First two slideshows are photos of Thaipusam 2007, while the third slideshow is of Thaipusam 2007.
Thaipusam this year (taken between 10am and 2pm). There were less crowd before 10am.
Thaipusam last year (taken between 8.30am and 11.15am). Note the stairs were crowded since morning. The inside of the cave were packed. The crowd kept on increasing after 12pm.

It is sad to hear in news that there were comments on this year’s Thaipusam is extravaganza;nearly 1.3 million visitor…etc when the truth is obvious among our eyes..

Your photos prove that what certain individuals told during tv interview was a total lie.For your information, I attented Thaipusam celebrations in Batu Ccaves in 2007 with a group of friends.We arrived around 1am and left before 7am.The crowd was massive and it took us solid 2 hours to even step our foot into the temple.Then we were waiting in a long queue to go upstairs.
I attented this years’ Thaipusam clelebrations in Batu Caves again,just to see what was really happening.To my out most surprise,we parked out car few meters away from the main enterance and walked into the temple within a few minutes.We even secured a nice spot to watch the show which was organized by THR.FM.
I found it very shocking that Batu Caves was very ’empty’ this year compared to the previous years.Trust me,I aint telling lies…..
