Na Tuk Kong

Na Tuk Kong

Na Tuk Gong are local guardian spirits worshipped by overseas Chinese communities in Malaysia and Singapore. An alternate more generic name for the culture is Datuk Gong, uniting Dato or Datuk from the local Malay word for 'grandfather', which is also used as an honorific title, and Kong or Gong from Chinese, also an honorific title. According to Taoist tradition, a Na Tuk Kong's could hold the official title 拿督尊王. Datuk Keramat, Datuk Gong and Na Tuk Kong all refer to the same deity. For the sake of clarity, the term Datuk, which is universally used to describe the spirit in Malaysia, will be used.
