The likelihood is that someone is trying to break or threaten the Datuk's influence/reign over the area.

Probably a black magician or dark arts practitioner who is in league with a being or beings who are the Datuk's enemies.

The big sendoff.

Sunrise parting.

I'm a firm believer in Yin Yang, white & black, pros & cons, Gods & Devils, etc

I notice that this thread is more focused on Hell deities than Heaven deities. Perhaps there can be more discussion on Heaven deities, or should I start a new thread on that. Problem is I know very little of such things ... but am keen to know more.

They live in castles, and their body emit light. They don't sweat , they don't produce excrement. They are good looking and beautiful. There are extremely beautiful gardens there.

Hell deities are my area of expertise, but I do know a fair bit about Heavenly gods, too.

If you wish to be enlightened about anything, just ask.

So once the hell deities are sent off, the remaining hungry ghosts can linger on and wreak havoc?

Absolutely not.

They will be rounded up and brought back to Hell.

The send off is purely symbolic.

It came out in a Chinese Newspaper that the Hungry Ghost made a lot of devotees in Seremban very happy by letting them strike 2nd prize last Saturday on the number of the Ship that was burnt on Friday !!!!!!

2887

The ghosts are not the ones who have rewarded the devotees.

Being prisoners, they are in no position to grant such boons.

Who rewarded them ?

The jailers.

meaning those "guards" that jaga those ghost ?

That's right.

and it seems that those 4D "illegal" bosses are sadding now, huge payout that day !!!

Treats for the young and young at heart.

I always wondered who makes these effigies? They are very well made and very detailed. Our local craftsmen?

Can the contributor take those stuff back for own consumption after the ritual ?

If yes, how soon can they take them home ?
