Galah panjang

Galah panjang is a traditional Malaysian tag game which is played on a long, narrow field.

The attacking team's goal is to cross the field and then return to the starting line to win, while the defending team's players attempt to tag the attackers to eliminate them.

[1] "Galah panjang" means long pole,[2] which refers to the central line that stretches down the court length-wise.

[3] Galah panjang is very similar to the traditional Indian game atya-patya, which was played since at least 300 CE.

[8] Galah panjang is known by different names in different parts of Southeast Asia, such as gobak sodor in Indonesia, patintero in the Philippines,[11] and galah asin in West Java.
