Cleanliness (they say cleanliness is next to godliness), respecting and being close with nature, giving blessings and taking blessings, sweetness, prosperity, sharing, unity, etc. are values that embody the great festival of Lunar New Year (Spring festival). Imbibing these values definitely infuse festivity in our life.

I have always believed that superstitions are not merely superstitions but some meaningful practices in the past that are not clearly understood in the present. Some practices have evolved and mutated into something else. Their singificances are lost in the course of time. Some practices are kind of idle now and it may not be necessary for us to adhere to them. Yet, instead of being cynical about them, we have to at least respect the “way of life” of the past generations. Doing something without knowing its meaning or significance is blind faith. But making a mockery of it wihout knowing the truth is ignorance as well. Giving respect and taking respect is the solution.

Let the winter of cold heartedness melts away and flourish into the spring of good tidings and good wishes amongst us. Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Sigurd,

One man’s meat is another man’s poison. I guess Ipohites, especially those who subscribe to Ipoh Echo, are happy with what is being carried in the country’s only community newspaper.

As a bona fide Ipohite I am mighty proud that besides limestone hills, cave temples and pomeloes we have a community newspaper to boot. The rest in the country have plenty of catching up to do.

Anyway, thanks for picking Ipoh as your choice of abode. We hope more would follow in your footsteps.

Cheers.

I am an MM2H’er living in Ipoh. I find this article fascinating with its host of superstitions and taboos. It certainly helps me have a btter insight into the customs and beliefs of the people I mingle with. I can read all about the politics and other shenanigans of what’s happening in Perak in the local dailies. What your paper needs is to be entertaining, more like a magazine and not try to follow the hard news blogs or daily newspapers. You are not in that league. I enjoy your commentaries, your food coverage, your recipes, your efforts at getting City Council to put things right but please stop trying to copy Malaysian Insider or Malaysiakini.

Living in Ipoh I want to know what’s happening in the city, new restaurants, shops,night clubs, pubs, etc. More human interest stuff.

Keep up the good work so far and I hope my comments will urge you to move to greater heights.
