That time when Pusaka founder Eddin Khoo took KJ and me to see the proponents of Kelantan's mysterious and fascinating performing arts, like Wayang Kulit, Menora, Mak Yong and Main Puteri

Awesome video. The historical story of Kelantan was interesting. Possible Kelantan could have well developed since bordering withThailand and if wider diversity has been allowed since historical period as it was. Kelantan people also seems to be of diversify race and culture a mix of Thailand, Chinese, Malay & others. Thank you for sharing.

This episode is a fresh air for my merdeka break, reminds me of a trip to Kelantan with my dad 40 years ago, all the way from Johor in a lori balak :) Eddin is a cool guy and you two are lovely travellers. We listen to the same sort of music Chuang, that's a plus ;)

kelantanese dialect from the east side seems to be more understandable than the west side (Jeli, Dabong, Kuala Krai & Gua Musang) is even thicker

ORIGIANAL KELANTAN WAYANG KULIT NOW RUN BY CINA PERANAKAN..... THE MALAY PLAYS THE MODIFICATED TO SUIT iSLAM.

[@amyhelmem]

Not really. Malay Muslim Tok Dalang still play same story and character. Just do not do ritual ceremony before the play.

Very nice on the road Classic Rock tunes, which playlist was it? I assume it was Spotify?

[@khoohsuchuang]

I will certainly not agree with Eddin Khoo on his rebuff of the Chola dynasty. Proper history will tell him that the Majapahit Empire was ruled by the Cholas, a south indian community.2/3 of southeast asia was under the cholas occupation.Many of the Hindu relics are still there to be seen.It will do him a world of good if he concur with a lot of other learned historians to rewrite Malaysian history(for primary and secondary schools) now as the powers-to-be in this country have distorted history

You cannot use the word RULED to describe of how the Indian world expanded outside the Indian subcontinent. Also understanding the notion Indian empire outside the western narrative is important. Eastern religions co-existed, not to say there were no conflict but they co-existed. Eddin is correct to suggest the the Buddha was made by a local as Buddhism would have been the fashionable religion in the region. In the same light there were Hindu/Buddhist Malay Kings who were making advances for territories in Sri Lanka to secure Buddhist Relics. In the 13th Century a Malay king held fort and ruled portions of Sri Lanka for half a century. To Eddin point "Wild, Bastardised, Historically Rich"
