KUALA TERENGGANU: The State Religious Department has been urged to set up a vigilante group to check and eradicate \u201cblack magic activities\u201d that are purportedly rampant at a cemetery in Bukit Tunggal, Kuala Nerus, near here.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese people have been trespassing into the cemetery at midnight to engage in necromancy,\u201d Bukit Tunggal assemblyman Dr Alias Razak said here yesterday.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese black magic practitioners know pretty well that the locals will avoid going near cemeteries in the wee hours of the morning.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the activities went unnoticed until the recent discovery of witchcraft paraphernalia at the cemetery.<\/p>\n
\u201cSome residents were shocked to discover a white bundle at the cemetery during a gotong-royong<\/em> last week. Initially, they thought it was the body of a newborn wrapped in a piece of cloth,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cBut when they opened it, they found pepper, rotten eggs, soiled panties, lime, needles and rice. This act should be stopped at once.\u201d<\/p>\n The locals lodged a police report fearing there could be more such items at the cemetery, Dr Alias said.<\/p>\n He urged the relevant religious bodies to also probe whether similar activities were practised in other cemeteries in the state.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are still those who believe in supernatural practices to obtain certain magical powers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n He suggested that a vigilante group comprising those with religious knowledge be established to check and stop such activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" KUALA TERENGGANU: The State Religious Department has been urged to set up a vigilante group to check and eradicate \u201cblack magic activities\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"bo_wartawan":[],"bo_jenis":[],"class_list":["post-1979","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-c48-news"],"better_featured_image":null,"yoast_head":"\n
