Religion In Pekan

No matter the size of the town in Malaysia, chances are you're going to find temples for Hindus and Buddhists. A mosque or five. Time to check out what small Pekan has to offer.

Lie Sheng Gong Chinese temple, typical pagoda design.


Tale of two altars. On the left, the one inside Lie Sheng. On the right, a more compact example, wedged into an urban shophouse.

Selection of paper prayer slips. Choose one and throw it into the incinerator.


Hindu time, the town's small Indian temple, all recently painted. One requirement, bright.

Finally, how the dominant (and national) Malaysian religion rolls, the historic Muslim mosque.
