Old people was practiced a various of customs in the superstitions belief. Where the faith is specifically made for a particular rule among the Malays people or in other community.
There are some common superstitions as we always hear, young ladies should not singing while cooking because they will asking for aged husband. But despite the truth, When they are singing and not paying attention to cooking at the same time, might mix up and end up doing some kind of awful tasting dish or accidentally cause fire. That is why they not allowed to do so.
For kid, do not open an umbrella at home because A snake would came out from the inner centre of the umbrella. But the truly is to prevent someone from getting a poked-eye. The kid under the umbrella may accidentally use the tip of the umbrella to poke someone's eye behind him.
Beside that, we are not allowed to sit on the pillows to prevent from our backside would be swell. Well, pillows are for our heads, surely it will damage if we were sit on the pillow. When the pillow is damage at all it not comfortable like before.
The common superstitious sounds like if you accidentally bite your tongue, it means that someone is speaking ill of you. But for me this showing that we should eat properly and slowly seems to be more polite and the food does not spill from plate.
Currently for muslim believe that they are not supposed to play outdoors especially for kids during Maghrib (during sunset). Because around that time is the time when there are the most ghosts wandering around and for ghost during sunset is a morning for them.
Generally, I do not trust in whatever superstitions comes, whether from others religion like Buddhist, Indian or Chinese. We should be very particular on what we do. In my opinion, most of the superstitions is such like a rules that include the thing that we should do or do not do it.
