Man Allowed Himself To Be Cooked In Giant Wok
<snip>

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.

The longest he had been on the wok was 45 minutes.

"Lim's performance shows the greatness of the Taoist deities in protecting their devotees from harm," temple spokesman Goon Fook Theong was quoted as saying.
