Over the last 30 years, Kampung Batu 13 has been slowly transformed from an ordinary village of rubber tappers and farmers into a close-knit community that practises its own brand of belief.

Along the way, the village has discreetly risen in prominence for two reasons.

One is the religious philosophy espoused and taught by village head Ayah Pin, 65, who has amalgamated common features of the world's major religions into a philosophy of his own. This has attracted a following from as far as Johor, Kuala Lumpur and Singapore.

The other attraction is the larger-than-life concrete structures built in stages since 1998 featuring, among others, a teapot, vase, crescent moon and umbrella-like tower symbolising the universality of the world's religions. However, these are now slated for demolition.
