Those worshipping to their gods is still ok. However, I do not understand what good is there to pray to ghosts with the intent to make celebration of Getai a national event is truly unacceptable.
If I am right, there are quite a lot of Christians in Singapore. As Christians, they are supposed not to be superstitious.
Aiya, once you pray to something basing on believe like God or other spirits, it is already superstitious. So, Singaporeans are superstitious bunch.
Just how many people roll a pineapple across their new house and you get the answer.

In UK and Europe, many churches were turned into museums.
I think Chinese are most superstitious than other religion
My mum used to make me wear red for Chinese New Year!
And Toasism / Shamanism ( mixed with Buddhism in Singapore) -
Shamanism: The Roots of Taoist Practice
There is much, in fact, from this early period of China’s history, and in particular its shamanic world-view and practices, that is reflected in the subsequent emergence of Taoism. Spirit-travel to planets, stars and galaxies are practices found within the Shangqing sect of Taoism. Taoist magicians use talismans to invoke the powers and protection of supernatural beings.
