'Dead mermaid' discovered on Malaysian beach

Kuala Lumpur, Oct 8 : A wave of excitement has run among people in Malaysia after reports emerged that a "dead mermaid" was found on the beach of an island off Sabah's northern Kudat district.
In fact, a clip has also surfaced on YouTube of the "mermaid" lying dead on the shores of the island.
While the clip, under the heading "Dead Mermaid in Kudat", has been on the video-sharing website since Oct 3, tales of the mysterious find had begun much earlier.
However, the police have brushed off any talk of a dead mermaid.
"It is a hoax, someone is playing the fool," The Star Online quoted Kudat police chief Deputy Supt Dawi Ossen as saying.
He said they came to know about the discovery earlier this week, and had checked with the villagers of Pulau Balambangan where the "mermaid" was found.
"There was no such thing; neither had any body been washed ashore," Ossen said.
He further explained that the video clip did not show the island's surroundings as claimed.
DSP Dawi added that a resort operator there had told police nothing unusual had been found on the island in recent weeks.
"I hope people don't get taken in by the video clip, it is totally baseless. Most likely, it's someone playing a trick," he added.  Email this story to a friend

I saw the video clip..no one can tell for sure where it was shot. To me..it was just a model. If it was a dead mermaid, for how long was it there...no one knew...tidak ada seekor lalat pun ada pada mayat

DEFINITELY A HOAX!
We tend to believe everything we see on YouTube. There have been so many video clips about mysterious happenings and I notice most of these clips are unreal and made up. One such clip is the mysterious lifting of a dome over a mosque in Sulawesi. The background voices you hear are not real. It was a duplicate of those voices that you hear in the real tsunami video clip in Acheh. The

The lifting of the dome was actually the job of a tower crane whose cables have been touched up not be seen on the screen. It is a BIG HOAX and so many of us fall for it.
