Western and Malay's superstitions!

I watched this movie which title I can't remember couple of night's ago. It was a horror movie, and it has some superstitious practices spelled in it.

Watching that, I realized that some of the superstitious belief in the Malay culture might have originated from the Western belief! Like I remember my mom forbade me to let my baby to look into the mirror but not giving the real reason behind it. From that movie, it was said that if a baby look in a mirror, he/she won't live long after that. Another superstitious belief that I've read about in the Malay culture, which is similar to the western one is to put scissors under your pillow to ward of setan!

So, who says that our generations are the only ones influenced by secular thoughts? Our nenek moyang had also been secularized even wayyyyyy before us okeh!

  1. jgn bg anak main cermin. x elok. nanti dia suka main dgn bayang 'org lain'.

    letak gunting bwh bantal tu belum pernah dgr lagi.

    setakat ni la kan,sy x ambil pusing dgn pantang larang yg xde tujuan yg jelas dan nyata.

    seperti apa yg menyebabkan setan 'lari' jauh bila letak gunting bwh bantal? urm..

  7. camni. org tua x bg anak main kat cermin sebab nanti dia suka main cak cak dgn makhluk halus yg dia nampak. seperti makhluk halus tu boleh dilihat kat cermin. camtu la.

  8. betul la..my late grandma dulu tak bagi adik (baby) kami tengok cermin..no reasons at all, then bila ada anak sendiri ada gak teringat tapi tak folow pun, bagi je anak tengok cermin. padahal tengk cermin tu stimulation utk otak kanak2 kan? Tapi ada orang kata bila orang tua kata gitu sbenarnya adlh indirect..budak2 kan cepat tangan, takut diorang pukul cermin tu-pecah. maybe cermin dulu2 nipis sgt ke.hehe.
