My front of the block, other blocks with Buddhist funeral also come and burn
The back of my block, they use the huge cage to burn until the grass patch is black and
old trees have brown leaves all the time
Really 2C + 1Z.
Why do we need 5 Mayors and 87 PAP Ministers?

This is a cultural believe.
It's being carried down by our ancestors.
It takes time and understanding for these people to do away with burning.

"When paper is burned, it contributes to global warming To burn paper also causes air pollution; when paper burns it forms fine particles which get into our lungs or other parts of our bodies (like our hearts) and cause serious health problems".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Govt should introduce Burning Levy of $500 per kg of paper burnt
People living on the low level cannot afford to pay for expensive medical bills cause by others
Worst, some blocks are used by 5 others due to coffee shops and carpark
So they get this burning 20- to 30 times a year!
Carbon emission lah!

Govt must only allow funerals and not Toaist prayers/ ghost worshipping/ Buddhist festives at HDB
HDB becomes a place for people who do not want to go temples, then tear down temples, lah
Also, to be fair- Christains, Muslims and Zen must be allowed to hold family events at HDB open space
And the papers they use, is alot.
Need 5 people to manage.

#5. It Destroys the Social Compact

It is the Govt job to make sure that home is Home.
