Penang is adamant to proceed with the golden chariot procession for the Thaipusam celebrations on Jan 18, next year.
This is despite the federal government's announcement yesterday that there would be no chariot procession. However, the federal government had given the green light for the Thaipusam celebrations for next year.
Speaking at a press conference at his office in Komtar today, Deputy Chief Minister II Professor Dr P. Ramasamy urged National Unity Minister Datuk Halimah Mohamed Sadique to rescind on her no chariot procession directive.
He said, in the absence of the chariot procession, the religious festival has no meaning.
