  1. There is a weak and statistically significant correlation between self-professed awareness of Kedayan calendar and knowledge of Kedayan calendar (r = 0.339, p < 0.05). There is also a very weak and statistically significant correlation between awareness of Kedayan calendar and people recognizing only payama padi as Kedayan month/season (r = 0.199, p < 0.05). The overall results indicate that people answered who expressed self-proficiency in the Kedayan calendar (Q7 and Q8) are not fully aware of Kedayan month/season
