Member of the public seen praying for their departed loved ones at Kwong Tong Cemetery, Kuala Lumpur during the Qing Ming festival.PETALING JAYA – Exasperated with having to clear tonnes of waste every year, leading Chinese associations in Malaysia have implored those observing Qing Ming to go easy on the burning of joss paper and food offerings.
“Such practices contribute to the cleanliness and beautification of the cemetery, preventing garbage accumulation, which can be unhygienic. Managed by the association, the cemetery covers 106ha, mostly at Bukit Seputeh with another smaller site in Sungai Besi next to the Middle Ring Road 2 near Taman Connaught.
“We have had people who came with an entire roasted pig, steamed chicken, braised duck, fruits and a variety of cooked dishes.
