SINGAPORE - Retired civil servant Sim CT, 75, opted to head to the Loyang Tua Pek Kong temple on Sunday night to mark the Jade Emperor’s birthday, as celebrating the occasion at home would require far more preparation.In the past, I would prepare a table of offerings at home including sugar cane with its roots intact,” Mr Sim said. On Sunday, all he had to do was buy incense papers and joss sticks at the temple located in eastern Singapore.
Compared to previous years, this year’s celebration was the first without restrictions since the Covid-19 pandemic. At the altar, temple staff placed a spread of longevity buns, longevity noodles, roast meats, cooked crabs, fresh fruits, red eggs and traditional sweets and confectionery.
