teks: Bomoh Siam is known as one of the most powerful sorcerers in Malaysia, as well as in Singapore and Hong Kong. However, the way they are portrayed in Malaysian films doesn't really resemble the traditional Siamese bomoh. There is a movie starring Faizal Hussein that has a storyline related to Kumanthong/Anak Kerak/Anak Emas, but their worship style and sacred places are more similar to Malaysian bomohs. In the movie Dendam Sarakit, which stars Fauziah Gous, there is a Siamese bomoh, but there is no tall altar like in the Thai movie Long Khong. Is this portrayal done to avoid being accused of racism? Please discuss.
