Shady meeting point steeped in history


The Eng Ann Teng Tua Peh Kong Temple in Sibu.

A 15m-tall raintree at the Sibu Eng Ann Teng Tua Pek Kong Temple was an important meeting place for either official or non-official matters in the early days.

Temple historian Chua Chong Hieng said the raintree acted like a post office in the early 1950s.
