SEA' s largest Reclining Buddha is in Kelantan

The largest statue of Reclining Buddha is Southeast Asia is located and preserved not in Lee Kuan Yew's Chinese-predominated Singapore but Nik Aziz's Malay-majority Kelantan. Tok Guru Nik Aziz is, of course, a top leader of the multiethnic Islamic opposition party PAS. Under Tok Guru's rule, Chinese-language primary and secondary schools are treated fairly by the state government in terms of grants, including land grants.

Tok Guru, a man who leads a simple lifestyle unimaginable to Umno leaders and whose personal integrity is of high order, also makes it a point to attend to grace Chinese New Year or Wesak Day gatherings with the noble objective of promoting inter-ethnic harmony and mutual respect between followers of different faiths.
