A TEMPLE in George Town, Penang, is now providing an e-wallet platform for devotees to give donations and pay for the Grand Duke (Tai Sui in Cantonese) ritual.
Tai Por Kong Temple (San Jiang Miao) honorary secretary Koay Teng Hai said this was the first year the temple was offering cashless services to devotees.
“Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we decided to apply for an e-wallet platform.
“We have been preparing for this since September last year.
“We have e-wallet QR codes on every donation box for devotees to scan.
