I usually have no problem with Spirit Festival and I respect to traditions and cultures diversity greatly. However, the photo below make me really uncomfortable. It was taken next to a block near ang mo kio where people burn "ghost money" to memorize ancestors or family members that passed away.
As you can see, the site almost turns out to be a trash depot, unburned litters, plastic bags everywhere along the road side and below hdb.
Singapore is well known as the most clean and beautiful country in the world, but the scene obviously doesn't give any credit to it. I really hope that government could put more effort to regulate this (if not ban it) rather than developing more brilliant manners to raise tax.

新加坡的鬼节让新加坡的美丽形象失分不少，几乎整个月总是有人烧冥纸，尊重传统没有错， 烟灰我也能忍受，可是象照片里这样的话可就不对了。
这个是在我家附近离MRT很近的一栋楼下，没有烧掉的冥纸随风乱飘，本来整洁干净的楼下变得一团糟。不知组屋居民看到自己家门口变成这样做何感想。
