Did you find MH370?

Shortly after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 lost contact, a famous Malaysian wizard arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport to help find the passenger plane through witchcraft. Later, the mysterious profession of "wizard" in Malaysia was hotly debated on the Internet. Some people say that their status is lofty, while others are noncommittal. What role does the wizard play in the local society?

On March 14, 10, Irabuxin came to Kuala Lumpur International Airport and used his magic to help find the passenger plane. With the help of several assistants, he concluded that the plane was either still flying in the air or had fallen into the sea. He said that "the plane was hijacked by elves" and "a huge eagle appeared over the plane, and then the plane suddenly crashed".

Ibrahim is a famous local wizard, known as the "witch king". It is said that his local business is very good. He has bought a 13 Mercedes-Benz and built a big villa. He also frequently appeared in many major local accidents, assisting in rescue activities or solving paranormal, such as the collapse of tower apartments in Malaysia, paranormal, a famous local haunted house "Nabila Villa", and 1993 witch murder that shocked Malaysia.

It seems strange to outsiders to invite a wizard to solve the problem in such an important event. But in the local area, witchcraft is a profession handed down from ancient times to the present. Wizards, also known locally as "bomoh", originally appeared as witch doctors. Witch doctors use herbs and spells to treat patients. Later, the "functions" of witch doctors became more and more extensive, including channeling, divination and blessing, and gradually evolved from witch doctors to wizards.

People think that wizards can talk to other ghosts directly, as a medium to convey the meaning of ghosts, or summon ghosts to help others solve problems, or curse. A famous skill of wizards is to predict the future and the unknown. People often turn to witchcraft when they are in trouble.

Now, even though technology and medical skills are quite developed, the profession of wizard is still very popular in Malaysia. The National Museum of Malaysia held an exhibition with the theme of "Looking for Ghosts", which attracted 300,000 visitors and set a museum record. Many local politicians will also use the power of wizards to help their "career" go smoothly and get promoted to a higher position.

1993, a "witch murdered a member of parliament" case that shocked the whole country occurred in Malaysia. Mazlan, a member of parliament at that time, invited Mona, a famous local witch, to use witchcraft to help her get promoted and get rich, but Mona and her husband brutally killed her and dismembered her body, buried her in a big hole and sealed it with cement.

The case was not solved until 200 1, and the Mona couple were arrested and sentenced to hang. However, during the execution, Mona the witch behaved strangely. She smiled and looked calm, wearing colorful clothes. Before she died, she said to herself, "I will never die", which left a mysterious impression on people.

Wizards will also appear frequently before major national events. The major events mentioned above in which Ibrahim participated were all the famous local paranormal. For example, the collapse of Gao Feng Mansion apartment caused a great sensation at that time. Later, it was rumored that the location of the incident often appeared supernatural phenomena, such as ghosts haunting and babies crying in the middle of the night. The haunted house "Nabila Villa" has also been listed as "one of the top ten haunted houses in the world" by netizens. In these activities, local people will ask witches to exorcise evil spirits or pray. Therefore, it is not surprising that in this plane loss incident, a wizard was asked to perform divination.

However, wizards also cause political and religious opposition in the local area. The state religion of Malaysia is Islam, and there are more than10 million local residents who are Muslims. They are not interested in witchcraft and even oppose it. In this case, a spokesman for the Islamic NGO Pertubuhan Ilmuan Malaysia said: "This meaningless religious ceremony will only embarrass Muslims in Malaysia."

Malaysian opposition leader Anwar also publicly accused the government of letting wizards find planes. "Don't we look stupid enough?" Later, the Malaysian Prime Minister's Office also denied the official invitation to the "Witch King" and sent officials to inspect it to prevent the wizard from running to the airport.

In fact, the number of "orthodox" wizards in Malaysia has been greatly reduced, but there are many liars. Therefore, "wizard" is now regarded as a superstition, but it is still very popular among the people.
