GEORGE TOWN: Gold and silver bars and joss paper bouquets are among the most sought-after Qing Ming paraphernalia this year as families honour their loved ones who passed away.
Angeli Choo, 57, who runs a shop in Rangoon Road here selling prayer items, said gold and silver bars are in demand this Qing Ming, or Chinese All-Soul’s Day, likely because families want their dearly departed to enjoy a prosperous afterlife.
