Despite being told by acquaintances that such an event would not be approved by the police, Tan proceeded without applying for a permit, which is required under the law.
On Jun 22, 2024, the procession, comprising about 150 participants, took place from noon to about 10pm, stopping at multiple temples across Singapore, including those in Geylang, Bedok and Loyang.
Participants travelled by vehicle between locations, disembarking about 200 to 300 metres away to perform rituals that also involved lion and dragon dances, as well as a qilin, before entering each temple. A qilin, or Chinese unicorn, is a sacred mythical creature in Chinese mythology.
