Sekinchan Wishing Tree

Sekinchan Wishing Tree (7 July, 2016)


Sekinchan Wishing Tree (GPS: 3.5032, 101.09501) is a tree in Pantai Redang, Sekinchan. Located next to the Pantai Redang Datuk Kong Temple, it became known by that name because it is where believers toss their wishes to its branches.

Ever since the tradition of making wish to the tree was initiated some years ago, the Sekinchan Wishing Tree has been the recipient of thousands of red ribbons, each tied with a devotee's wish, so such as extend that the tree takes on a red colour. A metal disk serves as weight to carry the ribbon as it is tossed. It is not known whether the weight of the ribbons will eventually destroy the tree. Clearly this is not in the minds of the devotees which continue to converge at Pantai Redang, especially on weekends.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
