GEORGE TOWN, Jan 29 — Some 1.5 million Hindu devotees and tourists from within the country and abroad are expected to throng Penang next weekend for the annual Thaipusam celebrations.
“We expect a big turnout of 1.5 million devotees for the three days as we expect more people will want to fulfill their vows since it was disrupted for the past two years, so it will be a challenge for us to conduct the festival in the best way. For the golden chariot procession, he said it will start as early as 6am on Feb 4 at Lebuh Queen and is expected to arrive at the Thanneermalai Shree Balathandayuthapani Devasthanam Temple at midnight at the earliest depending on the traffic congestion.
“The best is to follow the rules and do not litter. We have provided enough places to dispose rubbish,” he added.
