The Penang Hindu Endowments Board (PHEB) has announced that this year’s Thaipusam offerings from the donation box amounted to RM224,775. The collection including the donations from various temples and Golden chariot procession, will be used for temple development, education and community welfare initiatives.

Breakdown of The Offerings

Among the total collections, the Waterfall Hiltop Temple recorded a collection of RM103,391 while the Golden Chariot Procession added an amount of RM121,384 in cash and 6.01 grams of gold. The total gold offerings from devotees amounted to 33.81 grams. Foreign currency and other monetary items were not included in this count and it will be sent to banks for valuation.

These figures of the collection were shared by YB Kumaresan Aramugam, Ahli Dewan Negara Parlimen Malaysia, following the Thaipusam offerings collection activities that took place at Komtar. He expressed his gratitude on behalf of the Endowment Board for the overwhelming generosity of the devotees.

Transparency in Collection and Counting Process
