A KERIS with alleged mystical powers was returned to the seller on three occasions over the years after customers reportedly faced unnerving encounters.
Antique dealer Tuan Sharifah Radzieah Tuan Ismail, 38, told Harian Metro that the keris had been with her family-owned store for a very long time and previously belonged to her father.
“It was sold three times and was always returned by the buyers. One customer brought it back within a month, claiming his wife could not sleep after he took it home.
“He was a keris collector and told us that the blade has supernatural qualities and appeared to ‘not want to part’ with my father,” she said.
> Failure to master artificial intelligence (AI) may result in 600,000 workers losing their jobs over the next 10 years, Utusan Malaysia reported.
Universiti Teknologi Mara’s Faculty of Management and Business senior lecturer Dr Shamshul Anaz Kassim said the shift to AI could increase competitiveness in the local workforce through reskilling and upskilling.
He said AI should not be viewed as a threat but an opportunity to raise productivity, competition, and improve the economy.
Shamshul said workers, organisations and the government should be prepared to embrace changes for the development and growth of the country.
“The change might seem painful, but it comes with great benefits for workers and the nation.”
