Sungai Puyu assemblyman Phee Syn Tze said there are two temples in her constituency that are giving out free vegetarian meals during the nine-day festival.“Devotees who observe a vegetarian diet can get free food from the temples instead of buying from stalls in the locality.“Those who collect the packed meals can opt to pay a token sum if they wish to.At the Tow Boo Kong temple off Jalan Raja Uda in Butterworth, free vegetarian food is served twice a day, for lunch and dinner.

“We invite the general public to come for the food that five chefs and more than 30 volunteers have prepared.“For each session, there will be enough food for about 2,000 people.Khor said the food is entirely funded by devotees, either in cash or rations.It was reported that devotees observing a strict nine-day vegetarian diet in conjunction with the Nine Emperor Gods festival will have to pay more for the food this year.

A news portal had reported that a Penangite was infuriated when he was charged RM81 for about five vegetarian food items at stalls near a Nine Emperor Gods temple, sparking a debate about whether vegetarian vendors are profiteering during the festival.
