Wat Chetawan Temple, Petaling Jaya (วัดเชตวัน)

Today is the 2nd day of Chinese New Year (农历新年). I visited the Wat Chetawan Temple with my family. This is the annual CNY temple visiting activities.
Wat Chetawan Temple is situated at 24, Jalan Pantai, Off Jalan Gasing, 46000 Petaling Jaya, Selangor. 
Wat Chetawan is a famous Buddhist Thai temple in Selangor, Malaysia. 
I was told the official name of this famous temple is Thai Buddhist Chetawan Temple. 
The Vihara (Viharn) which is the main shrine hall of this temple was completed in 1962.

A row of 18 Buddha statues holding alm pots in Wat Chetawan Temple.

I like it's authentic ancient Thai design and the architecture at this temple is beautiful.
 
 Wat Chetawan Temple is a beautiful temple and worth to visit.

Clean & Clear® Deep Action Daily Pore Cleanser

The all-new Clean & Clear® Deep Action Daily Pore Cleanser is a powerful cleanser with unique double-action function that controls oil and keeps blackheads at bay, leaving teens with visibly oil-free and clear complexion. This is another innovation from Clean & Clear® to Malaysian teens.
The all-new cleanser features a few Clean & Clear® technologies to improve teens oily and blackheads condition.
1.) PureRice™ technology
Pure Rice™ technology, a special extract of all-natural rice protein which has a unique structure to soak up oil from the skin like a micro-sponge all day long.  It works mainly by attracting and capturing sebum (oily secretions from skin) from skin pores 8 times faster and lasting up to 8 hours. 
2.)Apple micro scrub & natural apple fruit acid formula.
Apple micro scrub & natural apple fruit acid formula helps to remove blackheads effectively and gently and visible results of lesser blackheads can be seen in just three days with regular usage. 

Additionally, Clean & Clear® Deep Pore Cleanser also contains Salicylic Acid that penetrates into the epidermis and into the pores to prevent clogged pores.  This also helps to remove blackheads, but more importantly, it prevents future blackheads from forming.  

Clean & Clear® Deep Pore Cleanse:
  • is clinically tested and proven to be able to reduce sebum up to 25 per cent in just three weeks with continuous usage.  
  • it is also gentle and mild to the skin, and as such can be used daily without hesitation. 
Regular use of Clean & Clear® Daily Pore Cleanser cleanses surface dirt and skin cells and controls oil secretion to prevent the precursors of blackheads.  It immediately breaks the blackhead cycle, leaving smooth and visibly clear-looking skin that teens always want.

Clean & Clear® Daily Pore Cleanser is available in 50gm and 100gm at major super and hypermarkets as well as pharmacies.
