Besides praying for a better year ahead this Year of the Wooden Horse, devotees were treated to lion and dragon dance performance and fireworks display.

Guest-of-honour, Y.B. Dato’ Seri Ong Ka Chuan (MCA Secretary-General), was mobbed by the crowd when he distributed ang pow, known as ‘li xi’ (Mandarin) or ‘lucky money’. It is given to extend well-wishes to recipients during Chinese New Year.
