A most beutiful video from youtube.com:
"In the Malay Peninsula...a cross between football and volleyball called Sepak Raga was played with a light rattan ball. It has recently been formalized and modernized as Sepak Takraw - a compromise between the Malay word for kick and the Thai word for ball - but its roots are at least a few hundred years old and derive from its Chinese counterpart [Cuju]."
