Im from Malaysia, i could read Malay, among Malay community, they do publish own books. Yes, they also said the handphone not working when encounter such "space". The one I read is a 300 meter short cut to main road, the young Malay man ride motorcycle passing by that short cut, his Nokia phone cannot work. He manage to escape is because he slip down the hill together with his motorcycle in super fast speed, imagine down the slop of the hill + motorcycle + fast speed, and suddenly he reach the main highway. He saw another young girl want to use that shortcut small path, but could not stop her, both using motorcycle. She is missing afterwards. He said that short cut is common path, everyone using, maybe during certain time, that area suddenly bcm different space. Nobody know.
