Taoism in Sarawak

The sacred places of worship & devotion in Sarawak concentrate on religious places mostly of the Taoist & Buddhist origin; particularly of the local Chinese traditions. Some other interesting & holy places of worship of other faiths may also be included.

The oldest Taoist Temple in Sarawak has a history of 200 years. Two hundreds years ago, an influx of Chinese immigrants from Southern China seeking a better living environment started to headed out to various parts of the world including Borneo Island in South East Asia.

These Southern Chinese brought with them their culture, traditions and skills to the new settlement. Among the first things they did when they settled down on the new land was to build a place of worship to thank their Divine for the long safe journey in the sea, and subsequently to continue the kind of devotion from home, and to provide spiritual supports and protection in the new challenging environment.

The history of Chinese in Sarawak can be observed from the histories of these places of worship & devotion, though the younger generations with batter education are now followers of Buddhism, Christianity and others.

The Oldest Taoist Temple in Sarawak is Tua Pek Kong Temple 古晉大伯公廟 of Kuching City
