UPDATE 26th January 2010
On 25th January 2010, the High Court ruled that:
- Muhammad Ilyas Abdul Razak, 25 be sent to Hospital Bahagia mental hospital. Forensic psychiatric consultant specialist Dr Rabaiah Mohd Salleh had submitted that he was suffering from bipolar disorder when he committed the offence.
- Muhammad Fauzi Abdul Razak, 23 (his brother) and Muhammad Nizam Mohd Ibrahim, 21 (his cousin) be jailed for 10 years.
That means Muhammad Nizam was guilty of killing his own parents.
All said to be practitioners of Abuya Ashaari, with claims of having the ability to resurrect the dead.
They are responsible for:
- causing the deaths of Mohd Ibrahim Kader Mydin, 48, and Rosina SM Mydin Pillay, 42, at 57C Blok A, Flat Seri Sarawak, Jalan Kenanga on 1st October 2008.
- beating up another 5 family members in a bizarre “cleansing ritual.”
On 10th July 2009, it was revealed in court that other bizarre happenings on that fateful afternoon included:
- everybody seemed to be in a trance and those beaten up did not feel any pain and there was no screaming for help
- Sairah Banu Sultan, 45 was repeatedly slapped by Faezah Abdul Razak, her own daughter, on the orders of Muhammad Ilyas, her own son. During the incident, Muhammad Ilyas called her by her name, not “mother” or anything like that.
- Sofiyah Mohd Ibrahim, 22 was punched in the eyes by her own brother, Muhammad Nizam, on the orders of Muhammad Ilyas. She was later kicked from behind.

ORIGINAL POST: 3rd October 2008
I think of all happenings during the first few days of Hari Raya in the history of Malaysia, nothing was, or will ever be as crazy as this.
It was reported in The Star on 2nd October 2008 that in the morning of the first day of Hari Raya, a family of five, Mohd Ibrahim Kader Mydin, 47, his wife Rosina S.M. Mydin Pillay, 41 and their 3 children, 2 boys aged 19 & 14 and a 21-year old daughter did what everybody would do on Hari Raya: visit relatives.
They went to Ibrahim’s brother’s flat in Kuala Lumpur, where his brother, wife and 4 children aged 8 to 23 were waiting.
Everything was hunky dory until the conversation turned to a dream.
From the newspaper report, I have reconstructed the possible things that could’ve been said:
One of Ibrahim’s nephews, age 23 (let’s call him A): You know, I had a dream recently, where I was told that I have the power to heal other people’s illnesses and problems.
Ibrahim’s brother: Yes, what my son said is really true, I can attest to that.
Ibrahim: Wow, really? As a matter of fact, I am facing some problems in my business. Try your skills on me then.
A: OK. In order for this to work, all of us would have to participate, including the kids.
Ibrahim: No problems, let’s get on to it. So what do we need to do?
A: We’d need to beat each other up with these 2 helmets and these broomsticks.
[stunned silence]
Ibrahim: Ooo… kay. Let’s do it.
WHAM! KAPOW! CRASH!
[At this stage, Ibrahim and Rosina had passed out due to extensive head injuries and 5 others also suffered head injuries, albeit lighter]
[3pm]
Someone: Hey, Ibrahim and Rosina have been lying there motionless for quite some time, don’t you think we should check if they’re OK?
A: Don’t worry, there’s nothing to be worried about, have faith in me. They will wake up soon, feeling better than ever.
[9pm]
A: Errr… I think we’ve waited long enough. Let’s wake them up.
Someone: I think they’re dead.
A: OMG! What have we done? Call an ambulance pronto!
[Medical and police personnel arrived shortly thereafter]
Medic: they’re really dead!
Police: Arrest these 8 people, including these 4 family members.
Aftermath:
- The postmortem results showed that the couple had died from serious head injuries.
- Both families were believed to have recently joined a cult.
- It is claimed that A is mentally ill.
