The Jade Emperor Temple at Ayer Itam.
Today marks the 9th day of Chinese lunar new year, which is also a Chinese Hokkien celebration for giving thanks and gratitude to the Jade Emperor.
Legend has it that once upon a time, the Chinese Hokkien people from the Fujian province in China managed to hide (with the blessing of the Jade Emperor) from their enemies in a sugarcane farm during Chinese New Year for nine consecutive days. Henceforth, on every 9th day of the Chinese lunar new year, the Hokkiens mark the occasion by having a big celebration.
