IT HAS not been raining in Malacca for a long spell but residents and visitors to the Portuguese Settlement at Ujong Pasir were soaked to the skin recently when the community celebrated its annual traditional water festival of Intrudo.

The event saw a dousing time at the village with pails of water and even garden hoses used to wet fellow residents, visitors and passers-by, who were caught out on the villages main street.
