Eleven trailers worth of rice straw – 88,000kg – from Pasir Panjang, Sekinchan, Selangor have been unloaded at Padang Merbok in Kuala Lumpur.

Did we mention there will also be scarecrows and torches as part of this outdoor performance?

The staging of Muzika Uda Dan Dara, a canonical Malay theatre piece, at Padang Merbok’s open field is all set to roll on Oct 25 and 26.
