Places of worship 2016
A set of 5 stamps were issued 21 Nov 2016, all 60c, one is Perak Tong cave temple. Unfortunately Pos Malaysia have made mistakes, saying the cave is located in Gunung Rapat (south of Ipoh), whereas it is in Gunung Tasek (north of Ipoh). They have also wrongly named it as Tong Temple: "The Perak Cave Temple, also known as Tong Temple, is a limestone cave temple built in 1926. It is situated in Gunung Rapat....".
