YAN: Towering over the crowd with its lifelike size and realistic sounds, Awang Kundur – a buffalo sculpture crafted entirely from straw – was the star attraction at the Kedah Straw Carnival 2025 in Kampung Teroi, Guar Chempedak, near here.
The masterpiece, created by the Pengkalan Kundur B4 Area Farmers’ Organisation (PPK), is not just a feast for the eyes but also a nostalgic tribute to traditional farming, when buffaloes were once crucial in ploughing padi fields before modern machinery took over.
