THE Sian Chye Tong Temple was all abuzz as people gathered to express gratitude towards their departed ancestors and loved ones during the temple’s annual Cheow Thor (Filial Piety) celebration.
After final prayers, attention turned to a huge ship known as Say Hong Chun that was created using over 6,000 pieces of ong seng jee (folded joss papers with imprinted Buddhist scriptures).
