💨 Abstract

During Eid al-Fitr celebrations in a northern Malaysian village, a decades-old tradition of firing cannons, known as 'meriam talang', is upheld. The cannons were initially used to ward off wild animals and ensure safety. Now made from steel and cobalt, they are fired by the younger generation to celebrate the festivities. The tradition adds excitement to the rare event.
