Once in 1976 a group of us were conversing with Mahan in the hall of the Sabhai in Klang road. Suddenly Mahan went to his room and slammed the door which jolted all us. We wondering why this reaction from Mahan when suddenly a infamous 'Bomoh'[magician] made his appearance there and said he wanted to meet Mahan. I went to Mahans room to inform of this person. Mahan asked to bring him in. After about 15 minutes or so the guy left. Then a month later we received info that this magician has been murdered and both his wisdom tooth has been roughly extracted. Mahan has sensed some negativity and to difuse it he slammed the door. Mahan's technique of equalizing negative situation.
