Residents burn offerings in huge cage -- blocking fire engine access

What's worse than people burning joss paper at scattered places? An entire congregation burning paper in a huge burning cage near ground floor homes, of course. STOMPer LK spotted this mass burning session in progress in Woodlands.

"These residents have come together for what seems to be a mass paper offering burning session just beside a fire engine access at Woodlands Avenue 5. 

"If a fire were to happen at this spot, the fire engine might not be able to access the blaze. Fire engine access areas like this found in HDB estates should not be allowed by the TC and the erecting of such a large cage should be banned especially when they are so close to the HDB blocks which have ground floor units in them.

"I thought there are rules on where joss paper can be burnt. Though the practise of incense burning during the hungry ghost month festival is respected by all, there should be a line drawn somewhere as to where the burning can be done.

"I hope that in the future, sensitive spots like the fire engine access should be disallowed for burning joss paper."

This group must be devotees of an house temple operating nearby. Their wealth is more important than their health. After finishing burning, "Huat ah", ancestors & hungry ghosts very busy liao, accountable to return "luck" to them. So many case, HDB authorities should look into the matter. Justice to the earth. Peace to the ancestors.
