It is obvious that the wesak pandals are part of wesak festival for a considerable time period. But there is no point in buying the wesak lanterns which are made of synthetic or plastic materials. Thus these synthetic lanterns are causing the severe environmental issues. Therefore instead of buying the plastic or synthetic lanterns. the persons who wish to decorate their houses with the lanterns should be prompted to buy the lanterns being made of bamboo and other perishable materials

Cut down on unnecessary expenses. Instead of pandas cook and give food to the needy.

Downsize and Upgrade Health Care Sunday, 19 May 2024 06:49 AM
I so agree. Downsize, decorations in smaller sizes and excess monies to upgrade healthcare facilities and some food items for the needy. It will go a long way and more will benefit from such noble activities. These beautiful decorations will be dismantled or destroyed in a few weeks time and all forgotten unlike healthcare equipment will be there for years!

Haven’t be been doing what you say for ages? Do they ever reform? NO! They reproduce at a rate, expecting others to feed them , free housing, free education, free medicine. The free mouths multiply and the ones who feed them declines (due to financial reasons) someday we are going to hit a dead end ! And that day is very close!!
