===Symbols=== The commune features some structures which are symbolic of the group's ideology. Some notable symbols include a two-story high cream coloured teapot<ref name=mkini>{{cite web|publisher=Malaysiakini.com|url=http://www.malaysiakini.com/pages/ayah_pin/|title=Ayah Pin's Sky Kingdom (gallery)|author=Theophilus, Claudia|accessdate=26 December 2007}}</ref> with a similarly-sized blue vase, costing [[Malaysian ringgit|RM]] 45 million. The teapot is said to symbolise the purity of water and "love pouring from heaven". It is the earthly model of a celestial prototype. According to Ayah Pin, it was inspired by the dreams of one of his followers, and reflects a similar vessel in the sky which God uses to shower his blessings on mankind.<ref name=smh>{{cite news|publisher=Sydney Morning Herald|url=http://www.religionnewsblog.com/10448/sect-where-blessings-pour-from-a-teapot|title=Sect where blessings pour from a teapot|date=5 March 2005|accessdate=26 December 2007}}</ref> Followers who visit the commune for the first time have to drink holy water from the vase which is perpetually filled by the teapot.<ref name="smh" /> Another notable feature in the compound is an equally large yellow umbrella,<ref name="mkini" /> which offers "a place for people to take shelter beneath God." It is said that this can also be associated with the nine planets in Hinduism."<ref name=apologetics>{{cite web|url=https://www.apologeticsindex.org/s/s53.html|title=Sky Kingdom|accessdate=26 December 2007}}</ref> Other symbols present include an ornamental fishing boat,<ref name="mkini" /> identified with [[Noah's Ark]], and a crescent moon icon<ref name="mkini" /> symbolising people without a religion, including the [[Orang Asli]] (indigenous peoples of peninsular Malaysia) and the aforementioned [[Orang Bunian]].<ref name="apologetics" />
