My friend used to work in an old Mitsubishi old factory as a sales person. Because it was a pretty busy job, she and her colleagues used to stay til 8pm just to finish up the day’s work.

The only scary part was the long walk from the guard house where her car was parked to her office on the 2nd floor of this Mitsubishi factory. Other than that, because the factory itself was more than 30 years old and the fact that the company did not do any renovations, the lightining was pretty dim with peeled and cracked walls.

And like the many other Malaysians, they choose to travel at night to avoid the traffic jam and also the heat of the sun when noon gets in the way.

As they were travelling along the lonely stretch of Karak Highway, suddenly, the car gave a sudden jerk and started making weird noises. The husband was fairly surprised because he remembered to check the car before travelling long distance to ensure the safety of his family. Soon, they had no choice but to stop by the roadside. The husband got out of the car to check the car engine while his wife and baby was waiting in the car. After a few minutes, he came back and reported that he could not see anything wrong and tried starting the car again. However, the car just would not budge. At loss, the husband made a difficult decision to either wait until another car comes along or walk to the nearest phone booth.
