This festival takes place each year on the last day of the Chinese New Year. The atmosphere is serene, pious and festive. It is one of the most important events for this religion in Malaysia, practiced by the Hokkiens, a community of Chinese origin moving to Malaysia in the fourteenth/fifteenth century, with many more people who still migrate there today. The festival is a tribute to five brothers; the five Ong Yahs who were made gods by the Emperor of jade and declared princes of the imperial justice. The most powerful of them, Tee Hoo Ong Yah, called upon his brothers to bring peace and prosperity to the world, like they had done, according to the legend, in coming to Malaysia.
