The caretaker of the organising temple, Mr Wong Sao Tian, claimed the Chinese deity Mazu had told him to grieve the loss of Jobs in a dream.
About 40 people participated in the event, dubbed "Take a bite of Apple to mourn the death of Steve Jobs", held in Pulau Jerejak, Penang. The ceremony included taking a bite of an apple followed by a three-minute silence in mourning. The apples are then thrown into the sea so Jobs can be reincarnated in a shorter time.
Organised by a medium from Selangor, the ceremony, which had a RM$50 (S$20.50) registration fee, received flak from the Federation of Taoist Associations Malaysia and from several Buddhist associations, which had called it "ridiculous and superstitious".
