WHILE the Qing Ming festival will be a muted affair this year for the Chinese community, a wide variety of paper paraphernalia for departed ones like vaccines, face masks, hand sanitisers and medicine are still available in the shops.

At a prayer paraphernalia shop in Rangoon Road, Penang, sets of the essentials are among the latest paper paraphernalia items that are being offered for Qing Ming this year.
