Image description

A Malaysian Chinese recites a prayer as the 'Wangkang' or 'King's boat' is burned on the shore of the Strait of Malacca, 170 kilometres south of Kuala Lumpur, late February 7, 2001. Devotees believe that evil spirits collected from the community will be shipped to the unknown aboard the burning boat, reviving a 68-year-old ritual previously held to ward off disease and economic hardship. Some speculated Wednesday's event could be in response to heightened tensions between Chinese and the majority Malays in this nation of 22 million people. BM/CC
