An Intriguing German - Singapore Link

Wahaha, it's been 1 month since i've blogged.

Anyway, I was busy looking up people's feedback on Changi Airport online when I somehow sidetracked and came across something rather intriguing: That there is a Taoist shrine on Pulau Ubin here in Singapore, and it is dedicated to, surprise surprise, a German girl. Singaporeans praying to a German girl! Very interesting indeed.

拿督姑娘 (Dato' Lady)
Schrein des deutschen Mädchen[s]

"拿督"是马来西亚王室封的一种爵位获得这种爵位的都是社会上很有地位的人。

"拿督姑娘" does not mean German Girl. The sign is wrong.
