It is believed that a large and powerful creature who lives in the sky will be upset if they do evil and they will get disaster.


PENUNGGU

Temiar believes that places like pools, cascades, bays, caves, hills and mountains have the guardian. These places should be avoided and should not be disturbed. They are forbidden to criticize or say something in that place because they will be disturbed by the guardian of that place especially for the faint-hearted.


KAYU MERBAU

They believe that the core of merbau can hit and it might probably hit anyone that passing by there. Especially at dawn, sunset and during a hot day which there was a rainbow.


PANTANG HARIMAU

The meeting between two men who had promised to meet, the promise should be fulfilled. If one they break the promise, "Harimau Jelmaan" would come to disturb him.


FOREST FRUITS

Fruits in the forest must be harvested in a season with a ceremony which all people joined together to make a feast. If they break this rule, they will be disturbed by a tiger.
