THOUSANDS of devotees thronged the Malaysian Buddhist Association (MBA) on Jalan Burma in George Town to take part in the Wesak Day Float procession today.

The 7km procession, which was not held for the last three years due to the Covid-19 pandemic, saw the participation of 25 organisations, including various Buddhist temples and societies.

Their respective floats, carrying statues of Buddha, were well decorated with colourful flowers.
