Harian Metro reported that a woman in Sungai Petani asked her husband for a divorce after she was given a bottle of 'magic potion' by a bomoh to improve her business.

Aini, who is in her 40s, said she was given the water, over which the bomoh had recited some prayers, and told to return for more.

The woman said she kept returning to the bomoh's house as if she 'missed' him, and would even consent to having him massage her nude body.

She claimed that she was so 'hooked' onto the potion that she began to neglect her responsibilities.

Her husband ' known only as Hussin ' said that he confronted the bomoh, who advised him to divorce Aini as she no longer loved him.

'I had a parang with me then and was about to kill him. Thank goodness, I came to my senses,' he said, adding that after consulting several religious men in Kulim, it was confirmed that his wife had been under the charm of black magic.
