PETALING JAYA: Hari Moyang and Puja Pantai were celebrated in Pulau Carey, Banting again this year after a two-year hiatus following the movement control order to curb the spread of Covid-19.

At the end of each year, the Temuan tribe celebrates Ayik Muyang (Hari Moyang, or Ancestor Day) to honour and express gratitude to their ancestors for a bountiful year, a good harvest and keeping watch over them.
The celebration typically lasts a few days, and in past years, there had been various Hari Moyang events that were opened to the public.
But with the pandemic this year, part of the celebration will be shared online instead.
