We can visualise the locations of masjids across Brunei Below is an example where the masjids are overlaid on Brunei’s kampong boundaries:

ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = kpg_sf, fill = NA) +
  geom_point(data = masjid, aes(latitude, longitude), inherit.aes = FALSE) +
  theme_bw()
#> Warning: Removed 24 rows containing missing values or values outside the scale range
#> (`geom_point()`).
