Chingay Festival celebrated on a grand scale in Johor

JOHOR BARU: The Chingay Festival has returned with spectacular fanfare here, attracting local and international visitors.

Some were also seen waiting eagerly along Jalan Wong Ah Fook since 5pm Saturday (Feb 11) to witness the Chingay procession where the five deities of the five main dialect clans - Hokkien, Cantonese, Hainan, Hakka and Teochew - were brought on a “tour” to bless the city and its people.
