KUCHING, Dec 5 — A house in Tabuan Desa here nearly caught fire when a table combusted into flames.
The Sarawak Fire and Rescue Department (Bomba) responded to a distress call at 6.11am, dispatching firefighters from Tabuan Jaya fire station to the scene.
“The fire only involved the table and did not involve the whole structure of the house,” Bomba said in a statement.
Based on Bomba’s handout photos, the burnt table was near a larger table believed to have been turned into a makeshift altar, suggesting that it was used for occult purposes.

Pentagram is not a symbol related or known to Eastern religions or beliefs. It's a mainly Judeo-Christian or Eastern Mediterranean religious sigil.
The oldest known existence of the Pentagram as some kind of spiritual symbol is from Mesopotamia, likely Sumerian or Assyrian civilization.
ReplyDeleteIsn't the land between the Tigirs and Euphrates in Asia ?
as I wrote, It's a mainly Judeo-Christian or Eastern Mediterranean religious sigil. Eastern in that context does NOT refer to Middle-East, though ME is geographically in Asia but modern politics has it as a unique region (of Middle-East) (and thus not Eastern or if you prefer, Far East, SE Asian, etc)
DeleteSone historical facts I didn't know until I consulted the amazing ChatGPT.
DeletePentagram figures have also been found in 3,000-year pottery remains dating from the Neolithic period in China, older than any known Dynasty.
The exact meaning or purpose of those designs found in China is unknown , so we cannot conclude that they had any spiritual or mystical connections.
Archaeologists are quite in agreement that the Mesopotamian designs had spiritual or magical meanings, but no conclusion on the Chinese designs.
