Photographed by IS OOI
Hokkien New Year is celebrated widely in Penang.
The Hokkien community in Chew Jetty is celebrating this
year's Thni Kong Seh in a grand scale. Over 30 long tables of food and fruits,
big bottles of cognac and trays, baskets, and sugarcane stalks.
This Hokkien New Year is to celebrate the day when the
Hokkiens escaped mistreatment by ruthless army in ancient China by seeking refuge
in a sugarcane plantation. The Hokkiens emerged unharmed on the 8th day of
Chinese New Year. Hence it is consider as New Year for the Hokkiens.
This is once a year grand heritage event which you must come
and witness which is uniquely Penang.
