Ulu Bendul, Negeri Sembilan – A tanker truck driver had a terrifying encounter when he was nearly attacked by a black tiger in the remote Ulu Bendul forest area in Negeri Sembilan today. The incident occurred when the driver stopped his truck by the roadside to relieve himself, only to be suddenly confronted by the wild animal near the back of his vehicle.
According to the victim, who wished to remain anonymous, he stepped out of his vehicle as he could no longer hold his urge to urinate. However, as soon as he exited the truck and walked to the rear, he was shocked to see a black tiger suddenly emerging and attempting to pounce on him.
“I was completely stunned. The tiger was only a few meters away from me. I couldn’t do anything except freeze in place. Fortunately, at that critical moment, several passing vehicles appeared in the area, startling the tiger, which then fled into the forest,” he said.
The truck driver was fortunate to escape without any injuries. However, the incident has raised concerns among road users who frequently travel through the remote area.
Local residents and authorities have urged the public to remain vigilant when passing through forested roads, especially at night or when alone. The presence of the black tiger in the area is still under investigation, and authorities will continue to monitor the situation to ensure the safety of residents and road users.
In light of this, drivers are advised not to stop in deserted or forested areas unless absolutely necessary. If anyone encounters suspicious incidents or threats from wild animals, they should immediately contact the authorities for further action.
