Wild Men now in Malaysia?

I still remember when I was in the High Middle School in the middle of 90's, there were a lot of speculation as to Wild Men in a very famous tourism destination--Shen Nong Jia-- a place located in Hunan Province in central China. As a stimuli to spot these men, the government once offered a reward of 100,000 RMB to the first one who provided the evidence either photos or videos. Then so many adventurists went to try their fortunates, as a result, I think you already can expect what to happen? No one can find Wild Men and then caused a hugh damage to the ecosystem of Forests in Sheng Nong Jia area, so not before long, the government reversed their stimuli and claimed to recover these mysterial creatures illegally. Until now, I seldom see any reports as to that myth. But now such Wild Men come to Malaysia? AP report in CNN says:

Johor Chief Minister Abdul Ghani Othman said the state will form an official Bigfoot-tracking team in a serious bid to find evidence of such a beast following the reported sightings late last year in the Endau Rompin National Park forest. (note:Endau Rompin National Park is situated along the Johor-Pahang border)

"The mystery of Bigfoot's existence has attracted a lot of interest," he was quoted as saying by the Bernama national news agency. "We hope the expedition will be able to prove its existence."

"Bigfoot" is a popular name given in the United States to giant hairy creatures walking on two legs. Sightings of such beasts have been reported in many parts of the world but their existence has never been proven.

My opinion is that Mentri Besar should learn the China's lesson before such adventure group to be formed. Otherwise, under the spirits of Malaysia Boleh, the concerned adventure team most probably bring some side effects to the concerned areas.
