THE Goddess of Mercy Temple in Penang is upping the amount of aid for the needy this Chinese New Year.

The annual giving of ang pows to the elderly and the poor saw a good deal more smiles this time because instead of the customary RM20 in every red packet, the temple’s board of trustees gave RM30.
