‘Ghostbusters’ back in action

KOTA BARU: Kelantan religious authorities are going to call some “ghostbusters” to clean up strange things happening in some neighbourhoods.

Also called doktor syaitan by people here, they are well versed in the Quran and draw inspiration from its verses to drive out evil spirits believed to dwell in deviant groups.

It is learnt that some enforcement officers sent out to investigate deviant groups sometimes end up being their followers.

“Perhaps meals or drinks served to the officers were spiked,” Kelantan Islamic Affairs Department director Ab Aziz Ab Rahman told reporters yesterday.
