Inconsiderate 7th month behaviour

[Ahtong]

I know we must be respectful of others' beliefs but people should also be considerate when practising their customs. Every year, I know it is the start, middle and end of 7th month by the epic amount of smoke and ash in the air. Worse still, every patch of grass have those red incense sticks bordering them. To my knowledge, even Tiong Kok never practice 7th month anymore.

 

Isn't there a more civic minded way of doing things?

TBF, Tiong Kok during the great rebellion and bid to better control their citizen. Abolish all religions that is why they did not follow the practice anymore.

Don't think China is a good example...cos they have technically no religion, especially during the early part of communism. I do agree that people should be more considerate and more mindful of fire safety. There were lots of unburned paper all over the streets and burned patches of turf in my estate. But again, maybe those who chose to doing their offerings on places other than the drum provided by TC, may have a very valid reason for doing so.

it's the Cultural Revolution...

but to suppress and abolish all religions also caused all the good values and traditions to vanish...

that's why there's this missing ethic in business and other areas in life for a certain one or two generations of chinese born during that era

And the best thing about it is...... no worries about religious tension, no need to have religious tolerance or harmony in the society.

 

Religion by itself is the root of many evil, coz religion is good. And if good exist, then evil will too. Good is the root of evil.

A bit hard lah.... coz real estate is at a premium so there's only that much open space availlable for the offerings and such..... Some more one block already how many hundred units times the no. of blocks per estate and all fighting for the same patch of open space....

Maybe NEA can hire bangla during 1st and 15th of the 7th month to standby at nite during those popular timeslots and help clear the stuff as each family completes their prayer.... maciam like the same concept during Qing Ming when families flock to LCK or Mandai....

Hmm... can this be the productivity boost they got without the smoke/haze?

Like that those businesses dealing with religions go bust soon
