Hungry Ghost Festival

The Tai Su Yeah (King of Hades) image comes in the form of paper effigies but in an environmentally-friendly approach, a temple here has brought in a bronze statue from Quanzhou in China. The 4.5m bronze statue, touted as the tallest in the country, has been brought in for the Hungry Ghost Festival which starts on Tuesday. An eye-dotting ceremony was conducted on the deity at 3 am yesterday at the temple in Jalan Prai Jaya 5 behind Megamall Pinang in Prai. LIM BENG TATT/ The Star
