Altars in public spaces
-
Aug 19, 2011 - ST Forum
I HAVE observed the proliferation of prayer altars in void decks, senior citizens' corners, wet markets and hawker centres.
These common areas are shared by residents of all races, language and religion, and are used for occasions such as weddings, parties and funerals.
Why are the authorities allowing these structures to be erected in common spaces?
Apart from cultural sensitivities, this practice is unfair to those who have bid for public land to build their own houses of worship.

Just let them be, lah.
Those of a different religion have their own artifacts here and there, but like to complain of others.
