Two unfinished Gasing.

Gasing pangkah is a competitive Malay game of spinning tops in which two or more players compete to strike each other's top out of a circle or to make it fall over and stop spinning.[1]

Considered part of the Malay state heritage, official tournaments are held, with a declared goal of exposing the younger generation to the game.[2]

The game is also popular in neighboring Brunei, and in 2013, a gasing pangkah tournament was held as part of the celebrations of the 67th birthday of the Sultan of Brunei.[3]
