Burning Of Incense

dragg SG

Are there no rules against burning of incense at corridors of HDB flats?

my neighbour did it again yesterday midnight. i woke up feeling like i was in cameron highlands, except for the smell of burning soot. i ended up having to open all windows and door for better ventilation.

Really? That smoggy? How many sticks did they burn? Usually three sticks only isn't it?

Anyways, I don't know about the regulations.

dragg SG

not joss sticks but incense.

incense papers ? ..... hell notes ? ...

thought people are only to burn them in designated containers on the ground now ? ....

I think it's just incence that's burnt and placed in a bronze pot to burn, and then carried like a lantern all over a certain area? Is it like this, dragg?

I've seen my ex-neighbours, who were Indians, do this. It does produce a lotta smoke. Razz

But nothing beats the Hungry Ghost Festival ash and smoke fest! Twisted Evil

they burnt it in a pot. but they did it just at the corridor near to my door. i will go to town council on monday and clarify with them.

i seriously doubt they are allowed to do it.

Sigh...this is a tricky issue...sometimes have to ren3 (tolerate)... and close all your windows, stuff wet cloth under the door. Used to suffer an insufferable neighbour(s) who would burn incense, smoke outside my windows and play mahjong overnight while in my ex-neighbourhood. Tsk..tsk... Sad

Now still face this problem with new neighbour in a new neighbourhood, and we're at the mercy of the wind direction, so still try to ren3... at least he's not as bad as the old insufferable neighbour. Smile
