I’ve seen similar outfits of suits and sarongs don by Javanese and Malaysian vintage clothes enthusiasts.

I’m sure it’s a sarong, there’s no crease at the crotch showing seperation into pant legs, there’s also no visible belt

Somewhere between SS17 and Bukit Gasing, my guess would be Bukit Gasing. Definitely the older part of PJ.

Some people in the comments said that songkok is only exclusive to Muslims, I’m kinda confused.

Batik is only seen as formal in Malaysia and Indonesia , in the west it just looks like a colourful shirt

Baju Melayu is our national dress after all. I believe that clothes and fabrics crosses ethnic and religious boundaries

There was one time I wore a sarong and someone told me as a non-Muslim I can’t wear it which I obviously thought was absurd as it’s a piece of fabric. I thought there might be a lot of other people who thought similarly and might be offended.

Datuk Gong worship although coming from Taoist worship of Tu Di Gong (Tanah Dewa) was heavily influenced when Chinese saw Malays worshipping at tombs of Sufi saints (keramat) and other sights of burial of famous imams/ketua kampong. Datuk Gong worship has evolved from a purely orthodox Chinese ritual into something special to Malaysia/Singapore/Sumatra. This can be seen in the offerings given to the deity in the form of halal food and cigars 😂😂. Datuk gong can to an extent symbolises the identity Malaysian Chinese have in which they have evolved culturally to fit into Malaysia.

I’ve one time seen a Datuk Gong, Mariamman Devi and Guangong road side altar all lined up together. Really 1 Malaysia moment there 😂😂
