Na Tuk Kong (Chinese: 拿督公, Pinyin: Na Du Gong)




Na Tuk Kong (Chinese: 拿督公, Pinyin: Na Du Gong) are local guardian spirits in Malaysia. One derivation of the name unites Dato or Datuk from the local Malay word for 'grandfather'Worshippers can place offerings of shredded tobacco, areca nut flakes, betel leaves with lime paste and fruits. Strictly no pork, beer, wine and alcoholic products (due to the Islamic nature of the Datos, although Datos has been incorporated into the local Chinese belief system, which has nothing to do with the Islamic religion whatsoever).
