A short pause from politics and international affairs to see other aspects of life ........
Last week in Ipoh, parents of a 16-year old girl, who was said to have been raped, decided to send her to a bomoh - a traditional healer or, if you like, a witch doctor - to restore her virginity.
So the teenager from Taiping consulted a 74-year old bomoh, who claimed he was able to restore her virginity with a special oil.
He took the girl into a room to give her a flower bath* before massaging her with the ‘magic’ oil. Apparently, while her parents was waiting outside, in the privacy of the treatment room, the bomoh fondled the girl’s breasts.
* traditionally a purifying ritual
He was arrested after the girl reported to the police at Kampung Gajah. Obviously, the girl wasn't all that convinced of his jambi-ing (magic incantation) cum raba-raba (fondling).
I was wondering if I was the bomoh’s defence lawyer, whether I could use the defence argument to the trial judge as, “Yang Arif, macam mana Pak Bomoh dapat urut dengan minyak sakti kalau ta’boleh raba raba … er maaf … sapukan minyak tu di kedua spotlight … er maaf … badan si-sedap ... er ... gadis tu.”
Hmmm, maybe I might not make a good defence lawyer.
And I would recommend the girl’s parents, if they can afford it, to seek a Japanese surgeon who specialises in hymen restoration. There's less likelihood of molestation, though not guaranteed.
