JOHOR BAHRU,
MALAYSIA - A GROUP of devotees in Johor Baru took part in a "sleep
in a coffin" ritual in the hope of getting rid of bad luck,
China Press reported.
The daily reported that the
devotees believed that by following the ritual, their families
would be blessed with prosperity and good fortune.
The ritual was common in the old
days but temples in Malaysia rarely carry out such ceremonies now
as coffins are still considered "not a very good thing" by the
community, the daily reported. -- The Star
