Even for the death they do have to wear lingerie at least that is what some people’s think. Walked by the shops selling offerings to the deceased, you can find some interesting and unusual productions of stuffs. These are used by the deceased man and woman, old and young. There are the colorful ones and the plain ones and from far they looked like the real thing, Coke it is. But near to sight, they are just made of paper prints with colorful trimmings and decorated to look like a LV luggage bag. For entertainment, the mahjong sets, chess sets, dominoes and other Parker Brother’s games for the deceased to amuse themselves under six feet ground. For the fashion conscious, there are paper trendy clothes, shoes and hand bags, for those who drives, there are Mercedes Benz in paper with keys, for the tech savy young people, there are mock up PC with USB port for use in the other world.
In Penang, shops have bought huge quantities of mock bras and panties to burn as offering for the deceased during the Qing Ming Festival (tomb-sweeping festival) which started last Friday. Matching cardboard –made bras and panties in various colors and designs are snapped off the shelves. The simple design and color ones to sexy leopard skin prints are on special offer. Some bras and panties are with trimmings and decorated with tiny beautiful butterflies. The designer probably got their inspiration from the Butterflies Lovers Opera. The underwear was imported from China and at an imported price at S$1.70 a set.
Most customers find these cuts and would usually add a few sets to go with other paper clothing. For their female family members to use in the other world. These are items which are sold at huge quantities during the Tomb-sweeping festival observed every year. Just yesterday, the media TV News shared a website on virtual Tomb-sweeping ritual for young people who did not visit their loved ones in the cemetery can perform their respect on the website, all for a fee US$5.00.
Even in the other world, people believe that they lead the same lifestyles ideas and management is the same as of this world. I do not believe as the paper items turned to ashes, what is left behind is the soot! Over the other side of the world, we still have to be living a lifestyles ideas management of "materialism".
