SIBU (Feb 18): In celebration of the Chinese New Year, Sibu Eng Ann Teng Tua Peh Kong Temple has unveiled a vibrant photo-taking area for visitors and devotees to capture festive memories.

According to the temple committee in a statement, the specially decorated installation features bright red backdrops symbolising prosperity and good fortune, along with cheerful New Year elements such as lantern motifs, festive clouds, and cartoon lion dance characters.
