7th month soon - watch 七月俏佳人again

The bad thing about 7th month is all the burning of ghost papers in the void deck.

It is pollutes the air, contributes to the haze, bad for people with respiratory problem, create respiratory problems for healthy people.

They can burn all they want but don't burn outside the flat, void deck or in a residential building. PAP should get them to burn in special areas that contain the smoke.
 
It is worse than 2nd hand smoke! It is like living in a burning house!

The useless MIWs want us to respect other people religion but they never respect my freedom to breathe fresh air!!!


Burning house, I concur.

I guess smoke from paper is more toxic than tobacco.

The problem is PAP scared to lose the vote, if they ban paper burning in void deck, they will be out of power two decades ago.
 
Should sue all buggers polluting our fresh air!

Now so many people get cancers and heart attacks!

Stupid superstitions bullshits!

Even in China and Taiwan burning joss, incense and papers in public is illegal except in designated approved areas, i.e. within private premises, temples and cemetries. Of oversea-Chinese communities, only HK, Malaysia and Singapore have longrunning tradition of public burning of offerings tolerated. The link is obvious, all were British colonies and the British couldn't care less if they wanted to burn their own villages down, as the British colonial administrators and merchants lived in their own towns.

Anyway, it's ironic, isn't it, that throwing paper and selling paper (political punt intended) are illegal, but burning paper is legal.

wondering ghosts are all around

don't be sway sway kena kena ghosted

That is good observation. Explains how the practice got carried to the void decks.

I don't believe it is legal in the sense of there is a law allowing that (correct me if wrong).

To use your words, it is tolerated... for votes.

Nobody is cursing them. They will understand that the general public is entitled to fresh air in their homes. All they need to do is to go to the designated places to get the offerings just like how the living go to food court, hawker centre for food.

In any case, not all ghosts will be offended. Only the taoist ghost will, the muslim ghost, christian ghost, hindu ghost probably want the fresh air as well :eek:

Yours is good observation too. It's supposed to be illegal except when with permit, e.g. within funeral tentage, religious tentage or 7th-month tentage areas. Unorganised adhoc worshippers burning offerings anyway and anywhere they feel auspicious or convenient during 1st and 15th days of all lunar months, 1st to 15th days of the 1st month and all days of the 7th month is supposedly illegal but tolerated for political expediency.
 
This year, the hell gates open at midnight, 10th Aug, one day after Sinkieland's national day. What a pity! Our bros and sis from the netherworld will miss the grand NDP show!
