Heritage walkabout

TWENTY people, mostly tourists, got a feel of Malaysia’s multi-religious community during a recent walkabout in George Town, Penang.

They were taken to places of worship of four different faiths during the World Religions Walkabout held in conjunction with the Penang Global Ethic project, sponsored by the Malaysian Interfaith Network and Konrad Adenauer Foundation.

Led by a heritage guide, the participants visited a mosque, a Catholic church, an Anglican church, a Buddhist temple and a Hindu temple along Farquhar Street and Jalan Mesjid Kapitan Keling.

Jalan Mesjid Kapitan Keling is sometimes called the “street of harmony” since the places of worships of four major religions are along the road.

The free tour started from the Penang Town Hall at the Esplanade and lasted two-and-a-half hours.

Penang Heritage Trust (PHT) office manager Magdeline Ng-Leong said the walkabout focused on the sharing of knowledge about the history and values represented by landmarks and places of worships.

There will be other walkabouts today at 9am and on Wednesday.

For details and registration, call the Penang Heritage Trust (04-2642631).
