Festivities are meant as a celebrated event. In the spirit of 1Malaysia, these festivities are supposed to be enjoyed by everyone- no matter whether they are involved firsthand or not. Regrettably, some of these ‘street celebrations’ have interfered with the daily rituals of several residents.
When certain communities performed their religious acts like offering feasts of food to honour the dead, they performed it in front of other people’s houses. The whole process of cutting, cooking, washing and cleaning is done in front of those houses. The whole neighbourhood reeks of stagnant smells of food that are not cleared thoroughly even after the whole celebration is finished.
This deeply disrupts the residents and denies them from the comfort of their own home. They might stand the noise but the odours are a different story. It is understandable that they are having a celebration and there is nothing wrong in enjoying the festivities but I do not think it is wise to perform these activities in front of other people’s homes. The geographical factors need to be determined properly. It is hoped that the authorities act fast.
*The issue was taken from an e-mail. I am seconding the issue as an effort to help these residents have their rights voiced out.
