A local resident has perfectly captured the Singaporean spirit by prioritising “bad karma” over the fact that his HDB walkway was literally turning into a portal to hell.

Rather than using a fire extinguisher, the brave netizen did the most logical thing: he uploaded a photo to a Facebook complaint group to crowdsource his moral compass.

“I wanted to save the block from incinerating, but I didn't want the underworld’s Inland Revenue Authority to audit my soul for interference,” the resident basically implied.

Helpful netizens suggested that preventing a massive fire hazard is generally considered a “plus” in the celestial ledger, unlike blocking a public path with an unattended crematorium.

Town Councils reminded residents that while burning paper money is tradition, char-grilling the common property tiles is a great way to ensure your security deposit doesn't follow you to the afterlife.

If you’re worried about spirits, be more afraid of the living Karens who will haunt you for life if you touch their ash.
