THE ANNUAL CHINGAY

"In year 2012, Chingay was officially acknowledged as one of Malaysia’s National Cultural Heritage (Warisan Kebudayaan Kebangsaan). Every year, the temple organises the world renowned, annual Chingay, also known as the Parade of the Deities on the 19th to 22nd day of the first lunar month. The 4-day parade reaches its climax on the 3rd night when the temple Deities are taken on an annual tour of Johor Bahru city on special sedan chairs carried by devotees. Attracting more than 300,000 visitors who join the parade or gather along the procession route each year, Chingay pays homage to the temple’s 5 Deities who unify the 5 prominent Chinese clans in Johor Bahru."
