With Ching Ming day drawing
near (April 5), Chinese throughout the country have been seen
flocking to cemeteries to pay their respects to deceased
relatives. Tombstones would be cleaned, food would be displayed
and prayers would be offered to the dead during this annual
event. As the number of people heading for the cemetery
increases so does the rubbish. According to a caretaker of the
Kuala Belait Chinese Cemetery in Jalan Maulana, it is normal to
see mounting rubbish piled up at the entrance of the cemetery as
visitors often rushed to offer their respects before the day is
done. Photo shows rubbish gathered at the entrance, which is an
eyesore.
