Man dressed as Imperial Japanese soldier roams neighbourhood at night
Meeting a lone soldier holding a rifle on the streets at night is undoubtedly a terrifying experience.
However, it’s even more chilling to encounter an Imperial Japanese soldier in a place once occupied by the Japanese. One might be fearful if it is a vengeful ghost.
Residents of Taman Bukit Desa in Kepong, Selangor, Malaysia, face this problem. They have seen a man in such a military uniform roaming their streets.
