THE RM3mil golden chariot successfully completed its first trial run for Thaipusam in about two hours through George Town in the presence of a large throng of devotees seeing it for the first time.

More than 30 devotees pulled the 1.6-tonne chariot for 3km, rolling along rubberised golden wheels, after a delay of two hours.
