The downside of the night was that my camera battery died on me although I made sure that I had it fully charged the day before. The photos were badly taken and I had to do considerable retouching to save most of them. I could not take further pictures of the sumptuous dinner that followed.
I would conservatively estimate each table to cost around RM 650 and there were 44 tables.
The elaborate wedding card
The lobby entrance to the banquet hall
Waiting for the guests to arrive
Entrance to the banquet hall
Haridas, the proud father of the bride
Ganesha, the elephant deity at the lobby
The kolam next to Lord Ganesha. Story has it that in the old days kolams were drawn in coarse rice flour to invite ants, birds and other small creatures to share in the food. No doubt a testimony to the harmonious co-existence of humankind and creatures
I was attracted to this trellis with tiny bells that was placed on both sides of the entrance to the banquet hall
Musicians
On the right is my former teacher, Mr Indran
The elaborately decorated stage for the fire ceremony
A somewhat unusual main table set up in a semi circle

YIP KUM FOOK (MCA GOMBAK) DON'T BREAK THE BUDDHIST RULES
ReplyDeleteTo Samnak Sambodhi Manager (Yip Kum Fook, MCA Gombak) and Yap Leaong Lan (Peggy Yap)
The local public asked about wanting to be a member of the SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION, No: 19 Jalan 38 Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong 52100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, but happily they were not all MCA party members. Why?
1) This is not a place of political arena; this is a place of prayer.
2) This is where people’s property is not your own property.
Hope you are understanding and free of wrong laws immediately, otherwise unsweet things will happen.
Thank you
Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong

We have been informed and told everyone to everyone. YIP KUM FOOK (lawyer, president of SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE) was embarrassed by Buddhism, as a shame of the Buddhist world
ReplyDeleteIn addition, do dirty with monks. He thinks this temple is his, when we read the articles on the internet, our mind is sadder because of many posts and comments on the internet.
But he still doesn't know anything. Maybe he is close to the six senses feelings. This is very low knowledge. Some old man groups at Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong are also very embarrassing when they speak about SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE
On the contrary, if this Yip Kum Fook has learned the law, he needs to understand some laws, other lawyers do not make problems and deceive people, only this Yip Kum Fook in the world…..
In Buddhist also same, if he understands Buddhist knowledge, why does he need to do badly, insult Buddhist monks (rejected monks out from Temple), we know about SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST TEMPLE because we are groups opened this Temple at Taman Ehsan on 1987
We don't say much because of his karma (YIP)
By Mr Lim, Desa Jaya, Kepong
His son (YIP JIUN HANN叶君瀚, 律师..MCA GOMBAK) also has the same behavior and habits as his father because father (YIP KUM FOOK叶金福, 律师) does bad things in society, cheats people about money and has sex with people's wives everywhere and the children(son) also play women everywhere too
ReplyDeletenow many people know about this YIP KUM FOOK叶金福 family in their way of life, but they can't escape from people gossiping about what they have done. in the end life is hard.. pity those who do evil, not in this life but have to bear it for another life as well.
They will tremble all their lives in life and they are not free all their lives like animals touching hot water, in Buddhist who broke the Sangha community, this is the greatest sin, also not easy to confess and there is no way to cleanse it
Really to happen to you, your friends and relatives will laugh at you, you will be lonely without friends because when you have a lot of money, you are proud of them, at that time nobody wants you...you will walk the road alone
Shared by loke & friends in Kepong
Datuk Yip Kum Fook is very stupid and dirty to Buddha and MCA in Malaysia...MCA is very weak. Now, so many MCA members jump the party and also the Samnak Sambodhi Buddhist Temple, now the local people do not enter because they do not like the committee members, maybe the temple will no longer be one day, must be close according to our prediction.
ReplyDeleteInstead, we must inform Datuk Yip Kum Fook about opening a lawyer's office to cheat the people's money and lie to the Malaysia government about lawyer...we know you are very well, from the beginning of your business furniture and playing politics in Kepong
Many lawyers also don't like him because he is not a real lawyer...his title is a lawyer bought from a UK institution (no need to learn and practice about law)..Better close or close the office… it is a shame for Malaysia….
