On the 28th February 2025, Channel News Asia has a Visual Stories article, an article told through photos, titled, “Connecting with ancestral spirits, Malaysia’s indigenous Mah Meri tribe keeps 200-year-old tradition alive”, an article by Fadza Ishak.

In a world before Google, YouTube, Instagram, the National Geographic photos was the rare doorway into another world. So today’s article, with all the photos that accompany the text, brings back a big dose of nostalgia.
The 200 year old tradition is the Hari Moyang or Ancestor’s Day.
And today in the Daily Monsoon, I, Terence, will have a look at what Hari Moyang, a tradition practised by non-Christians, can mean for Christians.
