Gap in funding

Usually crowded during weekends, Wu Gong Zhen Xian temple in Pontian is largely empty nowadays because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

JOHOR BARU: The Federation of Chinese Temples Associations Malaysia has called on the government to look into the plight faced by houses of worship, as their income has dropped by at least 90% because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Its president Datuk Chong Kim Cheong said Chinese temples nationwide were suffering as they could not hold fundraising events.
