Man 'cooked' in giant wok
A MALAYSIAN man allowed himself to be "cooked" for half an hour in a huge wok of steaming dumplings and corn in an offering to Chinese deities during a Taoist festival, a report said today.
A giant steamer cover was placed over temple caretaker Lim Boon Hwa, 56, as he sat cross-legged on a wooden board atop a steaming giant wok yesterday in a temple in northern Kedah state, The Star said.
This was the fourth time Lim was "cooked" to mark the festival, known as the Nine Emperor Gods, the newspaper said.
