Kelah is a fish from the genus Tor. The general name of 'mahseer' (Indian for 'big head') is popularly used. In the nothern parts of India, mahseer is also called 'kurriah' or 'kukhiah' is called 'kajra'.
There is high possibility that the anme of kelah is derived from these terms. After all, the Hindu civilisation was the earliest to entrench itself in the Malay Peninsula. |
"There he stood, the Mahseer off the Poonch, beside whom the Tarpon is a Herring and he who catches him can say he is a fisherman"

"We're all occupants on this fragile planet and neighbours with nature. If we fail to realise how we have been blessed with this land, blessed with our oceans and with rivers rich with life and if we don't take care of it, the consequences will be staggering. So let's do our part and preserve nature as God intended."
