English: rain with sunshine - An old Bidayuh superstitious belief says that if you venture out or get caught in this rain, you will meet a tall ghost, fall ill and die if not treated by the shaman. Another version says that you will get caught in a net set by the tall ghost which usually appears in this type of rainy weather. The effect is the same.
