Sirisena Perera, president of the Sasana Abhiwurdhi Wardana Society, said the Buddhist Maha Vihara Temple in Brickfields will not stage three major events on this year’s Wesak Day to control the size of crowds.

Cheng Hoon Teng Temple is one of the oldest temples in Malaysia, built in 1673 by Captain Lee Wei King with the stature of being awarded Outstanding Architectural Restoration by the United Nations Cultural and Scientific Educational Organization in 2003. A Bernama survey at Wat Photivihan in Kampung Jambu, famous for its 40.9 metre-long ‘Sleeping Buddha’, with a height of 10.9m, received devotees from 8.30am.
