Datuk Victor Wee had told us that the Buddha Statue was placed under a special Bodhi Tree that was the offspring of the same Bodhi tree that Buddha had gain enlightenment underneath, located in India. The altar was special too as it has Buddhist relics within it. The specialness of the object radiates a special energy in the room.
