Oil palm plantation
This is a source of employment for the villager, but not everybody wants to work in the oil palm plantation. The villagers whose land are used for the oil plantation company has already earned cash dividends from the oil palm harvest .


Gawai: Rice harvest festival
See historical photos of this festival. With majority of the villagers embracing Catholicism, this festival can no longer be celebrated in the traditional ways as there are not more Gawai religious elders left to lead and organise the Gawai celebration.
