The Pantun Merry: A Traditional Malaysian Entertainment

Malaysia boasts a unique traditional form of entertainment known as the Pantun, which brings together people of all ages and genders. Men compose humorous quatrains (four-line poems) to challenge women in this traditional Malaysian pastime.

The playful exchange continues as one of the women responds, often with a witty retort. This merry interaction between men and women can continue until dawn and is cherished by Malaysians of all generations.
