Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng has assured members of the public that the Thaipusam celebration on the island this weekend will be peaceful, as it has always been in the past years.

“I have spoken to the Penang police chief, Abdul Rahim Hanafi, about this at our monthly Security Meeting yesterday and he said the police have everything under control,” Lim told a press conference at Komtar today.
