One of the culture. Not the only one. Other race and religions' cultures not to be forgotten!

No one seems able to answer yodudeman's repeated questions.

So, does anyone really knows the difference between religious/cultural tolerance and tolerated religion/culture ? - only a particular religion/culture has to be tolerated. Correct?

kungfu1974... u just symbolise ignorance... when i say i totally respect such festivals and know that they are part of the chinese culture, what is your problem?? i am just trying to request some of my fellow singaporeans to be a biiit more considerate and use the facilities provided. Would u like to walk all over those ashes the next morning? and step over the offerings that are lying all over place??
