GEORGE TOWN: Chemist P. Mohanasunthari, 30, and her mother Choong Pei Sze, 48, were all smiles as they carried lotus-shaped candles and a bunch of flowers at the Penang Buddhist Association in Anson Road here on Wesak Day.
Although raised as a Hindu, Mohanasunthari said her mother is “Chindian” (an informal term for individuals of mixed Chinese and Indian parentage) and was exposed to Buddhism in her youth.
