Maybe Migara is having wealth enough. that's why he's not worried about the cost of living. but It isn't the same for the rest of the population in the country. He should find out how a living today is difficult. regret for not seeing the reality.

Smashing coconuts have nothing to do with any religion, they are superstitious practices by the gullible and foolish. In which religious or holy book do they say to smash coconuts? None.
As humans advance in the evolutionary scale, most of this nonsense would stop when they come to a realization how foolish they are to indulge in meaningless practices.

I am sure it is a waste. Let make coconut rock I love them. Treat the kids in some care homes. God will like that instead of blocking the drains and let dengue spread.
