"We have been working with them very closely since I was appointed chairman and have had several meetings to discuss how to coordinate the chariot procession.

He was responding to the proposal by Nattukotai temple committee chairman Dr A. Narayanan to have a single chariot procession.
During the procession this year on Feb 4, the golden chariot left the Sri Maha Mariamman Temple in Lebuh Queen at about 6.30am, while the silver chariot left the "kovil veedu" in Lebuh Penang at 7.50am.
