Kwee Kia is also known as the toyol in Malay. The closest English translation will be Little Devil, due to its small figure.
The Kwee Kia is powered by a young, angry spirit and is normally ‘adapted’ for supernatural purposes, mostly bad ones.
Like the toyol, Kwee Kia can be used to steal, be it money or other things. It can also be used for minor supernatural threats to scare its owners’ enemies away.
Where IT come from
It is believed that Kwee Kia was actually a dead foetus, removed from its mother’s womb. One can acquire a Kwee Kia by getting it fresh from the grave or by passing IT down from generation to generation, from father to son. Of course, this involves chanting and all but since this is evil, it is not encouraged and it will not be discussed here.
Where does IT ‘live’
The owner will actually have a special altar in the house for the Kwee Kia. There will be a glass tube-like structure, big enough to hold an ugly, overgrown, bloated, not fully developed foetus. Yes! The foetus itself in the house. The dead baby in a tube! Evil!!!
The glass tube is filled with a milky solution, something to preserve the foetus with.
Candles, fruits, food and even toys will be laid before it. These are the necessary offerings. It also includes sweets and candies, anything that a small child would like.
Come Out n Play
It is believed that the Kwee Kia comes out at night to play when everyone else is asleep. It will play with its favourite toy among those offered on the altar. Often, it will make some noise but no one shall disturb it.
Boo IT Away
The Kwee Kia is actually like a small child so the way to chase it away is to ‘scold’ it. Do what you would do to stop the children from playing soccer in your void deck. Is not known though whether or not the ways to prevent the toyol from coming back will work on the Kwee Kia. Since Kwee Kia is allegedly known to be toyol too, these might work for them both.
Some Tips to Share
If you often find your money missing from the drawer, place a small mirror in it. Make it the first thing you see when you open the drawer. Toyols are said to be afraid of their own reflection.
Trap IT. Bait IT. Place some needles beneath your dollar notes. They will cause severe pain to the toyol. They will shriek in pain and by God’s Will, that will be the last time you’ll be ‘hearing’ from them.
One piece of advise, NEVER indulge in the supernatural. Work your way to success, earn it the right way.
