Datuk Keramat

Datuk Keramat (Chinese: 拿督科拉邁, Jawi: ‏داتوق كرامة‎‎) is a form of syncretic worship originating in what is now present day Malaysia. This syncretism is practiced in Malaysia and Singapore, as well as along the Strait of Malacca. Related to the worship of Na Tuk Kong, it fuses elements of Malay animism, Chinese folk religion, Shi'a Islam, into a single belief centering around the worship of a Datuk.
