Tok Bomoh (village doctor)

In almost every Malay village or settlement, there is a doctor called Tok Bomoh. Of course the village doctor or Tok Bomoh is not trained in Western medicine. The Tok Bomoh practices folk medicine and sometimes adds in witchcraft and chants. The use of smoke and genies (jin) will render the Tok Bomoh's practices as unIslamic but patients are often unsuspecting and will believe every word of the Tok Bomoh. Some Tok Bomohs are good while others are quacks. Quack or not, the lay uneducated patient can never tell apart so the Tok Bomoh business thrives in Malaysia and the region. 
The sessions I have observed are not described in medical textbooks and students will need to see Tok Bomoh practices first-hand. Most Tok Bomohs are male doctors. Female village doctors are called bidan and attend to mothers and their newborns and sometimes even toddlers and pre-schoolers.

Main Puteri (playing princess)

This is a popular trance that Kelantan mothers often choose to participate in at some point in the post-partum phase, soon after delivery while still in the hospital ward. The mother enters into a trance, believing that she is a princess and behaves as one. She actually yearns for attention. As such she enjoys being in centre stage for awhile, enthralled with all the bright light and loud percussion. She speaks to a medium. The medium sings anything, can be flattering her as a princess. Music is from an ensemble of gongs, cymbals, and drums, sounding much like a Buddhist ritual. Usually doctors will allow their patients to participate in Main Puteri, either in an unused section of the ward or outside the ward. But patient safety needs to be taken care of, as Main Puteri is performed a day or two post delivery where the mother is still bleeding profusely and she may not be aware that danger surrounds her all the time whilst still undergoing post-partum convalescence.


Main Puteri

Interlude: Malay songs

Here is a favourite Malay song which is played in almost all flights operated by the Malaysian Airlines Systems (MAS). It invokes the spirit of a lovely country called Malaysia. I hope that you will like this song and other similar songs that Malaysians hold close to their hearts. I grew up listening to these songs, I danced to these songs, I choreographed for songs of this type for many organisations overseas. They have a very good effect on the heart. These songs reduce anxiety, keep the heart strong and happy and maybe too, add to longevity.

Susunan Keutamaan Darjah Kebesaran Negeri Kelantan

In Kelantan, the royal ceremony for awards bestowed to royals and public administrators is held at the Istana Balai Besar (palace with a big hall) in Kota Bharu. The Sultan of Kelantan gives away the awards.

In 2010 and before 2010, before Sultan Ismail Petra suffered a stroke in 2009/2010, the award ceremonies used to be held on 30-31 March. His heir Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra was Acting Sultan and continued the tradition in March 2010 (for the last time). When Tengku Faris Petra succeeded his father as Sultan Muhammad V, he changed the award ceremony date to 11-12 November in 2011. From then on the award ceremony was held on 11-12 November as in 2012.

The reasons for visiting and reading the above pages and other pages are unknown to me. I made these pages on this blog as notes for preparing to write my proposed book (TEMD). It is easier to search my own notes online in this blog rather than my hardcopy diaries. I thought to share my notes with you in case you may find them useful. Some of my previous notes from 2002 are on another server belonging to USM. I don't know who my readers are nor have I stopped to think to run a survey to find out. I will in due time and when that becomes necessary. Some of you maybe students. Others maybe researchers like me. Some of you maybe retired government staff who have worked in hospitals. Some of you maybe medical practitioners, retired or still practising. Some of you maybe related to the doctors and clan members. I'm not a historian nor a medical practitioner but just a professor of two fields - biochemistry and medical IT. I teach most times. When I'm not teaching then I'm writing for my proposed book (TEMD) and this blog. I have 34 blogs to date. I don't limit my learning and writing to just medicine and history of medicine. I like languages and music a lot too. I'm also a designer of family homes and I renovate homes for the sake of creativity. I like meeting people and when my proposed book is almost ready to hit market, I will try and arrange to meet with all my readers. Some of you have become my crazy fans and lifetime friends with countless e-mails, phone calls and SMS. I want to thank everyone for your interest in my proposed book, myself, my career, my life, my family and this blog. I love you all.

Thank you for visiting this blog.

My comments & highlights
Content is more inclined towards the interaction between the early Christian missionaries to mainland China and its lesser lands. There are quite a number of interesting anecdotes which make reading more pleasant (and later for teaching) of otherwise a boring subject. A detailed account of the plague and the significant role of Dr Wu Lien-Teh are provided but readers can read more detailed accounts elsewhere and in other publications. Most topics are regular topics in my first-year class, "History of Medicine" where we touch on Traditional and Complementary Chinese Medicine. The black hardcover book is small and easy to hold for reading.

Kementerian Kesihatan juga turut memainkan peranan dalam pemulihan isu-isu sosial serta pembangunan masyarakat, maka Jabatan Kebajikan Masyarakat telah ditempatkan di bawah Kementerian Kesihatan dalam dua tempoh yang berasingan iaitu dari tahun 1956 hingga 1957 dan 1960 hingga 1962. Semasa tempoh pergabungan tersebut, Kementerian dikenali sebagai Kementerian Kesihatan dan Kebajikan Masyarakat dengan menteri pertamanya ialah B. Dato' V.T. Sambanthan (1957 - 1959). Namun bermula dari tahun 1963 Kementerian ditukarkan semula kepada nama asal iaitu Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia dengan menteri ke empat iaitu Y.B. En Abdul Rahman Talib (1962 - 1964) yang mana nama tersebut terus kekal sehingga sekarang.
