Bomoh’s nude dance exposed

KOTA BARU: A woman bomoh at Jalan Pantai Cahaya Bulan here has been alleged to dance in the nude with young men as part of her “treatment for patients”.

The woman, who is said to be a practitioner of deviant teachings, has been drawing followers through her peculiar style of traditional healing.

Her modus operandi was uncovered when a teacher brought his sick wife to the bomoh, who danced in the nude with some of her “kept” men, who were in their 20s and 30s, while treating her.

Mokhtar Mohd Noor, 53, alleged that the bomoh first gave his wife a drink and uttered an incantation before she got up to dance with a number of the young men, believed to be from a neighbouring country.

He said that while the dancing continued, the bomoh sat on a chair with a yellow umbrella over her.

“She kept uttering unintelligible incantations which sounded like the singing of Quranic verses,” he said, adding that he feared that such a dubious practice would influence young people in the area.

Mokhtar said that he could no longer tolerate the bomoh’s antics and left the place with his wife.

“People say that she is passing down her healing knowledge to the sick so that they would follow her command– either to give her money or follow her teachings,” he added.

A neighbour, Fuzi Nor, claimed that the bomoh, who called herself ibu (mother), practised teachings akin to that of Ayah Pin in Terengganu, including offering drinks to visitors.

“When they are at it, the men and women would dance in the nude until late in the night.

“The ibu would sit on a chair with a yellow umbrella over her while uttering incantations,” he claimed.

Fuzi said that previously, the bomoh frequently moved from place to place to avoid detection by the authorities.

“I want the state Religious Affairs Department to take stern action against the bomoh, whose healing practice is against Islamic teachings,” he added. – Bernama
