Chingay festival held on smaller scale due to COVID-19
Chingay festival held on smaller scale due to COVID-19
The annual Chingay festival here was held on smaller scale today in the wake of the Covid-19 outbreak.
Checks by Bernama found devotees thronging the Xing Gong temple in Jalan Ulu Ayer Molek here as early as 3 pm. The temple is the first location for the procession of five deities of the religious event.
The Tiong Hua Federation, which is the organiser of the festival, was also seen taking added precautions by stationing health staff to monitor body temperature of each visitor to the temple.
Face masks and hand sanitisers were also distributed to visitors and members of the public witnessing the festival.
The two-hour procession from 7 pm over eight kilometres around the city this time only comprised five floats as compared to 17 last year.
Entering its 150th year this year, the festival marks the solidarity of five Chinese dialect groups, namely the Teochew, Hokkien, Hakka, Guangsiew and Hainan.
Prior to this, the Johor state government had advised organisers of major events to postpone or hold them on a smaller scale due to the new coronavirus problem, which originated in China but has since spread across the globe.
Malaysia has recorded 19 cases of COVID-19 to date, while 67 cases have been reported in Singapore which is just across the causeway from Johor

Tourist events to go on unless WHO advises otherwise
Tourist events to go on unless WHO advises otherwise, says DPM
The Deputy Prime Minister said events on a big scale can proceed as usual despite the novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) outbreak.
“We will see how the situation is. If WHO says we are not allowed to have big gatherings then we will issue statements or directives, ” she told a press conference on Wednesday (Jan 29) after visiting the National Crisis Preparedness and Response Centre here.
She said this when asked if the government intends to restrict Thaipusam celebrations next weekend in Batu Caves, which will be visited by both local and international visitors.
Dr Wan Azizah said the 2019-nCoV virus outbreak is under control and reminded people not to spread false or fake news that can cause uneasiness.
She said 57 hospitals are available for screenings, out of which, 26 have been identified to handle the suspected cases that need further examination and treatment.
Earlier, Dr Wan Azizah held a meeting with several ministries and agencies to discuss the virus situation in the country.
She said among the things agreed in the meeting include enhancing the screening of travellers from China by having a special lane for them.
She also said those with 2019-nCoV symptoms are advised to get themselves checked, especially if they had just returned from China.
Earlier Wednesday, the Health Ministry confirmed three more cases, bringing the total number of such cases to seven.
Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah said two out of the three new cases were from the Patient-Under-Investigation (PUI) group.
Meanwhile, one case was from close contact with infected patients.
All the seven who tested positive are Chinese nationals.

Chingay Fest to go on as scheduled in Johor
The Chingay Festival, marking its 150th year, will proceed as scheduled.
Johor Baru mayor Datuk Adib Azhari Daud said that as of now, the festival would be held from Feb 11 to 15, amidst public debate about the coronavirus.
v “I would like to advise the public to take precautionary measures including wearing appropriate masks to protect themselves from airborne diseases.
“Vendors selling food during the parade should also ensure cleanliness and do their part to reduce the risk of spreading any disease, ” he said during the Johor Baru City Council full council meeting yesterday.
The Chingay Festival has been held in the state annually since 1870.
It is one of the main tourism programmes in Johor where thousands of local and foreign tourists from various countries would attend.
The event takes place mainly on Jalan Wong Ah Fook in the city centre here.
During the festival, deities worshipped by the five main Johor clans – Teochew, Hokkien, Hakka, Cantonese and Hainan – would be taken on a 7.8km-long tour on foot to bless the city and its people.
Johor Baru Tiong Hua Association president Ho Sow Tong said about 40,000 people attended last year’s festival.
The association was hoping to achieve similar numbers for this year’s festival but added that public health was their main priority.
“Those who are unwell should not attend the Chingay Festival and should get medical attention, ” he added.
Ho also advised the public to get the correct information about the coronavirus from reliable sources such as the media and government announcements.

First Christmas bazaar will be in downtown JB
First Christmas bazaar will be in downtown Johor Baru
The first Christmas bazaar will be in downtown Johor Baru near the Arulmigu Rajamariammam Temple and Gurdwara Sahib.
Johor will have its first ever Christmas bazaar at an open space in downtown Johor Baru, near Arulmigu Rajamariamman Temple and Gurdwara Sahib.
The Christmas Bazaar @ JB City Centre will be held from Dec 5 until Christmas Day on Dec 25, and themed “Uniknya Pelbagaian Bangsa Johor”.
The event is organised by the Johor Baru Entrepreneurs and Traders Association specialising in products for those celebrating Christmas.
There will be 30 booths at the bazaar offering products such as Christmas trees, decorative items, Christmas cakes, cookies and puddings including the must-have roasted turkey.
“Our members have suggested organising the event as there are bazaars to welcome Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Chinese New Year and Deepavali in Johor Baru,’’ said association secretary Jenny Lim.
She said the association also received support from the state unity, domestic trade and consumerism committee chairman Dr S. Ramakrishnan.
Lim said so far 10 booths had been taken up by traders with rental between RM2,900 and RM3,900 for the bazaar, which would be held for 20 days.
“We hope Sabahans, Sarawakians and Filipinos living in Johor Baru can also take part in the bazaar to showcase their products,’’ she said, adding it could attract Singaporeans shopping for Christmas.
Lim said visitors would have the opportunity to witness multi-cultural performances to celebrate Malaysia and Johor’s uniqueness and diversity on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays at the main stage.
She said other shows included the appearance of Santa Claus, Santarina and Christmas carolling.
