For the 1st time from my knowledge, there wont be any chariot possession, kavadi or paal kudam in Penang Thaipusam.
As the cases in the state also rising with red zones in both island and land, the state government took a cautious decision to ensure the state is still under safe hands/situation.
Furthermore, being administered by the opposition, I'm sure the news will spread on different ways should there be anew cluster found in the state, especially when interstate travel ban is lifted.
Nevertheless, both the temples will have their usual rituals (poojai) with controlled crowd. Obviously, people with young children or senior citizens are encouraged to stay away from the crowd.
