Description copied From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are many Malay ghost myths (Malay: cerita hantu Melayu ; Jawi: چريتا هنتو ملايو), remnants of old animist beliefs that have been shaped by Hindu-Buddhist cosmology and later Muslim influences, in the modern states of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and among the Malay diaspora in neighbouring Southeast Asian countries. The general word for ghost is hantu, of which there exist a wide variety. Some ghost concepts such as the female vampires pontianak and penanggal are shared throughout the region. While traditional belief doesn't consider all ghosts as necessarily evil, Malaysian popular culture tends to categorise them all as types of evil djinn.
'PONTIANAK'
Pontianak is one of the most spoken of in the Malay folklore. I tried to describe the feeling of a small boy who sees ghosts fly around his house. Organic patterns with dynamic strokes used to reveal more features of Malay art pattern.
'PENANGGAL'
Hantu Penanggal, a malay folklore ghost with a detached female head that is capable of flying on its own. As it flies, the stomach and entrails dangle below it, and these organs twinkle like fireflies as the Penanggalan moves through the night. A Penanggal may be either a beautiful old or young woman who obtained her beauty through the active use of black magic, supernatural, mystical, or paranormal means which are most commonly described in local folklores to be dark or demonic in nature. The combination of Penanggal with a Malay kampong house is to create the feeling of Malay identity.
