The solemn tribute was further marked by the “Ba Bai Yi Shi”, a traditional Chinese ritual observed in certain communities.
Held at 1pm, the ceremony combined Indian and traditional Chinese drumming, with three lion dancers — two white and one blue — leading the procession.
Adorned with the Chinese character for “filial piety”, the lions made their way to the funeral hall alongside two child actors playing mourners.
