Over 12,000 Hindu devotees in Singapore celebrate Thaipusam at Sri Thendayuthapani Temple

In Singapore, over 12,000 devotees celebrating Thaipusam turned up at the Sri Thendayuthapani Temple to give thanks and seek blessings. Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat also visited the temple to take part in festivities. For the second year running, customs like the foot procession, body piercings and the carrying of wooden or metal structures known as "kavadis" were not allowed. Safe management measures were also enhanced -- only those fully vaccinated can enter the temple, and around 720 people were allowed in each hour.

    Too bad la how to be PM when the PM position not vacant? Somemore he suay that he got involved in CECA agreement. If he now suddenly say want to be PM, then he is just going to look like a fool. Because of him the cabinet reshuffled with lacklustre ministers taking certain positions.

    @Indian toilet I'm 🕉 Balinese too, 🕉☸️ is a unique religion with one book. The mention of the name of the god is according to their respective culture but the meaning is the same (which is singular), the god is the same but the culture is not the same because it does not allow equating cultures. unlike the culture that obscures its artistic culture, worshiping foreign nations in the desert so that their culture can prosper in their area 😇🙏🏻

    Authority needs to have fair and coherent policies. No gathering of more than 5 for CNY. But how many ppl breached safe distancing in this temple video? Not considered gathering then? OMG. What will the common folks think about impartiality practiced by the Authority?

    As per measures up to 1000 vaccinated people are allowed for congregational and worship services so it is stated that the temple has allowed 720 vaccinated people in each hour.

    This is all bullshit measures meant to curtail people gathering together. What kind of rubbish social distancing measures the authority is talking about when you see every Sat/Sunday Chong Pang market with tens of thousands of people jostling elbow to elbow. This absolutely MENTAL SICK moron gov officials sitting in their aircon room giving directions as though the whole world is as MENTALLY SICK as them.

    See the damage done by CECA when India national chief priest pawns deities gold jewellery and even managed to remit back SGD$141000 and above back to India. Wonder how many more of our local financial institutions helmed by CECAs are already practising the same.
