UITM, Malaysia haunted?
Author’s note : University Teknologi Mara, Malaysia also known as UITM holds a lot of students yearly. Unknown to public, UITM also holds another side of the story for education. The otherside that is majority unknown to public. For those students that have graduated there, some swore that their stories are true. Here are some that a close friend of mine experienced.
I would not have believed in any of the stories my friends tell in the middle of the night until I’ve personally experienced it before. Many time, you would asked? Not really but enough to ensure that believe in their existance.
You see, there was this once when it was late. After band practice at about 11pm, all my room mates were already asleep. I crept quietly into the room to ensure that I had not awaken anyone. Since it would be insensitive of me to turn on the lights, I just crept around in the dark. You may wonder how could I see in the dark? Well, the truth was my bed was situated near the windows the nearest to the dorm’s door so the floating lights streaming into my room helped me to get a better sight of things. I got myself changed and prepared to lay asleep when I saw a white shadow passed the window. Assuming it was just my imagination, I did not bother. But when the second time the shadow passed outside my window again, I thought twice. It could have been anything, perhaps a bird? But that was first encounter with the extra-terrestrial.
After a few months, I forgot about the incident. Exams were closing in and everyone was stressed. It was already past 12 midnight when me and another group of my room mates decided to call it quits. As soon as I touched my bed, I was knocked out due to the extra curricular activities and exams. I could not feel anything that happened throughout the night. The next morning, my roommates looked tired, as if they did not get enough rests and complained if I could hear anything that night. I was as fresh as a daisy and told them I could not hear a single sound! By roommate, sleeping on the lower bunk, told me that all of them were disturbed by the singing voice coming from my bed. I was shocked.
Another encounter I had was during the night as well. Why does all these things happen at night you ask me? I have no idea. But as usual, everyone was already sleeping soundly. I suddenly got up in the middle of the night. I had no idea but I felt that something was staring at me. I turned my back and there was my room mate right across the bed staring pearly eyes straight at me. Initially, I thought it was because she wanted to ask me if I wanted to accompany her to the ladies (for she was always afraid of the dark). But when I whispered her name, she did not react at all. I whispered a few more times just to make sure she heard me but her face remain expressionless and her eyes did not blink. Scared, I turned my back against her and tried to calm myself down. The next morning, she complaint the tiredness of her eyes and I asked her what was wrong. When I related the whole incident to her, she had no recollection or whatsoever of waking up in the middle of the night.
There are many more encounters during my many years there but to list down this are just the few that really made my hair stand thinking about it.

Well, many things can be happened in a hostel. When I was studying in Politeknik and staying in the hostel for the 1st semester, I can heard weird sound like children playing, someone jumping or running at corridor. When I open the door, there was nothing. The weird sound can hear it almost everynight.

ew, you just made my hair stand up! Ya, I got lots of friends telling me about all the hostel stories. Luckily I didn’t have to stay in one myself!

Well…things does happened.. I heard many stories at UiTM and kinda-same-version stories at other universities as well.. Its weird to say, the one who tell stories were mostly not the one who experienced it.. -.-” Anyway, I never encountered any mysterious events after almost 3 years in UiTM…but I would not want to! ;p

Farith, you’re absolutely right! Most of the hostel ghost stories are almost the same. Not much creativity at all, I would say. Frankly, I also wouldn’t want to experience any of these myself! Sometimes, I wonder how would I react if this things do happen, then, I think, I wouldn’t be like that. I’ll most probably faint or die of shock or sth.

HI there… UTIM…hheheheh .. sure happens…. it happens to me…. i wasin science applied course.. my hostel is in C3 – meaning Cempaka campus in Uitm shah alam.. i think stress of exam.. i was restless..couldnt get to sleep… in C3 its like a long narrow dorm.so we have the bed against the wall facing the tall closet and by the window we would have our long study table…
at that nite.. around 3am.. i woke up..listen to a gurl voice that i cannot even recognize at all…i can hear flipping of papers.. but it was dark!!!..but still i can see because of the street lights in front of our dorm… i listen carefully at her voice.. right infront of my bed.. meaning she was sitting at my desk.. i was wondering.. who was it…suddenly she said…. ” susah lah soa lan ni…saaaaapppeer blom tido ek??” followed by giggles…. it really freak me out… i got goosebumps all over…
i quickly covered my face with my blanket…i was shivering & sweating like hell..i can sense a figure in front of my face & breathing hardly in front of me..i couldnt dare to open my eyes & blanket. then i heard the chair …dragged from end to the other end.. i took a peep as it reach in front af my bed area..but i coulnt not see anything..( the street light was actually quite bright..it was our nite light)…
i didnt sleep untill morning…. the next morning i told one of my seniors.. then she revealed a story..my bed was double decker..on top..second end of the left room… the last bed..exactly against the wall ..the lower bed… a gurl student suicide becoz she was frustrated with her BF….she cut her wrist.. they realize when they smell blood & see pool of blood…no wonder my senior didnt allowed anyone to stay in that bed…
starting from that day.. i stayed at my mom’s where actually its near by itm… i was totally freakout… i cannot study i cannot concentrate.. i actually dismissed from applied science… then i continue in Uitm perak..the story continues… but not as bad as this…
just keep in faith in ur believing & God… everything would be alright….

This is weird, I was here 3 years ago and somehow something got me back here! Now that’s scary!! LOL..NAH! Well Aieyda, what I can say here.. your story did make my hair stand coz hearing from the one who really experienced it. And yeah kolej cempaka uitm does look a lil ‘scary’ but same thing for perindu kolej. I was there for a year, but never did encounter anything. Lol, i can remember stories of makcik jual karipap kt tepi tingkap upper floor n stuff and it was great time when us roommates chill together at midnight telling ghost stories.
Anyway, ladies I believe, drop by at my blog n leave some trail so I’ll remember my replies here, or else it’ll took me another 3 years! Hehe ;p

OK. i was an UiTM Shah Alam graduate and it is known for ghost stories..The famous spot is always the good old Tower ..THE MENARA,…and the Perindu Fraternity.
1) When it reach Midnight…The Menara (The Big old main tower building on the hill of the University) is off-limits for humans!!
I heard the story my own dad and he is the ex-student of Uitm .In the 70′s, there a lot of bizzare things happened during its constructions.it seems so hard to complete it.many challenges like, wall suddenly disappeared,missing tools,and construction workers face mishaps and injuries.And the most told stories is, whenever the external layer of the building is being painted with colour..,the colour will suddenly vanished on the next day..like no one paint it before.So, the Administration asked a help from an Ustaz ( An Islamic Preacher) (Btw, Legend said, that ustaz was the Ustaz Haron Din, the famous Ustaz who deals with Paranormal in Malaysia).
So, The Ustaz ,who was believe have made the negotiation with ‘The Unseen’..requested the Administration not to paint the whole external layer of the building (Menara). WHY?..there’s no specific reason ..No one know the reason until today..they admin followed what he said, and it succefully completed.
So, if u happened to go to UiTM Shah Alam or just passing thru Federal Highway in day time..you will see the Menara is still left unpainted..until now…the colour was the same as it was 1st complete , 38 years ago.dull grey. not like other buildings which is being painted with the Uni Colour of purple and maroon.
But then after the completion,..there were a number of case where students lost in the Menara (tower) and it happened at midnight. In the 70′s , The main Library was in the top level of the Menara and students always stay up until midnight to do revision. The recovered victims will mentioned the same thing that cause them to went missing in the Menara : They were distracted by a voice calling their names and followed the voice into ‘a maze’..
Since then, the Admin closed the library and moved it near the Business School,now know as Tunku Abdul Razak Library(now opened until midnight and 3am during Exam week) and other portion were moved to the ground floor of the Menara (which is until now will immediately closed after 9pm). And since then, the students were forbid to go up to the Menara after 10pm.The lectures held in the Menara will end at 10pm.
There’s no solution or reason why..until today.
2) and then , if u lucky enough..at night , try to stare at the top of the Menara . If u are in perfect time , you will see a visual of girl jump of the Menara..
The legend said, in the 80′s there was a female students who commit suicide by jump to the ground from the MENARA ..dunno why she did that.but if lucky,we can see the ‘renactment’ of her committed that..like watching a replay video ..
Perindu Fraternity:The haunted room.
In the 80′s..Perindu is a sorority( Hostel for female)..but a female student commit suicide by wrapping her neck with a long cloth , tied it to the ceiling fan then turn the fan on and strangling herself to dead. Countless stories were heard about the room where now It being sealed.NO ENTRANCE.
So, now..PERINDU is part of Fraternity for ROTU the Army Reserved Officer training Unit.

Wahh..kai banyak cerita die tau la
best btul, jom bile2 lepak mamak cite lg :p Anyway, here I am again, responding to yet another reply..best la kat cni… wat Kai told is true..the building was never painted… I often wonder why..so was this one foreigner (not mat saleh la), he’s from mid-east, a freshie here at UiTM, and he asked me,
“Why they leave the building unpainted.. what do you think about it? Do you like it that way?”
Blank for awhile, then I answered, “I think la they wanna preserve the original texture, material of the building so it gets the look of an old and majestic”. Then I said, “I like the color tho, it gives the creeps n all”.
See. I get the creeps just by looking at it. The menara memang menakutkan, but then again i think its ermmm very gah. Sebenarnye skrg ni tgk online kat PTAR..yg kat menara tu la.. jap lagi around 9pm, i’ll go up to highest floor menara, see la if got meremang bulu roma ke
I’ll reply back asap..kalau dlm 3 hari x reply, plz plz get some help, mana la tau kan..MIA ke ;p
p/s: i dont think we hav greek system (residential) here in uitm..how i wish we hav frats and sorority ;p its more like dormitory..

Hi.. after reading the story from aieyda anieys, i suddenly remember that i experience almost the same thing.
i woke up in the mid of the night and then i suddenly hear ‘someone’ was flipping papers very rapidly. but then she didnt say anything.. at the same time i heard some sort of a cry.. but weird cry.. like a cat’s crying or a baby’s crying or a dog’s crying.
from that night onwards, i slept with my buddy sharing bed everynight until semester finished.!!
btw, i stayed in kenanga 5 before…..
