I HAVE observed the proliferation of prayer altars in void
decks, senior citizens' corners, wet markets and hawker
centres.
These common areas are shared by residents of all races,
language and religion, and are used for occasions such as weddings,
parties and funerals.
Why are the authorities allowing these structures to be erected
in common spaces?
Apart from cultural sensitivities, this practice is unfair to
those who have bid for public land to build their own houses of
worship.
