KUALA LUMPUR: Efforts are being made to set a world record by gathering 1,000 people from different races to participate in the Peoples Ponggal 2004, which is being staged in conjunction with the festival celebrated by the Indian community.
Organising chairman P. Kamalanathan said the participants would need to cook rice in an earthen pot at the SRJK (T) Rawang on Jan 15. This follows a tradition practised by the Tamil farming community for more than 5,000 years.
