Rain cuts short Wesak Day procession
The procession only managed to complete about 30% of the 12km route that was originally planned.
Launched by Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Aziz, the procession had started at 6.30pm from Jalan Berhala in Brickfields with 25 brightly coloured floats making its way around the city centre.
It ended back at the Buddist Maha Vihara (BMV) temple about 10.30pm.
Despite the rain, many devotees had lined the streets to receive the holy water blessings from the monks.
主办超过50年的吉隆坡十五碑卫塞节大游行,昨晚也首次获得旅游及文化部长拿督斯里纳兹里的蒞临开幕,为超过12公里的大游行掀开序幕。
游行开始半小时后,隆市中心下起了倾盆大雨,被迫暂时停止。民眾只能在店屋或有盖走道避雨,雨势直到晚上9时15分左右才变小,花车队伍也继续游行。惟滂沱大雨造成部分路段闪电积水,花车队伍与信徒也只能冒险涉水而过,最终在警方以安全为由的劝说下,游行队伍到了中央艺术坊就打道回府,结束游行。
