Traditional pastime
Children lighting up a bamboo cannon after observing "tarawih" prayers at Kampung Sungai Bedil in Kuching, Sarawak. The 1.5m-long cannon is made from bamboo collected from the jungle near the village. The firing of bamboo cannons is a traditional pastime in Sarawak during the fasting month and to welcome the Raya celebration. ZULAZHAR SHEBLEE/ The Star
