He said several activities have been planned for the celebration, including a float procession in the evening which would start from the Buddhist Maha Vihara Temple and pass through 11 areas, including Jalan Sultan Abdul Samad, Jalan Tun Sambanthan, Jalan Bukit Bintang and Jalan Pudu.“In the previous year, we had around 200,000 people at this temple. As this year’s celebration occurs in the middle of the week, so we are targeting around 50,000.
He said among programmes to be held at the temple are prayers, eight-precept observance, blessing service and blood donation drive. “All Malaysians, regardless of religion and race, as well as foreigners are welcome to join the Wesak Day celebration to enliven the celebration,” he said. — Bernama
