MELAKA: There has been no yee sang toast this year for businessman Low Meng Siong after he decided to go on a two-week fasting period during Chinese New Year in a bid to continue his tradition of pulling the gold-plated chariot at the Sannayasi Andavar Temple in Cheng here.

The 40-year-old made heads turn during the annual “Masi Magan” festival at the temple when he pulled the 300kg chariot of Lord Muruga for 1km to the temple ground with 24 large hooks pierced on his back late on Monday night (Feb 18).
