Shaman to seek ancestors’ help to locate kids

GUA MUSANG: A special ritual will be carried out while rescuers search for seven orang asli children who have gone missing from their school hostel for the sixth day.

Kelantan Orang Asli Youth Village Network chairman Dendi Johari said the community would conduct a sewang (traditional dance) ritual to enlist help from their ancestors to locate the children – six boys and a girl – aged seven to 12 years.
