as I typed this on my phone haha. Just dropping a comment here to compliment Megan on her excellent pronunciation on all the Malay names and words. Great research and storytelling. I've been hooked on all of the Dark Asia videos and watch them daily. Thanks Megan! Keep up the amazing job.
I love the way you deliver the true story of your content, hoping you add the story of how poor the justice system happened in philippines .The vizconde massacre case,
This happens in the early 90's. There an urban legend about the police discovering the victims heart still beating even after days it was buried. According to the lore, the victim knew he was going to be cut to pieces. It was a ritual to become more powerful version of the human being, somewhat almost immortal. Mona was supposed to dig the remains after few weeks then the remains will attach itself back again. The victim then we reborn a new with mystical powers. But since the victim was well known politician, the family reported him missing and the ritual was botched since the police dug up the remains earlier than it was supposed to. Then it was an urban legend. Mona and her husband might just kill the man for fame and fortune and lied about the ritual (meaning the ritual might not have worked at all).
Thank you for covering this story...its a famous case back then..btw im your fan from Malaysia i love your way of story telling😊..gonna support your channel and keep a good job..
for anyone interested, theres a movie which was a remake for this case called ‘Dukun’. i’d say it’s a pretty good remake since it still gives me nightmares…
when I was a kid..my mom literally turn off our tv when her face pop up in the news..i didn't understand at that time..now I see why my mom doesn't want us to see her face..shi- scary
The malay words you spoke are perfect. I remembered this case so vividly. In fact, I met with Dato' Mazlan just 3 weeks before the murder. We were clearing a place for kayaking recreation in Besu Waterfall. He came over to chat with the organiser and all of us that night. I remembered him to be very pleasant and full of smiles. So shocking when I heard what happened.

@@addiecat6833 Warden penjara dia dah bgitau dlm interview rasmi, Mona dah bertaubat, slalu baca Quran dan berbual dgn pegawai. Ilmu hitam dia rasanya dibuang dgn bantuan agamawan. Keluarga dia di Perlis sangat alim ya.
Jenayah dia adalah satu kesilapan dia sebagai manusia. Kita doa yg baik2 saja.
@@yecly WOW. Seriously?
A film was made loosely based on this case titled "Dukun". Love this content
I really love your pronunciation, great job Megan. When you pronounce Mona's song title I almost thought that you are a Malaysian for a few second😅
Hi Megan! Thanks so much for reading our comments and finally covering this infamous case in Malaysia. We still do talk about her to this day; this goes to show how much the dreadful case has affected the whole country
This has got to be the best covered version of this tragic moment in Malaysian history. Thanks for covering it.
Also, I’m very surprised, most of your pronunciations are nearly as accurate. And actually more so than most others who had covered the same news story.
This case happened at my hometown Pahang, Malaysia. I remember when I was kid, my classmates show me a black and white pic which she took from her father. Her father was one of the inspector incharge. The pic show every part of body that the police found. She then tell us about the murder case. That's where I know the story of this case since I don't really read newspaper that time. After so long I still remember things I saw in the pic 😐
I just discovered your channel the other day and have been binge watching like mad. I'm a true crime buff, but I really only know western cases. All your videos have been a treat, I love your professional and solemn delivery, too many people relay true crimes with a sort of a sensationalist almost jokey way. May the souls of the victims in all the cases you've shown us, rest in peace.
I also recently found her channel and have been binge watching. I'm a huge true crime nerd and am surprised it took me so long to find her.
She deserves so many more subscribers.

Omg ever since Megan said she was going to cover stories from around SEA my secret wish was for her to cover any cases from my country (and this is the exact one I had in mind). Thank you for this Megan~ (also love your accurate pronunciation of the places and names!)
“ I will never die”
Meaning her ghost will still lingering around the house she live in. Haunting anyone and everyone. I say burn it down to ashes anything that have to do with the witch/Mona
the story is amazing but Megan, your pronounciation of Malay words is on point girll❤❤❤
Thank you for covering Malaysian cases❤ I'm a fan from Malaysia 🇲🇾
It's not really related but I heard this from my cab driver. Back in the '90s, one of the houses in the same lane as mine also belonged to a shaman/witch doctor. He said that Mona always visited the shaman, "For what?" I asked him. "Probably black magic and stuff, who knows,".
I was intrigued because I'd heard of Mona's case but I didn't born yet at the time so I didn't know much. AND I'd never of the house's story like that before as currently, my neighbourhood friends lived there so I have fond memories of it.
I asked my parents about the story and my mum was surprised I knew about it since she never told me about it! I asked if it was true, and she said yeah, but on the Mona part, she doesn't know. So yeah. Just a few pieces related to Mona I guess.
...
"Don't worry anymore lah, the shaman is already dead and look at the house now, so beautiful and modern!" The taxi driver tried to assure me as we passed the house, genturing to it (I didn't need it but thanks, pak cik lol).
"Yeah, the house have several children now so the remaining ghosts go far away since much more 'monsters' have taken control of the house."
"Haha ya lah, either way, you don't do this black magic thing lah. It's haram in Islam and very frowned upon, a very big sin as murder. But some people never learn, funny although we're advanced now and people still do such stuff. Just take the case as a lesson that's all." He reminded me at the end. Nice way to end the story, Pak cik.
...
This is why I like taxi more than Grab, you could hear stories from them.
omg finally malaysia’s story. I’m traumatized by this case when I was young. Also thank you for covering this case
Love how cute you pronounce malay words 😂😂😂
Btw i used to go to college few kilometers away from their house at raub, idk how to describe the spook when it still look somehow untouched after almost 2 decades left empty 💀 me and my friends meet local aunties (one of them is their neighbor) that tell us Mona is actually nice person despite the 'cold' looks and rumors about the black magic. She often cook and give to the neighbors. Some local speculate that meat she use for cooking is human's lol we cant confirm that tho. Thank you Megan for covering this case 🙏 cant wait for your next video
Ofc the mak ciks will speculated about the meat, I mean I would too tbh! 😆
@@meowiguess903 ah, the makcik bawang, never fail to arrive at assumptions
Thanks for covering this story. This is one story that my parents always brought up when I was a child. It always gives me a chill listening to this story.
Yay, you covered it!! I remembered being fascinated by this sorry when it happened ( ah my weird childhood) and thankful you covered it
funnily enough, people still seek to use bomoh and black magic nowadays, some even joining cults perverting islamic teaching
how Megan kept a straight face while describing the horror they did to Mazlan is beyond me
Nice to see this case has gained renewed coverage recently. Malaysian here 🇲🇾. Great content as always.
Megan, the way you spoke 'ku nyanyikan lagu ini' was on spot, exactly what a Malaysian pronounce it in Bahasa Malaysia, not a single Korean accent in it, marvellous. 👍 And yes, it was indeed a high profile case back then that involved greeds, the corrupted and twisted minds. Good and well researched into this.
I love your contents before this came out. The respect, the voice and the way you delivering the cases, it kept me awake everytime. Thank you and kudos for emphasising and explaining that although main religion in Malaysia is Islam and witchcraft is forbidden, it is true that some still believe in superstitions still, even until today. The info you are explaining about title Datuk, talisman, its all legit and correct information. Keep delivering the dark cases in such unbiased, clear and true ways🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Oh yes, I love "the voice". Megan has one of the best voice I have came across and what more, an Asian. Respect.
My grandmother was acquaintances with Mona Fandey. She told me that Fandey was always nice to her and even gave big sums of "duit raya" during Hari Raya
Dirty money
We were once Dato' Mazlan neighbor back in the 90s in Kuantan Pahang. Dato' Mazlan's Wife (Datin Faridah) were my mom best friend (she usually came to our house for tea time and chatting with my mom - Those day my mom did a small tailoring business so many neighbors would come and have their outfit tailored & sew by my mom). I still remembered she was worried that her husband (missing for more than 2 weeks). And her only son with the late Dato' Mazlan were my friend (although he is around 5 to 7 year my junior). It was a very sad after we get to know what really happened to the husband.
Well he shldnt be playing with fire in the first place. Being a muslim but shirik. Believing in satan other than Allah. He had no opportunity to repent before he died. What a sad ending to his life. And even sadder in the one after life.
Thank you for covering this story , this story is crazy even for me as a Malaysian. I also recommend the Murder of Shaariibuugiin Altantuyaa, is very famous here.
Assassination of Kim Jong-nam is also very famous here. I am very thrill for all your videos. Thank you again.
Thanks Megan for covering a case from Malaysia. You really did a great job in your research for this case 👍🏻. Looking forward for more great content
I have to say I really enjoy the way you create these videos. Your cadence and respect towards the victims is fantastic. I genuinely look forward to your updates and wish you nothing but success!
I've been on a marathon these two days. I really like (and misses) the presentation of these videos you make; with sets and host. Brings me back to other similar content creators who used to have this kind of presentation.
This is one of the most bizarre case I've come across! Thank you Megan for covering this case :)
I honestly think her music career would've been much successful if she tried enough. Even if she wasn't a popular singer, just imagine a few people singing her song. Too bad she got on the wrong path instead. This case gave me the shivers.
You're legit the best, megan! I've been a loyal subscriber and I really admire you. Keep it up!
Thank you for covering this case, Megan 🫶🏻
Malaysian subscriber here 🇲🇾
I have never really know about Mona Fandey case though I have heard of her many times, and I was still a baby in 1990 🙈
I love how you tell the story ✨
The stupid things people do for fame & money 🤦🏻♀️
Thanks for saying black magic is a sin in islam, yes black magic is the biggest sin in islam and whoever does black magic are not Muslim. Like always great video, your voice is amazing,not too loud or not too low perfectly balanced, focused. Keep posting great videos like this 👍
Doesn’t folk Islam have magick in it?
@@chrishenniker5944 We can only pray and ask for help straight from God Himself, not using any mediator what so ever. The religious teachers / scholars could assist and guide us in the prayers {without doing any Satanic rituals) but only God has the ultimate power.
Her pronunciation of "Ku Nyanyikan Lagu Ini" _*chef's kiss_ 😘🤌🤌
Very interesting story, thank you. This is one of my favorite channels now, thank you for the hard work in telling these stories.
In this case, I was in the court to hear her sentence that time. Good to have Megan share this Dark site of Malaysia case.
Omg, wild story! Btw your voice is very soothing
Wow thank you for sharing abt the case of Mona Fendi! For many Malaysians like myself, even hearing her name today send chills down our spines.
Thank you for being one of the very very few TH-camrs to not butcher pronunciations! truly appreciate it!!
Her smiles are frightening to see, especially she has a really big wide smile. It's like telling u r next, my dear. First time seeing how a caught murderer is so fearless until the last min!
Friend involved in this type of magic and did see money falling from the ceiling amounted to three big sacks. They failed some rules and the money turned into dried leaves. Most car dealers refused cash as many found the money they received turn into leaves.
I’m Malaysian too.. I still get goosebumps whenever I hear her name. & what a bad luck for me that this video came to me at night n now I cannot sleep!!
Yehey new vid again! I really like how you narrate these cases, it's very calm and refreshing to hear. ❤
18:46 ❤your videos although, I wish that you would appear more often because I get excited when you come on TH-cam!! I just started watching these videos and I must say I’m really impressed by how well you produce them. Your voice sounds amazing and extremely soothing as well.

There’s a song that released recently by Malique called “Sedih Hati” and it features some samples from one of Mona Fendi’s songs! Everytime it plays on radio I get chills lol
Amazing video! Always excited to watch when I see you uploaded ❤️
Thank you, Megan for this report. Another high profile case in our country is the murder of Datuk Sosilawati Lawiya and her entourage. Maybe you can cover this case too
Megan, have you heard of the story of Elsa Castillo? Her case coined the term “chop-chop lady” in the Philippines for how her dismembered body parts were found along the highway back in 1993.
I have been binging your videos lately. You’re awesome!
thank you for your weekly videos of these gruesome murders, i live in asia and its so interesting to watch crime videos from around here cuz i can kinda relate to some topics covered :))))
Thank you so much for doing Mona Fendy cover up.I remember I was 6 or 7 years old at that time and it was shocking for the nation.Untill today its creepy..the prison that she was kept now has turn into shopping center lala mall seem to be haunted.I still believe somes politicians still practicing black magic it just not caught. There lots of creepy crimes and somes horrors Malaysian stories and I hope you do often cover up.Love from Malaysia 🇲🇾 by the way try to find a story about Bukit Salbiah of of the saddest crime murder.
In the town where I was born and lived until I was 12, we lived about 20 km away from the place where Mona buried Mazlan. Whenever we go for a waterfall picnic, we would pass by the place. It was eerie.
Her masterpiece performance, forever will be remembered in the history of Malaysia, Mona Fendy will remain an icon of Greed.
When I finished appearing before a Senior Assistant Registrar at Kuala Lumpur High Court few years ago, a fellow practicing lawyer came up to me and whispered to my ear, that the person I'm appearing before was the late Dato' Mazlan's son. My jaw dropped 😮
Damn... That's interesting..
Amazingly explained Megan!! ❤
The hunger for greatness, a poison to sow.
She danced with the devil, her soul stained with sin,
The sins that consumed her, the bonds that would break.
In the quest for great power, she lost something more,
The love that once lived, now locked behind a dark door.
Let this tale be a warning, to those who crave fame,
To those who seek fortune, and those who seek blame.
For within every shadow, a darkness resides,
A choice to be made, a path to decide.
May we stand firm in virtue, our hearts free from greed,
For a life well lived, is a life well received.
In the end, it is love that outshines every sin,
So, let us embrace kindness and let the light in.
Bravo 👏
Their more more more worse horrible Black 😝😝😝😡African So painful So Horrible
Looking at her pictures, send shivers down my spine 😬
This is a very disturbing story @Dark Asia with Megan murder and witchcraft is only seen in movies, but has come to life.
Malaysian here ! I love how perfect it is when you pronounce Malay words 😮
Dukun, the movie adaptation, was initially banned in 2006 the year it was supposed to come out but was then premiered in 2018.
Yeah coz it involved a politician
@4:42 I can't believe you're saying it right, very Malaysian I must say.
Tahniah!
Your pronunciation of bahasa was good. Thanks for covering Malaysia case.
I'm watching this right now on my TV as I typed this on my phone haha. Just dropping a comment here to compliment Megan on her excellent pronunciation on all the Malay names and words. Great research and storytelling. I've been hooked on all of the Dark Asia videos and watch them daily. Thanks Megan! Keep up the amazing job.
megan always makes me amaze every story she unleashed... I hope you can cover the Manila Hostage Crisis in 2010
I love the way you deliver the true story of your content, hoping you add the story of how poor the justice system happened in philippines .The vizconde massacre case,
Love your videos ❤ . Could you cover some dark cases from Bangladesh 🇧🇩that many people doesn’t know about?
This happens in the early 90's. There an urban legend about the police discovering the victims heart still beating even after days it was buried. According to the lore, the victim knew he was going to be cut to pieces. It was a ritual to become more powerful version of the human being, somewhat almost immortal. Mona was supposed to dig the remains after few weeks then the remains will attach itself back again. The victim then we reborn a new with mystical powers. But since the victim was well known politician, the family reported him missing and the ritual was botched since the police dug up the remains earlier than it was supposed to. Then it was an urban legend. Mona and her husband might just kill the man for fame and fortune and lied about the ritual (meaning the ritual might not have worked at all).
Since yesterday when I discovered this channel that lead me to Subscribed.I was stocked and beingie watching it since last night😊
Im impressed with your pronunciation of those malay words... Not all foreign TH-camrs able to pronounce properly... Bravo
Good one, Megan! Waiting for cases on Canny Ong, Altantunyaa.. and many more from Malaysia.
Thank you for covering this story...its a famous case back then..btw im your fan from Malaysia i love your way of story telling😊..gonna support your channel and keep a good job..
for anyone interested, theres a movie which was a remake for this case called ‘Dukun’. i’d say it’s a pretty good remake since it still gives me nightmares…
Your malay pronunciation is sooo good!!! love from Malaysia ❤
I always love the way you narrating the case. I will always support your videos~ Hwaiting~~ 💕
Finally Mona Fandey case from Malaysia. Tq
when I was a kid..my mom literally turn off our tv when her face pop up in the news..i didn't understand at that time..now I see why my mom doesn't want us to see her face..shi- scary
The malay words you spoke are perfect.
I remembered this case so vividly.
In fact, I met with Dato' Mazlan just 3 weeks before the murder. We were clearing a place for kayaking recreation in Besu Waterfall. He came over to chat with the organiser and all of us that night. I remembered him to be very pleasant and full of smiles.
So shocking when I heard what happened.
Wow!
I knew this gonna get featured after that Indonesian case
Malaysian here 🇲🇾
Love when you mentioned about Islamic beliefs/teachings.
Hi megan. Cannot belive u will cover this case. I’m a Malaysian and this case still haunted me till this day.
