Chinese Influence on Modern Malaysia | Americans Journey to a Buddhist Temple 🇲🇾 [SE E59]
Рет қаралды 9,820
25 күн бұрынOne thing that we’ve discovered while be in Malaysia is that Malaysians are an extremely diverse group of people. Besides the ethnic Malay, Indian, and indigenous Dayak groups, Chinese immigrants have had a huge impact on the country.
So as we ride our KTM 250 Adventure motorcycle across East Malaysia, we discover the extent of the Chinese influence in Sarawak. And as a stunning and fascinating back drop to our explorations, we visit one of the largest Chinese Buddhist temples in Southeast Asia.

Chinese arrived in "nanyang" 600 years ago. Chinese junk reached terengganu in 14xx. There was no malaysia then. China called this part of the world "nanyang". They then set sail reaching the famous port of melaka. Therefore straits of melaka was used for the name of the straits.

another great adventure guys! Mukah is the cultural heartland of Melanau ethnic group and were formally Animists (some elders still are 😅). they still have spooky remnants of the Totem/burial poles etc. small suggestion tho, perhaps you can also show more interactions with the locals eg ordering meals, asking for directions or just some random conversations 😁

It was cool to see the folks waving to you from the window of the hotel. I would do that too if I saw you. Encountering the two celebrities from 2Up and Overloaded warrants a hearty wave like that. Peace from Eric , here in Connecticut. (precipitation, frustration, meditation, sensation, alienation, nation, celebration...) Was this helpful? By the way will you be touring in the U.S.?

Mukah! Last I was there was in the early 90s... Majority ethnic there is the Melanau people. Shame that you didn't check out the Melanau village... 13:12 I think that fish is riverine fish so you wouldn't come across it if you were snorkeling in the sea. I love that coastal road... and the ferries... They wouldn't be there probably by next year... The bridges would soon be completed.

The temple has never been described as "Buddhist", has only a token representation of indigenous "Buddhism", is predominantly "Taoist". Then again, it has never been used for mass worship of either Buddhism or Taoism. You can't even get anyone to teach you anything about the rituals for the worship of either. There's hardly anyone who visits the place. The person who collected the funds for the building (one of several in Sarawak) is a local fortune-teller with his own cult. He is called the "Sun Deity"... Praise be, Alhamdulilah, and Amen! Oh! Beam me up too..!
