Mimicking P.Ramlee....in times of trouble !

This is an alternative form of SAR (search and rescue) we Malaysians are contributing to locate the mysterious disappearance of Flight MH370 since March 8th 2014.

Is this Raja Bomoh (shaman) officially contracted and paid to do this "mumbo-jumbo" and even invoking the name of the Almighty,  in the concourse of our International Airport for the world to see ? (scenes from movies of the  maestro, the late P. Ramlee himself, are attached for "coincidence" effect) Heck, the place is crawling with foreign journos and looking at the "suits"  these guys are in, they sure are hoping to be "accidentally shot" in their best attire by the foreign media.

It is 5 days since the disappearance of Flight MH370 which vanished into thin air, an unexplainable mystery that has got the whole aviation industry and highly trained experts scratching their heads. Many countries are still racing with time in the hope of locating the plane's whereabouts and the 239 people aboard. Modern satellite and communications equipment can be dumped into the rubbish bin IF these guys (shamans or locally known as bomohs) can locate MH370 first.
In the meantime the rest of us can only offer a prayer and maybe hope for a miracle.....i.e. if you do believe in it.

These are the real champions.
The malay world-view is invalid without 'bomoh' figures. Please understand the malay mind and do not underestimate them.
The 21 st century or beyond, the bomohs are always a relevent element in malay dailylife.Check every malay minister or royal household, you will find the bomoh kept in high regard.They work with the unseen to cure every predictment.
No wonder the fatwa Council or 14 muftis are all silent !
