A muted affair this Thaipusam


KUALA LUMPUR: Unlike the vibrant and colourful celebration of Thaipusam at the famous Batu Caves temple complex of years past, the occasion was marked under a subdued atmosphere this year.

Despite the “new normal” that seemingly subdued the lively Thaipusam spirit, devotees at Batu Caves were cooperative with the authorities and abided by the standard operating procedure (SOP) to curb the spread of Covid-19.
