I saw shen tar once and know some people whom I respect pratice it. I still don't know or truly believe it. Right now, I just try keep an open mind about it. I doubt I would ever engage myself in it.

Da jia ni men hao This news taken from the local newspaper few days ago. Unfortunately it is in bahasa. But in short, it's about a mechanic being shoot at the close range in the chest by a robber, and the bullet only caused a little scratch in his skin. Another Shen Ta? www.poskota.co.id/poskota/headline_contents.asp?id=4963Cheers.

In Borneo, there was once serious killings between Kalimantan and Madurese people. I recall an article in a martial arts magazine about silat fighters who were possesed by 'animal spirits', which made them ultra violent hence the insane killings. (if i recall correctly, the article was about snake style silat?) Also, during this conflict, alot of people were 'possessed' by the spirits of their ancestors, and reverted back to ancient head hunting practices.. (chopping off your opponents head and eating the brains) (Btw i'm from Sarawak)

He says that he fears no weapon except a gun do to his spiritual training. He said that a bullet is it's only weakness ,so i don't see that being possible to only receive a scratch. That is a higher power at work not Shen Da. jeff:)

Like this news about a mechanic who has the power to withstand the close range gun shoot. Shen Ta? I don't know if you read bahasa, but if you can you will be able to follow the story in detail. Cheers.

I read the link, they don't mention what bullet proof skill the mechanic uses? Also, the mechanic is 23 years old!
"Diancam mau ditembak, saya malah menantang. Kalau mau tembak, ya tembak saja" ;D
(Translation: 'Threatened by gun, I don't resist. If you want to shoot, ya just shoot' )
That guy is cool! ;D

The mechanic didn't want to admit what sort of "ability" he has that protected him from close range gun shoot. Btw, thanks for the good translation Cheers.
