TO commemorate the Year of the Snake, a massive 210m-long table featured yee sang arranged in serpentine curves at Tow Boo Keong Temple in Jalan Raja Uda, Butterworth, Penang.

At 9.15pm, there were shouts of “Heng ah! Ong ah! Huat ah!” (meaning fortune, luck and wealth in Hokkien), and participants tossed the ‘snaky’ yee sang to symbolise a rising fortune.
