Komiyum and Vibuthi

I am refering to this letter in Malaysiakini; Indian eateries: Lodge report against mischief-maker.
Now someone has let the cat out of the bag. Before this most of us Malaysian do not know about these words. Now that we know, Malaysian Muslims would think 3-4 times before entering and eating at a Hindu restaurant. Thanks to our Hindu friends like Krisnad who wrote this letter to Malaysiakini and Vijai who responded to my previous blog and Umar Rentaka.
I copy Krisnad letter below. Umar Rentaka explained that cows urine is used to ward off evil and its also antiseptic, so its being used to clean the restaurant...
Malaysian have used Dettol for a long time, I suppose its expensive..

Vijai said 'PLEASE NOTE THAT HINDUS ARE GIVEN VABHUTI(ASH) AFTER THEIR PRAYERS. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THIS ASH IS TO REMIND US(HINDUS)THAT WE COME FROM ASHES AND THIS IS WHAT WE WILL RETURN TOO.'
Well I have no problem with that, you are free to wear your ancestors ashes.
Umar Rentaka said 'By the way, Hindus, sprinkle cow urine on floor to purify it and not to get the blessings from our God. Cow urine is best for warding off evil spirits. It is also anti-septic.'

Thanks for letting us know.
From now on I would think 3-4 times before entering Hindu restaurant, let alone eat there.

Let me explain why;
For a Muslim, piss and poo(shit) are najis. If you wear them to prayer, your prayer is not acceptable. Sembahyang tak sah!
And to enter restaurant that has been cleansed with piss? Its like eating in the toilet. I dont think many Muslim would do that either!

I wish to refer to the malaysiakini report, Another e-mail raises ire of religious group.


‘MJH’ - the person who wrote the e-mail - should have the proper attitude, astuteness, brilliance and broad-mindedness to argue and put forward his points for Malay Malaysians rather than to take cheap shots. Now, the Muslim Consumers' Association of Malaysia says that there is no one by that name in their organisation.

‘Komiyum’ (bovine urine) and ‘vibuthi’ (turmeric powder) are only used during washing of a new premises before any start of business to signify the cleanliness of the premises. None of the two items are used by Indian eateries in their daily routine.

So it is very naughty and sinister of ‘MJH’ to claim something without cross checking with a reputable organisation like the Malaysian Hindu Sangam. He aimed to create ill-feelings among Malaysians.

I would like to see the political parties claiming to champion Indian Malaysians to lodge a police report against the website Tranungkite.net and this ‘MJH’.

We should get rid of morons like MJH who those who retard the Malaysian march to the year 2020.
