BURNED OFFERINGS ON PAVEMENT BLOCKS WAY FOR WHEELCHAIR BOUND ELDERLY

There are people who chose to burn their offerings on the pavement, despite multiple bins deployed for the purpose.

Here is what the netizen said:

I understand its a tradition thing. But please be more mindful, its a walking path not a burning paper/sugarcane path. Brought my ahkong out on wheelchair jalan-jalan, where to walk on, road? Time to make awareness.

Another resident shared something similar:

An example of how irresponsible & inconsiderate some people can be. Yes, respect each other’s beliefs and culture, but we have to be considerate and respectful towards others and the environment in general.

Thank you to those who have been doing the right way though 

Here are what netizens think

• Yes, we respect each other’s religion but be more sensible use the big thong for burning one instead u making the cleaners to clean up etc..

• the person of right mind definitely doesnt want to disrepect the intention of joss offerings.

• As a chinese, i will feel irritated as well. Because it is pantang to step, cycle over the offerings.

• Here in sembawang also they throw their burning paper in the drain.They should held responsible for their actions.

• The authority had been too lenient on irresponsible burning, spared a thought for people especially on wheelchair.Do you think God will bless you for inconsiderate behaviour
