STOMPers irked by huge mess left behind after offerings are burnt

STOMPers Mrs Ang and I'm trying to understand think its is very inconsiderate for people to leave offerings strewn all over the ground.

Mrs Ang wrote:

"Where's the responsibility of Singaporeans?

"I'm Chinese too but where's your responsibility?

"You burn the offerings but you let the cleaners clean up your mess?"

I'm trying to understand added:

"I feel that this mess is unacceptable even if it's the Hungry Ghost season. I find this is basically littering and this should stop.

"I am not saying that you should stop burning offerings as I know this festival is important to some Singaporeans, but I would like to remind people that there are also others who don't celebrate this festival and I feel very uncomfortable with this mess.

"I hope you can be more considerate and think about others who are using the path and not make a mess."

Images 1 and 2 are from Mrs Ang, while image 3 is from I'm trying to understand.

Buddhist have never encouraged/taught mass burning of joss paper and the ideology of burning joss paper to provide salvation. However, i think this Chinese practice have a beautiful reason to continue, but should be done in a more harmonious way with the environment.

We r living in HDB n not BDH (Before Developed into House)

Life in HDB is to have a big heart n respects each other.

So once it developed into HDB estate one can choose to leave or choose BDH that will certainly give you more privacy n less FOC(Full of complaints)

Racial harmony can solve all races when it is your turn of cultural celebration.
