On October 1, 2006 Sikh Sangat News reported, "The Sikh community in Malaysia will get to see some rare artefacts related to the 10th Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj, in a series of exhibitions in Gurdwaras across the country. The first of these exhibitions started on Saturday at the Gurdwara Sahib Bercham in Ipoh, capital of the Malaysian state of Perak, according to the New Straits Times. On display are 12 relics including a turban, knee-length shorts called a kacheraa, a pair of wooden sandals and a wooden chair used by the Guru... Also on display is a 300-year-old handwritten Saroop of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj. Sikhs were first brought to Malaysia from India by the British rulers to serve as policemen in Perak and Penang. Many others followed later. Today the community numbers around 100,000 in Malaysia."
