Sheng Wong God's Birthday

Sheng Wong God's birthday is the time when a new temple committee is appointed along with a president. This committee takes on the responsibility of caring for the temple and setting out offerings for the next year. Two carved, crescent-shaped sticks are used to consult with Sheng Wong God about the rank of members within the committee. Each person throws the sticks to receive an answer. If the answer is “yes” they throw again. The more times that an individual gets the sticks to show an answer of “yes” the higher their final rank within the committee. The person with the most “yes” answers becomes the president.
