(From left) During Hungry Ghost month, small communities like this group of Star Media Group Berhad employees in Penang will form Phor Thor committees to hold their own do; biscuits are tossed to the ground for child ghosts who cannot reach the food offered on the table; joss paper money is burned so netherworld beings can receive them.
LET me tell you a ghost story. Long ago in a small town in Perak, a woman and her young son died in a car accident and were reborn as hungry ghosts.
In unspeakable suffering, they returned to their home and found that they could not go in.
