BUTTERWORTH: Over 1,000 devotees gathered at the Tow Boo Keong Temple here to toss yee sang along a 210m stretch for the seventh day of Chinese New Year touted by the community to be “everyone’s birthday”. Now into its 15th edition, the annual event saw carrots, radishes, vegetables and crackers neatly arranged in two long rows for the mass toss. “The event enabled devotees and the public to come together and take part in the tossing,” he said on Monday night at the temple in Jalan Raja Uda. Tourists Guo Na and Chen Xiao Lian, both 31, from Anhui in China, said they were fascinated by the scale of the tossing. “We have watched lion dances and drum performances, but we have never seen a yee sang tossing of such scale,” said Guo.
