User yoyoma88 apparently took photos of his neighbour's front gate and created a thread asking members of HWZ if it was racist of his neighbour to display ornaments of Hindu Gods. Please see attached photos, which can still be found in the forum.

I read the news recently about Hindu devotees, who have demanded that the government grant them an additional public holiday for Thaipusam and allow them to play musical instruments during the Thaipusam procession. I fully support their actions as I think all religions should have the right to freely practice their own religious rituals. In the same vein, I think Taoists should also be given more freedom to practice their own religious beliefs. Taoists should also get an additional public holiday for our festivals, none of which are "official" public holidays in Singapore.

Yesterday during the holy Thaipusam procession, there were a few incidents where music instruments were confiscated and it caused an uproar online. Singaporeans are asking why aren't devotees allowed to play musical instruments to help kavadi carriers complete their journey. There are many sayings out there claiming this and that, causing many Singaporeans to be unhappy. I thought I share my experience about this and give some explanation
