This is a ritual to appease the spirit of the sea.

No one believes that the ship would make it but to their surprise, it was dragged to the shore by some unknown force. It was believed that Moyang Getah (Spirit of the rubber) had saved the ship and its passengers from their impending doom. This festival is celebrated on February.

Highlights of the festival:

  2. Special Hari Moyang performance. (Dance and songs to praise the spirit of rubber and other spirits).
