Actual charm used above a HDB apartment

[Cecil Lee]

Dear All,
This is a typical charm used often by some Chinese above their main door.
The picture shows a 2 room government Housing Development Board flat with a yellow charm.
It is also interesting that few if every paint their grille gate yellow. Looks like this is a toaist or buddhist family - with high inclinations to their religion.
Typically, this type of family are those that has their mother tongue in Mandarin and has altar in their home. Normally, family members would burn incense daily, also.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Once a while.. one sees a gate painted in yellow and or the main door also painted in yellow....

Chinese from two different flavours...

Left: Still Chinese (red) deep inside.
Right: Certainly have an altar in their home....

Thanks for the photo. More for their protection. Not an issue
