MELAKA: The Portuguese community in Melaka observed The Feast of the Assumption - also known as the “Sugarcane Feast” - amidst the absence of the usual large crowd due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Local historian Joseph Sta Maria (pic) said the pandemic had forced the celebration to be a low-key affair with no church service at the Assumption Church along Praya Lane in Bandar Hilir, here on Sunday (Aug 15).
