Ang Pow Tree Trimed


The lower branches of the bunga tanjung tree which people have been hanging red packets with their favourite 4-digit numbers were removed by Penang Municipal Council workers.

But by the following day more than 200 red packets were waiting to be placed on the lucky tree.

Rumors has it that a Bangladeshi worker who did not even have enough money to eat wrote his number on the electric pole next to the tree and ended up with a small fortune.

But a resident who declined to be named said the crowd had become a nuisance.
