GEORGE TOWN: Penang's economy is expected to remain stable in the coming year, according to predictions from the Tua Pek Kong deity during the annual Chneah Hoay or flame-watching ceremony at the Thai Pak Koong Temple in Tanjung Tokong.
Lim Hooi Kooi, president of the Poh Hock Seah society, which oversees temple activities, described the first flame ignited at 12.03am as "average." The second and third flames, appearing at 12.04am and 12.05am respectively, were both deemed "fair."
