Celebrating the 15th Day Of Ramadhan

The Cocos Islander Community had normally celebrated the 15th day of the month of fasting with the making of a kind of sweet cake called 'kueh pasung'. The flour is put into the banana leave and steamed. It looks like a pyramid. This could have symbolize that the community could have some association with Eqypt, where the pyramids are normally found and they are the resting place of the Eqyptian Kings or Pharoah. Some of the Cocos Islander Community had originated from Sumatera and the Egyptian had come to Sumatera in search of the 'kapur barus' or limestone to use for their mummies.
