A Taoist festival: Nine Emperor God invited on 8 Oct 2026 from East Coast Park sea,carpark F2 7pm to 25 Jln Ulu Siglap KIM SAN TZE Temple. *Date of Festival: 08-18 Oct 2026 Invite: 7pm 08/10 Send-off: 7.30pm 18/10 Present-day sites for the receiving and sending off include East Coast Park, Changi Beach, and Punggol Marina. While not all temples receive the gods on the same day or time, all of the temples send off the Nine Emperor Gods on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month. Most of the receiving and sending off take place at night, although there are some temples which do this in the day, like Jiu Huang Gong in Arumugam Road. Another important aspect of the festival is the emphasis on purity. Thus, at each temple, spring-cleaning is done at least two weeks before the festival. Assistants helping out in the festival, especially in the key rituals, have to start their vegan diet early and follow strict rules. This involves abstaining from meat, eggs, milk, and even garlic and onions. Likewise, devotees have to follow these rules during the festival, with some opting to start as early as a month or more before the festival. During the festival, temple helpers and devotees are dressed in white or yellow shirts and pants. They wear white handkerchiefs over their heads and yellow strips of cloth around their waists and wrists which represents purity. P.S. there seems to be a few peranakans there too. Chanced upon some speaking baba malay, like myself. Happy to hear them talking, joking & laughing. So nostalgia cos hard to find babas nowadays cos alot "chelup" already😂🤣
