Common sense approach to deal with a fake medium

I chanced upon the article below, because of its unusual title, and more so, in a site like Loyarburok where we would expect mainly legal discourse.

June Low's experience reminds me of my encounter with a 'mun mai' (Cantonese for a medium who can communicate with spirits, especially of ancestors) when a niece's in-laws wanted to find out more about their late mother and a brother.

My niece heard about this 'Pak Yee' (white clothed) medium in Ipoh and we sourced out the place and telephone numbers for her to make an appointment.

On the appointed day, we went together but we sat outside a fenced enclosure where we could see and hear what was going on.

The medium asked many questions but I could tell they were meant to source information. When asked questions, she tended to be evasive like, 'I do not talk about those who did not come', 'this session is so important that every family member should attend', etc. After much questions which did not elicit satisfactory answers, my niece's sister-in-law posed a question about her eldest brother. The answer given by the medium was so obvious that she did not know that he died some time ago! What was expected was some connection between the dead mother and her dead son, but there was none at all!
