BUKIT MERTAJAM: Ten days of online masses, round-the-clock broadcasting of St Anne’s statue and virtual channels for offerings are being lined up for next month’s St Anne’s Feast.

Held annually with some 100,000 visitors, the celebrations at St Anne’s Church will go fully digital this year owing to crowd control concerns amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
