It would be cool if we had a Malaysian version of snopes.com. I bet we can fill it up with entries like Air Zam-Zam (the commercialized bottled version not the actual water from the well).

Our purpose here at RationalWiki includes:

   1. Analyzing and refuting pseudoscience and the anti-science movement.
   2. Documenting the full range of crank ideas.
   3. Explorations of authoritarianism and fundamentalism.
   4. Analysis and criticism of how these subjects are handled in the media.

so the actual zamzam water got magical powers?

It has "religious powers" and since it deals with Islam I'm not going to talk about it because it might be sensitive to Muslims. But you can have a start by reading about it:

Kerajaan Arab Saudi yang menjaga bumi Hijaz and Mekah melarang air zam daripada dieksport. Air zamzam hanya boleh dibotolkan dan boleh didapati di kebanyakan negara kini. Air zamzam yang dibotolkan ini tidak lagi 100 % tulen, telah dicampurkan dengan air sumber lain atau mungkin telah tercemar.Ada yang mengambil kesempatan dengan menjual pada harga yang tidak munsabah.
