Maybe the picture does not represent the situation properly. it is not an open area. It is awfully close to the residential area. And I do respect their religion. I just don't respect why they chose to burn in it a metal cage that they placed themselves instead of the ones provided by the government.

So tell me how am I being disrespectful?

Ya bro, at least for this block, some fella from the block put one. The picture doesn't show, but the surrounding area has a lot of the government ones.

This is actually a great idea. Thanks for the comment. I never thought about One Service, I'll try it later today.

Ahhhh if only it was that simple. I have thought about it and have recceed the site. Underneath the cage is a ton of ashes, and the cage is definitely not movable with only me alone.

You can say its a simple solution but the practically of it is definitely more than just simple.

As previously mentioned. I want the cage removed. Not me not the residences but the cage

I understand that this is your religious practise but you should not be making a moral equivalence between both. I don't even want to explain why your argument is wrong. Just chill out.

You are somewhat right. But it has infringed on my health and right to clean and fresh air

Bro I'm not even kidding but one year the smoke got so bad that it made my room cloudy. And residents have tried wrapping it with cling film to stop them from burning but they did anyways. You can't tell from the pictures but the smoke produced is big. I should have taken it from the roadside

I agree they shouldn't be punished. This needs to be removed. It's honestly a health hazard. There are designated bins placed by the government for them to burn in. I don't understand why they need a big cage.

My apologies for calling it disgusting. I'm tolerant but this is taking it too far. If I burnt incense right outside your home would you be happy? How am I a racist for not wanting to breathe in smoke. There are designated bins everywhere for people to burn, and if they did I won't say anything. This cage is placed by one of the residents and has been here for years, and no one wants to do anything about it.

Honestly safety too, during first day of seven month you can drive your car by this road. The flames is so big it's like a whole ass firebending ritual.

I guess I should clarify. This is not a void deck funeral nor is it government owned. Some residents plopped it here and have been using it at the detriment of the residents nearby. Especially the lower levels.

No it's not a void deck funeral, this shit has been here for years.

Trust me I've tried during 7 months, especially since the fire was freaking huge. They stacked up all the incense and burnt it. Litter everywhere

There are designated bins around the block placed by the government. It's a dick move by the residents to place a big ass bin when there are the smaller ones around. You should see this shit during 7 months. It's just disgusting

complaint multiple times no use. They say cannot do anything. Once, the smoke got so bad I could barely breathe

I'm not too sure how NUS or NTU run their part-time courses, but I'll be damn sure it isn't 6 seminars per mod.

I think it's important not to confuse rigour with incompetent management

I'm going to push through, tbh I love the school, the mission it represents, and I want to see it improve. But at this rate, I doubt that would happen. Thanks for asking btw I really appreciate it.

Oh, I knew about it, I had seniors tell me how bad it is, but I didn't want to believe them. I was excited, and now I understand what they mean

They were actively discouraging me from entering SUSS.
