"The King and the people are fond of games, of amusements or ecercise; they have other plays which are less frequent, as wrestling or boxing, combats of cocks, little fishes or of two serpents. They have a play with a kind of magic lantern which is called nang, from the leather which is used; it is a dangerous game because of the swords, daggers and javelins, with which the rope and dancers are armed." - Singapore Free Press & Mercantile Advertiser
