Malaysiakini's visit to Kampung Paya Buloh supports the Nanban report.
More interestingly, the boy's father, who wants to only be known as Periamalai, said that the chicken curry which Mohd Ali claimed was in their pot, was in fact biawak (monitor lizard) caught by their pet dog.

"We catch biawak several times a week. We don't really eat chicken as we don't have a taste for it," said the 47-year-old.
Indian areas heavily-guarded
The rice Mohd Ali saw, he added, was donated by someone, and that once or twice a week the family goes to bed with rumbling stomachs after downing some porridge, and on really bad days, only water.
Periamalai, who claims to be unable to do heavy manual labour after he was slashed in a fight while his wife is under medication for severe asthma, earns about RM50 day doing odd jobs... that is if he is working.
"Yesterday I worked, today I'm not working, I might be working the day after tomorrow... People can help if they want but I will not beg money from people.

Sesekali...
Sesekali - ingin kutanya: Apakah salah jika doanya begini: Apa tidak mungkin yang namanya pilihan raya itu, lebih kerap berulang ― biar lebih banyak cerita Perimalai , diketahui rakyat, biar periuk belanganya segala Perimalai lebih kerap berasap.
Tuhan, apakah berdosa doa sedemikian?
Sesekali, ingin sekali segala emas bukhara, timbunan wang kertas, bond, sijil dan syer yang segala macam dalam pelbagai gedung-peti besi itu, tiba-tiba saja disumpah menjadi duit Jepun cap daun pisang, tisu tandas, surat-surat khabar lama ― biar mereka yang kekayaannya begitu sekali melucahkan itu, dapat merasakan ― betapa perih pedihnya, ‘tidur’ tatkala perut lagi keroncongan.
Tuhan, apakah berdosa ― mendoakan musibah sedemikian?
Sesekali, ingin kuajak segala orang besar-besar yang jenakanya termasuk kesengsaraan para marhaen itu, tiba-tiba saja berkaki empat, lalu merangkah-rangkak. Biarlah para orang besar ini juga tahu dan sadar, bagaimana jika mereka semua ― disumpah menjadi biawak...
