Ponggal 2

Went to a Ponggal celebration off Jln Yeap Chor Ee.

Thousands watched the climb up the greasy pole for the prize at the top; there was dancing and the traditional taming of the bull when young man show how brave they are.

Some lucky hundreds saw the fun of the taming but we were unable to look over their heads so we have reproduced a photo from 'The First Post'. One of the bulls, angered by attempts to mount him, jumped over the fence and escaped with the prize money.
