Ibrahim Mat Zin courted international stardom when he attempted to track the missing MAS aircraft MH370 with a pair of bamboo binoculars and coconuts.

His antics at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) had left Malaysian authorities red-faced.

Since then, the self-styled "raja bomoh" or "king of shamans" has appeared at various places, including outside the Sungai Buloh prison, where he performed a ritual to protect incarcerated former opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim.

However, Ibrahim has repented and apologised to all Malaysians, both Muslims and non-Muslims, for his stunts.

The 66-year-old, who is often decked in a suit, also claimed that certain individuals, whom he cannot name, had ordered him to perform the rituals.
