To “jalan-jalan cari Datuk” is admittedly my favourite way to explore Malaysia. Unexpected Datuk stories can be found around corners, down lanes and right in front of us. From joining in prayer at the foot of Bukit Jugra, to admiring the skills of a wood carver, to feeling the reverence of fishermen and tin miners, my experiences with the practice have unveiled a myriad Datuk forms and interpretations.
These images evoke a medley of ideas across cultural boundaries and come together to create the Malaysia we love.
