Tua Pek Kong (Chinese: 大伯公; Tâi-lô: Tuā-peh-kong) is a Taoist deity in the pantheon of Peranakan folk religion practiced by ethnic Chinese in Malaysia, Singapore, and parts of Indonesia.[1]
Throughout Southeast Asia, Tua Pek Kong is referred as the "God of Prosperity",[2] where he is thought to be an incarnation of the god "Fu" from the trio of "Fu Lu Shou" representing "Prosperity, Fortune and Longevity" or a sailor from Fujian who sacrificed himself for a fellow human.[3]
