  7. Local governments across China have provoked an outcry on social media by cracking down on the burning of joss paper and other offerings during this year’s Qing Ming Festival - a tradition they have described as "feudal superstition". The city of Nantong in the eastern province of Jiangsu announced a ban late last month on the manufacturing and selling of spirit money, joss paper and other supplies for the holiday, also known as tomb-sweeping day. The ban aims to “promote funeral and burial reforms” and advocate for "civilised" customs and practices, according to an announcement released last week. The city warned of fines, administrative penalties and even criminal prosecution for those found violating the rules. During Qing Ming Festival, Chinese families visit the tombs of their ancestors, clean their gravesites and make ritual offerings to the dead in a solemn ceremony of remembrance. Offerings typically include traditional food dishes and the burning of joss sticks, incense paper, and paper replicas of items such as mansions, cars, and luxury bags for ancestors to use in the afterlife. This is not the first time authorities have targeted Qing Ming rituals with bans or other restrictions. China’s Cabinet, the State Council, banned manufacturing and sales of joss paper and similar items in 2012, when it revised the country’s funeral management regulations. Local governments then revised their own policies based on the national rules. However, these prohibitions went largely unnoticed by the public until Nantong’s announcement on WeChat a week ahead of this year’s holiday, which fell on Thursday. The announcement sparked an uproar on Chinese social media with many users defending the preservation of folk customs and objecting to what they saw as a one-size-fits-all regulation. "(The authorities) talk about preserving culture and traditions ... while they keep imposing bans on this and that," one commenter wrote on the Chinese social media platform Weibo. "Future generations will have no idea what the true and normal traditions are." Another said: "Some (traditions) still need to be complied with, and it is the only way we can find solace to express our longing for departed loved ones."

In 2021, Nantong recorded a total of 210 incidents related to the holiday, including 121 fires, according to an article published by city authorities that year. Local governments across China have been promoting "civilised rituals" in recent years and have issued bans on "superstitious" activities during traditional Chinese holidays such as Qing Ming Festival, the Hungry Ghost Festival and Chinese New Year. Heyuan in Guangdong province, Xunyang in Shaanxi province, and a district of Ezhou in Hubei province also announced prohibitions this year. In addition to banning the production and sale of ritual supplies, some governments have prohibited mournful music, the burning of joss paper, the construction of mourning halls and displaying of corpses in public. Following the ban, Nantong authorities urged people to honour the dead “in a modest and non-extravagant manner, using simple and plain methods” and to adopt environmentally friendly practices. "(We should) integrate the remembrance of the deceased with the promotion of exemplary family values, shifting the focus from physical tomb-sweeping to spiritual inheritance, and consciously resist feudal superstitious practices and advocate for a civilised new culture," they said. The ban prompted a dissent from the country’s state-run media, with China National Radio calling the measure “too crude and heavy-handed”. "In people’s everyday perception, burning joss paper is just one aspect of tomb-sweeping, similar to offering flowers as an expression of remembrance. It cannot be regarded as a feudal superstition," the radio network’s news channel said. "This kind of management is rigid, impractical, and lacks human touch. It should be treated with caution." An official from the Nantong Municipal Civil Affairs Bureau said the ban was issued in the interest of “spiritual civilisation construction and environmental protection” and was based on relevant laws and regulations, according to China National Radio. "It is unrelated to the solemn remembrance and respect that people have for their ancestors," the official said. "We emphasise the prohibition of manufacturing and selling in terms of market behaviour, but there is no mention of prohibiting the use." https://www.channelnewsasia.com/asia/china-city-ban-joss-paper-feudal-superstitions-qing-ming-festival-4245091

  20. Microsoft has acquired a plot of land in Johor, Malaysia, likely for a data center. Local property development firm Crescendo Corporation Berhad (CCB) this week announced it had sold a 102,560 sqm (1.1 million sq ft) plot of land in the Pulai area of Johor to Microsoft. CCB’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Panoramic Industrial Development Sdn. Bhd., has entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement with Microsoft Payments (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. for a cash consideration of RM132,471,276 ($27.9m). The deal is expected to complete in Q4 2042. According to CBB, the land can only be used for a medium industry area for the purposes of data center and associated uses. Microsoft announced plans for a Malaysian Azure cloud region in Kuala Lumpur back in 2021; the region is still listed as “coming soon” on the company’s website. Johor, located in Malaysia’s south, is just across the border from Singapore. Though Singapore is starting to ease restrictions around its ongoing moratorium on new data center developments, Johor has grown a sizeable data center market of its own as developments overspill from the city-state. Other developers and operators in Johor include PDG, AirTrunk, Equinix, Keppel, ChinData's Bridge DC, and Yondr. Microsoft opened its Singapore Azure cloud region in 2010; the region has three availability zones. The company was selected as one of four companies granted permission to build new data center capacity in Singapore last year. Crescendo Corporation has previously sold land in Johor to STT GDC for a data center development. Microsoft acquires land in Johor, Malaysia, for data center - DCD (datacenterdynamics.com)

  23. The passengers looked concerned. A Tower Transit bus went the wrong way and the bus captain made an illegal U-turn at a Sembawang traffic junction to return to the correct route on March 30. Stomper Daniyal, who was a passenger, shared a video of bus service 883 at the junction of Canberra Way and Canberra Crescent at around 1.30pm. A nearby sign said that U-turns were allowed there only for vehicles not exceeding 2,500kg in unladen weight. As the bus was making the U-turn, the light changed and pedestrians can be seen in the video crossing the road dangerously close to the bus, which was encroaching onto their path. The Stomper had boarded the bus outside Yishun MRT station and was headed for Block 108 Canberra Street. He recounted that at the junction of Canberra Street and Canberra Way, the bus was supposed to continue straight ahead on Canberra Street but instead turned left into Canberra Way. "The passengers were concerned by the route taken by the captain," said the Stomper. To their relief, the bus captain realised the error and made the U-turn at the next junction to return to Canberra Street. The Stomper made it to his destination. Stomp has contacted Tower Transit for more info.
