This year’s Hungry Ghost Festival will be a silent affair due to Covid-19


JOHOR BARU: The Hungry Ghost Festival will be a “silent’ affair this year as performers say it will be their quietest year since entering the industry to entertain both humans and spirits alike.

As the present standard operating procedure (SOP) restricts outdoor mass gathering, temples and organisers have decided not to hold ge tai or stage shows which are typically set up outdoors throughout the Hungry Ghost Festival celebration, also known as Zhong Yuan Festival.
