Wau is the traditional Malaysian term for kite/s, and is one of Malaysia’s national symbols of favorite past times. It is intricately designed with colorful flower motives and, was historically used by farmers as scarecrows to protect their crops. The sounds of the flying kites also acted as lullabies to put their small children to sleep, therefore gave the farmers ample time to tend to their crops without distractions. These kites would be flown by the farmers during their spare time after harvesting season is over. These kites are normally found in the east-coast states of Kelantan and Trengganu, and sometimes the northern states of Kedah and Perlis...
