KUALA LUMPUR – Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Chinese New Year festivities this year are celebrated in the new normal, with the usually loud affair taking a muted turn due to strict standard operating procedures under the movement control order.
However, not forgetting to offer their thanks, devotees still visit temples to burn incense and pray for blessings and good luck to face the Year of the Ox.
The Thean Hou Temple here is no exception. After being disinfected and sanitised, it welcomes devotees, who stopped by to offer prayers while adhering to lockdown guidelines.
