Hi Gladys, this is rather a story that I wasn't surprised at. I am from Malaysia and as a Chinese, I know exactly how it works. I've seen the tradition like this being passed down the generations even in major cities like Kuala Lumpur or even here in Singapore. I totally agree that traditions should be preserved because they are here because someone believed in it. If we don't even play our role to keep the tradition going by even sharing it, it will be diminished like the ashes in the air one day. Soon, people are going to regret that why haven't we done anything to it. As my life philosophy says, travels make a person wiser! That the reasons why I never ever going to stop travelling in anytime! Thanks for sharing!!
