Answer 7

I'm not quite sure of it's Malay name (but I'm sure someone here will help you)

It was interesting to read just now that an alternative name for it is 'Devil's Dung' (poo poo) because of it's "foul smell," but it's used a lot in India because it is known to "prevent and alleviate smelly flatulence" (farts)

....how strange is that?.....
