Folk still drawn to ceramah despite ongoing Hungry Ghost Festival


JOHOR BARU: The Hungry Ghost Festival has not stopped voters from heading out for night ceramah during campaigning for the two by-elections in Johor.

According to Taoist beliefs, the annual festival, which falls from Aug 16 to Sept 14 this year, is a month-long period when the spirits of the dead roam the living world. This is a time when the gates of hell are supposedly open for 29 days.
