“Chneah Hoay” Flame Watching Ceremony (寶福社请火仪式)

About This Event

The mysterious "Flame Watching Ceremony" begins around 11 p.m. that night once the high tide has submerged a particular rock the Committee and members first pray to Twa Peh Kong. Afterward, all lights and oil lamps inside the temple are extinguished plunging the temple into complete darkness. The intensity of the flames from the incense burner is then used to predict the economic prospects for Penang in the coming year. AddressTua Pek Kong Temple (海珠屿大伯公庙)
