Important Update on Chingay 2020

12 Feb 2020. Johor Bahru Tiong Hua Federation (JBTHF), organisers of 2020 Chingay Parade Festival scheduled for 14 Feb 2020 (Friday) have called off the parade on receiving advice from the Johor Government.

Johor Menteri Besar’s office statement said “The state government considers this decision as a precautionary measure following fears of a large-scale (Covid-19) infection spread if the procession continues”.

However, religious ceremonies in conjunction with Chingay on Feb 13 (Thurs) and 15 (Saturday) would continue.

JBTHF advise those who wish to go to the temple for the religious ceremony must ensure that they are healthy, and if not, to watch the ceremony live on their website.
