Provider And Protector Of Prosperity

I went to the rice paddies of Malaysia, to symbolize the Datuk’s associations with creating prosperity. Nothing symbolizes health, wealth and prosperity to the Malaysians like a field of rice. Here the Malay Datuk holds a kris (the sacred knife) to protect the land for the benefit of his people. In keeping with the idea of the Datuk as a provider, worshippers ask their Datuk for advice about health, business matters and support for families.
