Weird creature!

Hey can any of you regonise this rodent? I saw it at farmart last week. Though it is a rat,but observe carefully its not. The tail is fat and naked,not longer than ordinary rat. The nose is much sharper and pointed than rat. the eys is also small. According to one of the shop owner, she say its the descendant of elephant and 1 more animal. It call " tree shew,chew" something like that.

tree shrews don't have a naked tail and their eyes are fairly large.

That looks like a normal shrew that can be found locally.... locally as in my area in Malaysia.....
