Despite repeated urging from religious leaders for Chinese devotees to burn offerings responsibly, some still persist in playing with fire — literally.
The burning of paper offerings may be a common sight during the seventh lunar month but footage of two men making their offerings with an open fire at a void deck of a Compassvale block sparked concern after it was shared on Facebook page Singapore Road Accident on Saturday (Aug 22).
The 16-second clip, which has been viewed over 170,000 times at the time of writing, showed two unidentified men standing over the bonfire at 206B Compassvale Lane.
One of them appeared to be prodding at the fire with a stick while the other looked on.
The flames, which came up to about chest height, sent embers and chunks of ashes billowing upwards.
