GEORGE TOWN: After two years of muted affair, the Thnee Kong Seh’s (Jade Emperor) birthday celebration at Chew Jetty in George Town will resume this year.
Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the celebration was a grand feast with jaw-dropping lion dance performances as well as elaborate offerings to the Chinese king of heaven.
“There will be stage performances as well as the prayer ceremony to mark the celebration,” he said at the Chau Yuan Gong Temple in Chew Jetty, Weld Quay, Penang on Saturday . “As most of the residents here are elderly, it would be easier for them to carry out the praying ceremony in front of the temple instead of on the mainroad.To make the celebration a smooth and safe one, Gooi said the road in front of Chew Jetty will be closed from 12.30pm on Jan 29.“At 7pm, the intersection between Gat Lebuh Melayu to Gat Lebuh Chulia will be closed until midnight to ensure the safety of devotees as well as the visitors,” he said.
