Sang Ha Meen

0 comments
Noodles with giant river prawns. Drooling already? SAM CHEONG tells you where you can get the best sang har meen.

STIR-FRIED freshwater prawn noodles or sang har meen is one of the most expensive street foods ever to be served in a coffee-shop or at a roadside stall.

A plate will cost you roughly about RM35-RM80 depending on the seasonal price of the udang galah, or the giant river prawn (genus Macrobrachium Rosenbergii).

At a market rate of RM52 per kilogramme for grade A prawns (250g and above for each), it’s no surprise why you only get two halves with each plate of fried noodles.

But what makes this unusually tasty is the blend of ripe prawn roe and a superior sauce that comes with the sang har meen.

To keep the dish simple, the noodles come simply garnished with stalks of spring onions and sliced ginger. This no-frills recipe depends mainly on the freshness of the prawns.

The prawns are not over-cooked to maintain their flavour and as for the choice of noodles, sang meen or wanton noodles are preferred. After being deep-fried, the gravy and prawn halves are poured on top and the dish is served immediately.

For the best sang har meen, it’s been said that the majority of the eateries that serve this particular noodle dish are located within the Klang Valley, so, really tough luck for all you food lovers outside of this area.


Top five places to find sang har meen

Kuala Lumpur:

1. Kedai Makan Soo Kee at Jalan Imbi. This place is famous for their ngou-yuk hor (stir-fried beef koay teow) but it is certainly well-known for their sang har meen as well. To savour their cooking, you’ll need to head out early. Be warned, parking spaces here are scarce.

2. Backlane coffee-shop off Jalan Silang. This is one of Kuala Lumpur’s best-kept secrets. It’s located on a lane beside Hon Ming textile shop and opens only for lunch. The fresh prawn noodles here are second to none.

Petaling Jaya:

3. Restoran Green View, located near the Section 19/3 or Rothman’s roundabout. Dubbed as the “THE” place for sang har meen in Petaling Jaya, this is a full-fledged restaurant that offers some excellent dishes like roasted suckling pig and stir-fried frogs with ginger and shallots.

Kuala Lumpur:

4. Makan place at the ground level of Life Centre off Jalan Sultan Ismail. Another place well-frequented by city dwellers for its excellent noodles. Perhaps one of the priciest stalls in the Klang Valley.

Bidor, Perak:

5. Coffee-shop opposite the town’s bus station. This low-profile makan place offers plenty of surprises and one the most-talked about dishes here is the sang har meen. But since the udang galah is seasonal, be sure to ask first before you order.

On bomohs

0 comments

MANY people are aware of popular alternative beliefs such as feng shui and astrology. However, going deeper beyond these practices would take one into the realm of spirituality – and that includes dealings with bomohs, spirit mediums and the like.

“Usually with bomohs, there is some spiritual element involved,” says Dr Amir Farid Isahak, a medical specialist who practises holistic, aesthetic and anti-ageing medicine. He is a qigong master and founder of SuperQigong. He is also a Sufi practitioner and the columnist for Starmag’s Art of Qi.)

Spirituality encompasses religious spirituality, where there is reliance on the “good” elements coupled with a belief in an almighty god. However, it can also be taken to mean practices in which jins (evil spirits) are invoked..

“There is black magic and white magic ... bad spirits and good spirits,” Amir points out. “Similarly, some recite verses from the Quran to invoke God’s intervention, while others may chant non-Quranic verses or mantra to call upon dark forces.”

But how, in today’s day and age, does one explain the prominent role in society of bomohs and such?

“Even now, there are many diseases that cannot be healed, or some areas where science and technology have little relevance. That is why there is alternative medicine and a lot of demand for their services,” says Amir.

So how does one tell the good from the bad?

“If you use Quranic verses and rely on God, it is good. You acknowledge that God is the healer, and everything else you use is a medium to receive healing from God. But using any third party is suspect. If you call upon spirits and are not mindful that the healer is God, you are committing what is called syirik (which in Islam means praying to or worshipping beings other than Allah),” Amir explains.

Ultimately, the safest power to believe in is God himself. However, there is nothing wrong in seeking the guidance of those who are close to God, he says.

Guided by feng shui

FENG SHUI’S growing popularity can be attributed to people’s curiosity, according to Master Wong Keen Ming, president of the Malaysian Feng Shui Association.

“I guess people have this urge to want to know about their future,” he said.

Wong Keen Ming: ‘Now more people see feng shui as a science and not superstition.’
Wong said that almost all businessmen and politicians believe in feng shui. Through his years of experience, he finds that the biggest reason people seek out feng shui is money.

“They all want to know when they can strike it rich!” he said with a smile.

The second reason, he said, is love. “People come as couples to check out marriage possibilities or as singles to find out why their ba zi (date and time of birth) seem to go against them,” explained Wong, who is based in Petaling Jaya.

Inquiring about the best profession to go into or whether they can have children are other common reasons people seek out geomancers.

“Generally, people come because they are dissatisfied about something in their lives or want to improve their businesses,” he said.

The busiest time for Wong is between the ninth and 12th month in the Chinese calendar because many people will move house for the New Year or renovate their houses then.

In the last two years, Wong, 42, also noticed that his client profile has become younger, ranging in the 20s and 30s. “I would say about seven out of 10 are aged below 40. I’m surprised at that,” he admitted.

Many of them, he said, are unhappy about work and career.

“Some feel that even though they work really hard, only their bosses become richer. And when they venture out to do business on their own, it doesn’t work out,” he shared.

According to Wong, actual feng shui is based on landscape, natural surroundings and also common sense, and does not use things like the eight trigram or talisman, and thus does not contradict religion. “Now more people see feng shui as a science and not superstition,” he explained.

Wong stressed that feng shui is only a form of support. “Even though good feng shui helps you, one still needs to work hard and evaluate his own character and behaviour towards other people,” he maintained.

Astrologer K. Shanmugavel, better known as Thuravi, said the majority of those who seek his services did not believe in astrology initially.

“But people come when they have problems that cannot be solved,” said Thuravi, an astrologer for 19 years.

Mostly, he said, people come to seek advice on finance, health and love. “Some even come to ask for empat ekor predictions but I do not give such advice,” shared Thuravi, 62, adding that the beginning of the year is the busiest period for him.

Thuravi believes that one’s life is like a graph, with many ups and downs. “Before they enter these ups and downs, people want to know. They want to prepare and work towards those times,” he said.

Thuravi first studied astrology to debunk it, ironically. But upon researching it, he soon became a believer.

“However, astrology is only a guide to a good and prosperous life. I still encourage people to pray to their god.”

Despite the fact that the educated and modern world may pooh-pooh astrology and predictions, he said that people still want to know about their future.

“In fact, with more people being educated, they really study astrology and realise that it is a science.”

However, he maintained that one’s future cannot be changed through astrology although one can reduce the impact of its “damage”.

“Astrology is about guidance, advice and predictions. One’s destiny cannot be changed but it can be altered by God and (through) prayer. Beyond astrology, God’s grace is greater,” he said.

In his experience, medium and feng shui master Lee Chai Yen said the younger generation is more into feng shui and fortune-telling.

“The youngsters are more modern and believe that things like going into a trance is a superstition,” said Lee, 54, adding that bogus and insincere mediums give a bad name to the belief.

Lee, who goes into a trance once a week, said those in their 20s or 30s usually want to know about their future, mainly regarding jobs, career and business. “They want to know which job or industry is best suited for them to venture into,” said Lee, who is based in Subang, Selangor.

He said a decade ago, young people regarded feng shui as something mysterious. However, now, they are the ones who appreciate it and develop a great interest in it.

Older people come to him when they are ill and want to know if they have “disturbed” any spirits.

“Parents also worry for their children and come to inquire about their career or marriage prospects,” he added.

Susuk - Black Magic ?

0 comments
Needles & thread

Feel like a doormat? Look like a hag? For some people, the solution is susuk, the ancient art of implanting foreign objects under the skin to make a person more alluring. But is it real or merely an illusion?

It is almost midnight on a weekday, yet there are no fewer than seven people in the canary yellow living room of a tiny apartment in Pandan Jaya, Kuala Lumpur. All are seated on the floor, backs against the wall, waiting for their turn with Mas Ayu, 34.

She is a paranormalist who dabbles in susuk, the ancient art of embedding foreign objects like gold needles, diamond particles, mercury and plant-based ingredients (fruits, betel leaves, turmeric, pepper, shallots, etc) under the skin to increase a person’s allure. The knowledge is usually passed down through the generations.

Mas is not as I had imagined her. She’s wearing a black tunic and headscarf, and her eyes are lined with kohl. Her place reeks of tobacco smoke, not of burning incense, and on the floor is a tray lined with a yellow cloth piled up with roots, turmeric, betel leaves, flowers and different kinds of lime.

“Did you by any chance visit another bomoh (faith healer) before me?” she quizzes.

I nod.

“No wonder he sent his people,” she says mysteriously.

“Do you mean to say the bomoh I met earlier sent a medium through me to spy on you?” I blurt out.

Mas merely shrugs.

In the name of beauty: (Top) An X-ray showing susuk in a person’s face; (Above) Mas Ayu performing her ‘magic’ on a customer.
“I saw you were shivering. Felt any dizziness today?” she asks, concerned.

“Not that I noticed,” I reply, recalling having run up and down the futsal pitch with relative ease barely two hours ago.

“Just remember to read the Al-Fatihah (a verse from the Quran),” Mas reminds me.

Najiha (pseudonym), 29, is one of those who have come tonight to seek help from Mas. She is quite reluctant to open up but relaxes when I promise not to name her. Her mother is chattier and tells me that her family has been the victim of black magic for years. Najiha has not been spared.

“At work, I felt invisible. My colleagues treated me like an outcast. Even my employer acted as if I was never there. After Mas got a susuk berlian (diamond implant), I was promptly promoted. People finally started paying attention to me,” she reveals.

In another corner of the room sits Nina (pseudonym), 27, an entrepreneur.

Business has been slow for Nina, so she wants Mas to give her an aura that would make people spend more money at her restaurant.

The ritual begins with a floral bath to get rid of bad karma. Wearing a batik sarong, Nina is bathed by Mas, who chants monotonously. Later, Nina dresses and sits opposite her.

The ingredients and tools of various forms of ancient healing.
She is instructed to read a Quranic verse, while Mas rubs a red rose clockwise on her face until all the petals fall off. Then Mas announces that the diamonds have been embedded. Nina says her face feels itchy and she can feel something moving in her forehead.

“Some practitioners insert objects which are visible to the patient. The method varies depending on the knowledge and expertise. The way I do it, only I can see the diamonds,” declares Mas.

Costing a few hundred ringgit, susuk is said to help you win charm, charisma, confidence and youth. So, what’s the catch?

“Nothing,” comes the curt reply from Mas.

Susuk emas (a gold implant) and susuk berlian must be removed before one dies, otherwise death will be slow and agonising, leaving one begging for release,” says Awang Yahya Mohammed, 55, a fellow practitioner who is said to be popular with celebrities.

Mas, however, claims her susuk will fall out a month before a person dies.

The uncertainties about the consequences notwithstanding, people are not deterred.

“I was frustrated with my boyfriend,” says Suhaili Maflinda Anwar, 25, “so I sought out Awang for susuk emas, but he recommended a susuk ayat (herbal implant) instead.”

Recalling the ritual, Suhaili says it hurt when he used a scalpel to make an “incision” on her face which was big enough to insert a mixture of betel leaves and roots.

“Awang then dabbed water on the cut and the scar simply vanished. When it was over, I looked in the mirror and was thrilled with what I saw. My face was slightly swollen, but I could see something different about me. Even my smile was more enticing,” she adds.

Suhaili thinks the RM630 she forked out for the floral bath and ibu segala susuk (the mother of all susuk) was money well spent.

“Shortly after leaving Awang’s place, I noticed men giving me a second look even though there were other more attractive women around,” she claims.

“My mum asked whether I had done something to my face. I told her the truth and she was OK with it because it was susuk ayat, which unlike susuk emas, is not a sin since metal is not implanted. I’m a more confident person now. People who used to hate the sight of me have become friendly.”

Despite the flattering attention, Suhaili has a small regret.

“A susuk wearer will become too irresistible. There was a man who came to my house asking for my hand in marriage after only three days of knowing each other. I fear what would happen if they become infatuated.”

Normally, susuk wearers are advised to adhere to certain taboos, and the taboo depends on the practitioner they visit.

“Awang reminded me not to scratch my face for three days. I was also prohibited from eating bamboo shoots and passing under a clothesline for one month and 10 days,” Suhaili says.

Each keris has a story to tell.
Mas prescribes other prohibitions.

“For 44 days after the susuk is implanted, one has to avoid eating chicken,” she says. If these taboos are not followed, the susuk will become ineffective, or even pop out.

Before he became a paranormalist, Awang, who sees about 15 to 20 people seeking services from him aside from susuk, used to be an actor. His last role was as tok kadi (a cleric) in Ratu Jamu.

“It was Nasir Tan Sri P. Ramlee (the eldest son of P. Ramlee), who nicknamed me Bomoh Artis Malaysia (faith healer of the celebrities),” he chuckles.

Pictures of Awang and his customers adorn the walls of his office in Pandan Indah, Kuala Lumpur.

“I have been involved in this practice for 30 years. I learnt the skill from my father Tok Ki Yahya Wok, a renowned bomoh in Pahang. My customers are from all walks of life – flight attendants, businessmen, everyday people, guest relation officers, even foreigners,” he says pointing to a picture of him treating a Caucasian woman.

Awang Mohd Yahya doing a susuk demonstration.
Disturbingly, one of his clients was a 15-year-old schoolgirl who wanted susuk for her face and pubic area to enhance her sexual prowess.

According to Awang, the most common reason for wearing susuk is to make one attractive. Without having to do anything, the wearer is said to be able to cast a spell over others.

For those having trouble holding a tune, Awang recommends susuk suara merdu, (mellifluous voice susuk), a form of susuk ayat where organic ingredients are inserted underneath the folds of the chin.

There are also people who come to Awang seeking supernatural powers, usually associated with invincibility, especially policemen.

“Gold is popular in susuk because its beauty is reflected in the wearer,’’ claims Awang. “When you wear a gold ring you will draw attention to your hands. Similarly, susuk planted in areas like the face, hips, breasts and even pubic area draw attention.’’

Both Awang and Mas have contrasting opinions on the permissibility of susuk in Islam.

“Wearing susuk emas and susuk berlian are forbidden because once implanted they will not decompose,” claims Awang.

“Susuk ayat, on the other hand, is all right because it is organic and will eventually be absorbed by the body,” he adds.

Prof Dr Phrabhakaran. — GLENN GUAN/DARRAN TAN/The Star
Mas says differently.

“I recite verses from the Quran in my practice and I do not perform anything that goes against religion, so my susuk is OK to be used by Muslims.”

Most susuk wearers want to keep their talismans a secret, but needles show up on radiograms which are widely used by dentists.

“We have yet to discover the adverse effects of susuk. However, there is a possibility that if not properly done, it can dislodge important facial muscles or organs,” explains Prof Dr Phrabhakaran Nambiar, the head of general dental practice and oral maxillofacial imaging at Universiti Malaya (UM).

A study on susuk by Associate Prof Dr Shanmuhansuntharam, also from UM, has revealed that there are patients who are not aware that they have needles in their bodies, as they were probably put in when they were young.

“Although susuk can be removed surgically, in some cases, it can pose a challenge because the metals may be trapped between layers of fat,” says Dr Phrabhakaran.


o Susuk, a black magic thriller about the forbidden practice, will be screened in cinemas sometime this year. It’s directed by Naeim Ghalili and Amir Muhammad and stars Diana Rafar, Ida Nerina, Adlin Aman Ramly and Sofea Jane.

The alternative

Similar to the practice of susuk is gold thread implantation. It involves inserting gold under the skin but, unlike susuk, the procedure is backed by science.

“The gold thread can increase the production of collagen resulting in an improved skin texture, rejuvenates ageing skin and creates a well-moisturised, glowing complexion,” says plastic surgeon Dr Yap Chung Mui.

“The gold thread can be implanted anywhere in the body where rejuvenation is desired, the most common area being the face. The effects are noticeable within three months and can last up to five years.

“The cost can be between RM5,000 and RM10,000,” Dr Yap says.

As gold is a metal, he explains, the gold thread remains in the body permanently.

---------

Susuk just a crutch

Since bomohs don’t have proper instruments to take out the implants, many susuk users approach plastic surgeons like Datuk Dr R. Gunasegran (pic) to have needles removed.

“First, we do an X-ray from the front and back to see how deep the needle is. The original entry point has closed up so we can’t see where the needles were inserted.

“Sometimes, it might be difficult to remove as over time, our bodies form layers of tissue that embed the needles deeper,” he explains. Common susuk sites include the chin, forehead and cheeks.

When needles are surgically removed, scarring is inevitable. Since the needles are implanted in various locations, Dr Gunasegran has to make an incision for each needle, before stitching it up.

“Whenever possible, we try to cut along the natural lines or creases of the face so that scarring is minimal.”

Most bomohs learn the susuk craft from their forefathers and are not medically trained to make incisions. Hence, Dr Gunasegran says, there is always the danger that the patient will get infected if the needles are not sterilised, or they hit a nerve or artery.

On claims that the needles will pop out before the soul can be released when one is at death’s door, he says it is nonsense.

“I don’t believe in black magic but there is no way the needles can just pop out before one dies. Scientifically speaking, it doesn’t make sense. Gold can cause a little bit of fibrosis and unless it is inserted very close to the surface area, it cannot simply fall out. Usually, these needles are buried between layers of fat,” he says.

Dr Gunasegran says one has to view the psychological profile of these women who are patronising the bomohs. Usually, they have problems with self-esteem, confidence and menfolk.

He rationalises, “If you notice, the confident woman seldom resorts to such things. The naive woman is probably desperate and has lost her senses. Or she has an inferiority complex, so the bomoh feeds on this.

“The susuk wearer is automatically programmed to believe she has been transformed. She strides out looking more confident and, of course, she will appear more attractive to others.”

For example, if a woman is drop-dead gorgeous but is constantly fussing over a wrinkle on her face, she will appear less attractive than someone who is plain but exudes confidence.

“The mind is such a powerful tool that if you believe in something, it will happen. You don’t need susuk,” he says. – By REVATHI MURUGAPPAN

What the sceptics say

MUHAMMAD NAZRI,
30, THERAPIST

“It’s more of an optical illusion rather than a real physical transformation. People feel attracted to a susuk wearer because their vision is being manipulated by mysterious forces.

“A susuk wearer would be in the company of spirits and satan, even though one is not aware of it.

“At the end of the day, everybody knows befriending evil will bring more harm than good. Once someone offered to teach me how to perform susuk, but I declined because I didn’t want my family to suffer the consequences.”

USTAZ MOHD BASORI
FROM THE MUFTI DEPARTMENT, SELANGOR

“The practice of susuk is related to black magic, and where black magic is concerned, there must be deception. When the wearer starts receiving attention and compliments for her beauty, she becomes dependent on the susuk. This is when djinn and the devil manipulate her faith in God.”

PROF HUSSAIN HABIL
HEAD OF PSYCHOLOGY MEDICINE,
UNIVERSITI MALAYA

“There are people who claim to possess telekinetic and psychokinetic powers which supposedly enable them to move objects with their minds, but studies have shown that, in most cases, it is merely a sleight of hand. In fact, we have patients coming in who genuinely believe they have extra sensory perception and claim that they can perform psychic healing.

“However, when we run tests, the findings show that their claims are not justified. It is difficult to draw a line between what’s real and what’s not because these paranormal practices are bound by culture and tradition.

“Compared to 20 years ago, the number of people seeking a bomoh’s help has declined. Statistics show that three out of four people doubt a bomoh’s claims. With education and religious exposure, this practice is no longer gaining credibility.

“The community must exercise an open mind, practise extra caution and not be so gullible when associating with paranormal practitioners, bearing in mind (it may lead to) incidents like rape, fraud, and even manslaughter. If something is too good to be true, it normally is.”

JFK

0 comments
My Rating: Very Good

Release Date: 1991

Lessons: Nothing is impossible - people can even kill the president of the United States; the most powerful man in the world. To be the most powerful man in the world means you also have to bear all the responsibilities and hazards that office brings - you must have balls bigger than your head.

Covers the period from 1963 to 1968; Produced and released in 1991.

Oliver Stone's self-proclaimed "countermyth," JFK mocks the doubtful veracity of the Warren Commission's findings on the Kennedy assassination and summarizes some of the myriad theories that have been proposed in its contest. Focusing on the investigation by New Orleans district attorney Jim Garrison (Kevin Costner) into the activities of the FBI and other government agencies as well as their attempted cover-ups, Stone weaves fact and speculation into a compelling argument for the reopening of the case files. Garrison begins to investigate local links to the assassination, including Clay Shaw (Tommy Lee Jones), David Ferrie (Joe Pesci), Guy Bannister (Ed Asner), Perry Russo (Kevin Bacon), and Lee Harvey Oswald (Gary Oldman). When the accounts of Ferrie, Russo, and others almost invariably diverge from the FBI versions of events, Garrison begins to suspect a cover-up. Widening his net, he interviews many of the original assassination witnesses and again finds little that coincides with the government's record. Combining interviews with an analysis of the physical evidence, Garrison's team posits the existence of a conspiracy to kill the president. A mysterious Col. X (Donald Sutherland) implies the orchestration of the conspiracy at the highest levels of government, and Garrison is ready to go to trial. Stone deploys video, different film stocks shot at varying speeds, and a dizzying style of montage while harnessing the talents of a large and extraordinary cast to create a film of undeniable power and excitement.

Da Ma Chai | Pan Malaysian Pools - Latest Results

Da Ma Chai by Pan Malaysian Pools is a type of Malaysian lottery drawn a few times weekly.

Pan Malaysian Pools Sdn. Bhd.(PMP), was incorporated in Malaysia on 4th 1988. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tanjong PLC.

Its main business is conducting and managing Numbers Forecast business.

Pan Malaysian Pools is the sole agent of Lembaga Totalisator Malaysia conducting 3D and 1+3D forecast games.

The Holding Company

Tanjong PLC was incorporated in the UK on 2nd January 1926 as the Tanjong Tin Dredging Limited. The name of the company was changed to Tanjong public limited company in 1991.

Tanjong shares were listed on both the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (now Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad) and the London Stock Exchange plc on 24 December 1991.

Da Ma Chai numbers game is similar to that started and played mostly in neighborhoods in U.S. cities. To win, the bettor pick three or four digits to match those which will be randomly drawn the following day. The gambler places his or her bet with a bookie or agent. In those days, a runner has to carry the money and betting slips between the bettor and the headquarters. Today, everything is computerised. The results are available online in a short time.

There are now even some websites online providing free winning number predictions for Damachai punters. Many Malaysians are addicted to "buying numbers" before every Da Ma Chai draw. I've seen people selling software to predict Da Ma Chai winning numbers being sold on Lelong.Com for as little as RM50.

Before every draw the Da Ma Chai outlets will be packed with punters placing their bets hoping to win something. Outside these Da Ma Chai outlets are people selling all kinds of things, from lucky charms and amulets, to pirated DVDs.

Damachai business is always booming especially in working class neighborhoods.
