Indeed, it's far some-more critical than even Chinese New Year's Day or any other day.
The Hokkiens believe it's a day their ancestors were saved by a Lord of Heaven from genocidal massacre. Traditional Hokkiens around a world, generally in Penang as well as Singapore, will have votive offerings to Th'nee Kong (Lord of Heaven) to commemorate a shelter of a Hokkien competition by divine grace.
In Penang a each year pilgrimage to a temple of a Jade Emperor (Lord of Heaven) during Bukit Bendera has already begun.
