MELAKA – A non-governmental organisation is questioning why recycled decoration pieces from Singapore are used to adorn Melaka’s Little India in conjunction with the upcoming Deepavali festival.
Melaka Consumer and Environment Association’s (PPASM) education and woman bureau chief Azizah Harun said many housewives had called her up after seeing the decorations which carry the logos of Singaporean telecommunication companies and television.
“No one should be ridiculed in such a manner by picking recycling decorations from Singapore,” she said on Friday (Sept 27).
Azizah said locals felt insulted that materials discarded by others were being used to decorate the streets here.
She said the state could have engaged talented locals to create intriguing decorative pieces instead.
“They should look at how Little India in Singapore has been transformed for the festival of lights,” she said, adding that her association had a number of sculptures and artists who could decorate Little India on Jalan Bendahara on a voluntarily basis.
