So exactly what happens on Thaipusam Eve? Well, do expect the smashing of thousands of coconuts especially in George Town, Penang!
Though I call myself a Penangite, having lived in Penang all my life (on the mainland and island), I have never before witnessed the smashing of coconuts ‘live’. Sure, I’ve heard of it, saw news footages on TV and read news and articles but I never thought of actually being right on the scene.
