Part 1 of 2 | Part 2 of 2

One of the most popular cures he has been selling over the last 30 years is the bark for jaundice or yellow problem.

Haji Suni demonstrated his cure by soaking a special leaf in water for several days. And the resultant liquid is his eye lotion.

Although over 100 years old now, he doesn’t need glasses — his eyesight is still very good and he has no problems reading.

He said in this modern time, the government had brought a lot of progress to the people. And he is happy to see that with better transportation and greater wealth now, his patients are able to drive to his house in Lambir.
