BUDDHIST temples, associations and units in Penang, are putting the finishing touches to their colourful floats for the Wesak Day procession today.

At the Malaysian Buddhist Association (MBA) premises in Burmah Road, the main float bearing a 3m-tall statue of Buddha was beautifully decorated with thousands of flowers donated by devotees.
