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.
Visit a temple
Visit a Taisui temple to pay respects to Tai Sui to ask for the God’s blessing. You can prepare a package containing a piece of paper with your name and date written on it. Pray, and
kau tau (磕頭), which means bowing your head to the ground to all of the 60 Tai Sui Gods to show respect, and burn the package afterwards.
Avoid funerals and hospitals visits
Funerals and hospitals are the hotspot for evil spirits, which will add on to the bad luck you’re already suffering due to
fan tai sui. Attending funerals and visiting patients at the hospital are highly discouraged, and if it’s an unavoidable situation such as a family member’s death, try and avoid seeing the body and wait outside the room after offering incense.
