Datuk Kong Shrine, Gurun

Gurun Datuk Kong Shrine (GPS: 5.81738, 100.47831) is a shrine to the local earth spirit. I stumbled upon this shrine when I was exploring Gurun. At the time of my visit, the shrine appeared newly built (or rebuilt). It faces a large statue which I suppose is that of the Datuk Kong, a most unusual thing, as the Datuk Kong is usually not represented with images.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
