He quitted school at 15 and start to work at the wholesale market assistant in Jalan Tun Ismail for a year. It was then that he became exposed to the underworld and joined Gang His first armed robbery was on April 19, After obtaining his first gun, a 0.
Out of that sum, a portion of that RM25, was used to buy a Datsun car. His next hit-list , a Chinese temple in Jalan Kolam Ayer where several mahjong players were gunned down and the gang grabbed RM10, Kulasingam who was first attempt was on Nov 22, He had stopped at a traffic light junction while driving alone when 11 shots were fired at him. One of the bullets shattered his right rib, piercing his liver, and grazed his lungs.
Being low on ammo, Botak Chin targeted policemen to bolster his ammo supply. He took three pistols belonging to three policemen during a robbery in Sentul. On Oct 26, , he gunned down a security guard delivering money to a horse racing club, and escaped with RM, He then became involved in a war with another gang. The gangster successfully eluded capture numerous times, surviving and escaping from gun battles with the police.
In one incident in Segambut Dalam, his car was riddled with bullets and he managed to slip away unharmed into the squatter area. This led to many rumours claiming that his talisman made him invulnerable to bullets and knives, and enabled him to escape unseen.
Eventually, the police set up a man task force with the specific objective of apprehending him. On Feb 16, , the gangster was shot 6 times by police at a sawmill in Jalan Ipohbut miraculously he survived the shooting but was taken into custody according to saying, he left home without his talisman that day; another story had it that the police approached the medium who issued the Phra Pidta amulet to Botak Chin for help.
He was put on trial again in April 1, This time, he tried to glorify himself as a modern day Robin Hood who robbed from the rich and gave to the poor. On Jan 1,, he made a desperate escape attempt from his death row cell at Pudu prison, stabbing three warders. He was unsuccessful, and was seriously injured in the process.
On June 11, , at 3am, Botak Chin was hanged. He was only 28 then. His dying wish was to donate his organs for medical purposes but was rejected as he had not signed a written consent. It was believed this was because of the power brought by the Tok Raja Pidtta. Pidttas are known to provide great protection, avoid danger and the ability to run off from your enemy Pidtta used 2 hands to close eyes and face. The judger denied his request but promised to return him his Pidtta after it is confirmed that he is really dead.
After this high-profile incident of abuse, Tok Raja did not like to give out Pidtta amulets to the public. He did not want the public to abuse the power of this amulet. Tok Raja thus only gave the Pidtta amulet to whom he trusted. This remained so until Tok Raja passed away. He was sent to Wat Uttamaram by his parents when he was 12 years old to learn Buddhism and Thai language. He stayed with Archan Lok who was the temple Chief Abbot at that time.
Besides, he also learned crafting and construction. He once told the devotees that even from an early age, he cherished the ambition of joining the monk hood and stay in the temple to learn Buddhism unlike his other kampung village boys of the same age who more preferred to stay in their homes in the kampung. Tok Raja joined monkhood Bhikkhu on Jun 15, when he was 21 years old.
The ordination took place at Wat Uttamaram and was ordained by the following monks:. After becoming a monk, he stayed at Wat Uttamatam for two phansa after that he travelled to Southern Thailand to learn Pali language and at that time is known as the big book.
Tok was resided at Wat huaphom Nai in Songkhla and learn Buddhism in greater depth. He taught Vippassana meditation and ubasok ubasika Buddhaborisat to the kampung folks Buddhist fundamentals as well as Vertmon Katha to his pupils. He worked very hard in order to expand the knowledge skills to devotees in Kelantan but did not meet his expectation since the Society at that time did not realise the importance of education and as such, was unable to achieve his mission to the fullness.
In early year of BE , Thai Buddhism has spread out of the country especially to the neighbouring country like Malaya. Malaysia was formerly known as Malaya. In that year, the first Naktham school was established in the Kedah state of Malaya.
Tok has waited for the opportunity to open up such school for long time and has establish the same Naktham school in the year BE and the first school was established in Wat Uttamaram Bangsek itself. Even though there was a shortage in teaching resources, there was a huge demand from monks all over Kelantan to study at Wat Uttamaram to seek knowledge and learn Naktham where the expenses incurred were manageable.
It was not easy to go to Wat Uttamaram at that time where it took hours to reach by walking through the jungle. Such obstacles did not prevent these pupil monks from reaching the Wat and in the same year as it was established, the first Naktham examination was held at Wat Uttamaram in Kelantan.
Tok Raja spent his non-meditation hours in research into ancient and forgotten manuscripts which revealed ceremonies and prayers for every occasion.
He made searching enquiries into information gleaned from his readings. He never considered unlikely or as far-fetched the stories he had read or heard of how and where priceless documents had been hidden in times of peril.
