GEORGE TOWN: It was a rare sight at the famous Hock Hin Keong (Ban Ka Lan Snake Temple) in Bayan Lepas with only about 10 people present for Chinese New Year prayers.

Balik Pulau OCPD Supt A. Anbalagan, who visited the temple to check on the standard operating procedures (SOPs), said he was satisfied with the compliance. There aren t many people here and I was told that only five people visited the temple Thursday (Feb 11), said Supt Anbalagan when met at the temple on Friday (Feb 12) here.
