A Grabfood delivery rider shared his creepy experiences delivering food at midnight, including getting an order to send to a cemetery, and seeing a pontianak at the side of the road.
Here is what he said
I have been working as a Grabfood rider since 2019 after I ORDed from the army, and I have seen my fair share of creepy and spooky incidents.
Reason why I work as a food delivery rider, is because I don’t have much education, last time always play punk in school, and because if you work hard with Grabfood, you can bring home $2k-$3k comfortably, but must whack the orders ah.
I deliver food using my Vespa, so okay ah not bad and not as tough as the cyclists, especially when going uphill.
Delivery order from cemetery at 1am
Anyway there was once I was doing food delivery at night, and at the time I had no orders, so I was smoking beside my motor and waiting for the order to come in.
I was at Jurong Point when I got an order from McDonald’s, I took a quick glance at my phone before hurrying to the outlet to grab the food, because I was trying to do more orders for the day.
I picked up the food and opened my phone and saw that the delivery location was at Cemetery North Street, at Lim Chu Kang Cemetery.
The time was about 1am and although it was the middle of the night, ok la still got people around so I not that scared.
I thought maybe somebody working at the cemetery ordered supper or something, and I just making a living so I just go je.
Along the way as I riding, it felt very eerie, because the further away i rode, the more ulu it was along Jalan Bahar, and I was riding with my headlight on near the cemetery entrance.
You can try ah, riding at 1am alone outside a cemetery in the darkness, damn scary.
I following my GPS location and reached the place but cannot find anyone to pass the food to, I message and called the customer from the app but no reply and no answer.
I called grab support and they also cannot reach the customer, so bopian ah end up I eat the food myself.
Not really anything supernatural or paranormal, but the experience was quite scary.
Pontianak
Another creepy incident that happened to me is definitely supernatural.
Because I usually do most of my orders at night, I spend a lot of my time on the road at night until the sun rise, because the weather more cooling and peaceful ah.
So I was sending one order near Boon Lay and riding on this road by myself when I suddenly smelled frangipani flowers.
It was quite weird because there wasn’t much trees or even flowers around and I wearing full face helmet, so how to smell anything? Unless the source of the smell is inside my helmet or very near me.
I then heard a woman laughing, and it sound like it come from beside me. But I riding motor sia, how to have someone laughing beside me?
I look to my right because that was where the sound was coming from but nothing ah, I then turn my head back to look in front of where I was riding and in the distance I saw a white figure standing at the side of the road.
I sped past the figure and thought okay ah maybe tired, imagining things, then astaghfirullah I saw the same figure standing at the side of the road again.
And the frangipani smell getting stronger and I starting panic already, so i faster ride away and when I saw another car in front I was damn happy because finally got someone else.
I knocked on the driver’s window at a red light ah, and asked him if he saw the same thing I saw, and the uncle nodded his head.
I very badly wanted to use the word “pontianak” but I know if I said it out, sure kena one. But I know that the uncle knew what I was talking about.
He tell me that road quite dirty ah, he drive down here all the time and see many times already, tell me to just say a prayer and go home bathe and wash away the bad luck.
