Kampung Mong Gajah, Kampung Pokka and Kampung Jeram Tok Tekai,” , rest of the villagers were relocated to either Kuala Nerang or Sik. Residents said the biggest village in the largest water reservoir in Kedah – Tasik Pedu – was known as Kampung Mong Gajah. According to folklore, the phrase “Mong Gajah” is from a local dialect, and it means gajah minum (elephant drinks), and during every prolonged drought, the submerged old graves would reappear, but not all, of the graves were relocated, as some villagers wanted the graves of their loved ones to remain there.
