On 2 July 1993, the Malaysian politician Datuk Mazlan Idris was reported missing. This date marks the beginning of one of the most sensational and gruesome criminal cases in Malaysian history, involving the pop singer turned bomoh (shaman), Mona Fandey.
Datuk Mazlan, a state assemblyman for Batu Talam, had sought supernatural help from Mona Fandey and her husband, Mohd Affandi Abdul Rahman, to boost his political career.
The Events of July 1993
- The Disappearance: On July 2, Mazlan withdrew approximately RM300,000 from various banks in Kuala Lumpur before traveling to Raub, Pahang, to meet Mona Fandey for a ritual.
- The Murder: During a "cleansing ritual" at a house in Ulu Dong, Mazlan was told to lie on the floor with his eyes closed to wait for "money to fall from the sky." Instead, he was beheaded with an axe.
- The Aftermath: Following the murder, Mona Fandey went on a lavish shopping spree in Kuala Lumpur, purchasing a Mercedes-Benz and undergoing plastic surgery.
