Ho Koi Hiok @ Ho Koi Cheng from Kampung Tonghai here, said she withdrew all her savings from three different banks and handed over about RM65,000 in cash and jewellery when told her two children may face death from evil spirits. She and her husband Tan Chor Chang, 62, who run a food catering business are penniless after the three women visited their home on Friday.

A weeping Ho told a Press conference arranged by Jawi assemblyman Tan Cheng Liang that a 40-year-old woman had approached her and asked if she knew any bomoh (medium) who could help chase away evil spirits which had affected her husband. "When I told her I did not know any, another woman also a Chinese national approached us saying she knew a friend who could help her.

"While we were talking, a third woman also a Chinese national approached us claiming that her grandmother could chase away evil spirits."

One of the women then told me that my face showed that I too was possessed by an Indonesian spirit and instructed me to carry out a cleansing otherwise my two children aged 31 and 22 would die," she added.

The woman told Ho to bring all her savings and jewellery. Ho rushed home on her motorcycle, took her three bank passbooks, withdrew RM60,000 and brought her jewellery."When I returned the three women were there and were holding two black plastic bags and I placed my cash and jewellery into one of the bags and they asked me to look up to the sky. "

After a short while they gave me a bag and told me to only open it after seven days, but I opened the bag when I suspected something amiss later in the day and found newspapers, apples and packets of salt and flour," she said.

Sexual Healing??

KUALA LUMPUR: A woman had sex 51 times with a medium, paid between RM20 and RM50 per session — all in the name of healing.The medium had allegedly told her that her financial and domestic problems stemmed from the fact that she was possessed and that he could rid her of the evil spirits by having sex with her.The 41-year-old housewife believed him and resorted to having sex with the 52-year-old medium once a week for the past seven months.The "treatment", however, ended abruptly last week when the woman’s husband, a construction worker, found contraceptives in the bedroom and confronted his wife. By that time, the medium, who called himself "The Ninth Emperor of the Kingdom of God", had gone missing. When they contacted him on his cell phone, he warned them that he would cast a spell if they bothered him.The couple and their only child, a three-year-old girl, were at the MCA public services and complaints department yesterday to warn the public on dangers of resorting to mediums. Department head Datuk Michael Chong said stories of mediums preying on women were nothing new to his department. "I have received at least five similar complaints in the past year," Chong said."In two cases, the husbands claimed they understood their partner’s plight and promised to stand by them. But within days, both men left, accusing their partners of being unfaithful."Chong believed there were many more victims who were ashamed to lodge reports. He advised them not to suffer in silence but to seek help.In the latest case, the couple have yet to lodge a police report. The woman said the humiliation was too much for her and she simply wanted to warn others.Recounting her seven-month ordeal, the woman said she confided in a friend about her financial and domestic problems, who then introduced the medium to her.The medium allegedly visited her home in Cheras and told her that she and her house were possessed and a week after "consultation", he came up with the sex therapy.After each session, she allegedly paid him between RM20 and RM50. Three months ago, he persuaded her to shift into another house within the same area, alleging that the spirits in her home were too powerful.The woman obliged and even allowed the medium to stay with her.
