Foreign Woman Scammed and Threatened with Knife During Perhentian Islands Snorkeling
A foreign woman shared on TikTok how she was scammed and chased with a knife during a snorkeling trip in the Perhentian Islands. She and her sister were initially offered a discounted snorkeling trip for RM30 per person by a female restaurant employee. After the trip, the boat operator demanded more money, stating they had not paid the full amount. The female employee then insisted they owed an additional RM70, leading to a dispute. Although the woman agreed to pay another RM30, a friend of the employee appeared with a knife and chased them. The woman called for clearer pricing policies in Perhentian Islands and advised tourists to confirm all prices before purchasing services.
