In Malaysia there are different races and religions, namely Malays, Indians and Chinese.At this time I will share some stories that I have reviewed the superstition in the Malay Muslim community living in this era. we still can see how the practice of superstition is still upright and still live in traditional Malay customs and culture, especially in the wedding,death, healers use and midwifery, and self defense training.In addition, the belief in sacred objects like a dagger, graves, large trees, rocks and so strong so that it can see some Malays who still care and retain the best dagger from the hereditary estate, which said as "Guardians of the family." Among the practices are still practiced in Malaysia is like to plant the placenta after birth, the use of talismans and beliefs about santau,sending marriage, betel trellis, rice height, belly roll, 40/100 feast days after death,sangkak.This practiced have influence in the Hindu custom of the Malays.
Superstitions is still practiced today:
PLACENTA-Placenta is the tissue that attaches the mother's womb and be connected to the baby through the umbilical cord.Placenta was issued after the baby is born Muslim and Malay communities, plant placenta, placenta is usually in front of the house. If the plant ran out of fear of getting a mate who is far away.There is a belief that the placenta to the new born daughter planted with scoops and spoons cause and she will know how to cook. There is also the placenta is washed clean and put salt, then put a nail and so on. Although there Some parents said these things to make their son clever artisan.Logically, the placenta is a clean way to reduce fishy smell of blood and salt can also reduce bacteria while reducing odor. This can avoid the dogs and wild animals from digging near the placenta, and newly planted. Nails and other sharp objects around the placenta can also cause dogs and wild animals lost appetite.
SANTAU- Malay people really love to play santau. There are only liable to cough blood.I heard have a coughing up blood and vomiting blood to come out of nails and glass. If the front of our eyes see the object really out actual santau. But if the extent of coughing up blood, do not see what objects are out ... whether it santau? Or actually maybe Tuberculosis or TB? Or maybe because lung cancer is smoking too much? Do not make early conclusions so the more reason we should consider not think.
TALISMAN-Sometimes, we see children who come to the clinic wearing a yellow belt or a black string tied around his waist. Some are wearing the wrist strap. These are all called talismans and charms legal scholars believe illegal use due to fear of causing shirk. When I asked the young parents who use charm is why, the answer is that parents are told. The possibility of a common matter of time before. But now with the Malaysia that many scientists in the field of religion, religious programs such as the forum of Islamic affairs, beliefs about the talisman must be removed far away from our minds. Actually, the belief in the power of this talisman is a lot of Hindu and Buddhist religions as the patient's children from Indian and Chinese descent average wearing similar charms.
