Selangor ruler Sultan Sharafuddin Idris Shah is expected to visit Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple - a Buddhist temple renowned for its scenic beauty, architecture and cultural significance - for the upcoming Chinese New Year celebrations.
Malaysiakini learned that the visit will be in conjunction with the state government’s Chinese New Year open house at the temple on Feb 8.
Selangor exco Ng Sze Han is scheduled to hold a press conference at the temple on Jan 22 to announce further details.
When contacted by Malaysiakini today, Ng's office declined to provide additional information and told the portal to wait for the official announcement at the press conference.
Sultan Sharafuddin regularly attended the state government’s Chinese New Year celebrations in the past, participating in festive activities such as "lou sang" and the eye-dotting ceremony for lion dances.
In October last year, Selangor Tengku Permaisuri Norashikin visited Dong Zen Temple and participated in a Chinese tea-making activity.
The temple in Jenjarom is a renowned Buddhist cultural centre known for its gardens, traditional architecture, and peaceful ambience. It is a popular destination during the Chinese New Year season, attracting visitors for its annual Lantern and Floral Festival.
The upcoming Chinese New Year marks the Year of the Snake, with the first day of the lunar new year falling on Jan 29. - Mkini
