GEORGE TOWN: Having missed a visit to his wife’s interred remains during Qing Ming earlier this year, shopkeeper Goh Hun Sim decided to make up for it by marking the coming Autumn Festival on the 12th day of the Hungry Ghost month at the Batu Gantung columbarium here.

The 63-year-old placed a large mooncake in front of his late wife’s urn and lit candles and joss sticks.
