Go easy on burning of joss papers during Qing Ming, says Malaysian Chinese associations

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.

The management of Kwong Tong Cemetery, the largest and oldest one in Kuala Lumpur, had to hire several five-tonne lorries to clear some 150 tonnes of “tomb-sweeping garbage” every Qing Ming for the past several years.

Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia president said the management of most cemeteries have had to deal with similar challenges during Qing Ming, also known as Tomb Sweeping Day or Chinese All Souls’ Day. It is typically observed by ethnic Chinese around the world and is devoted to remembering and honouring the dead.
