SOP for Qing Ming still being finalised Bernama PETALING JAYA: The Chinese community will be looking to perform prayer rituals and customs at this year’s Qing Ming, also known as Chinese All Souls Day, after missing out on the festival last year. The 2,500-year-old practice to honour ancestors falls on April 4 this year. According to Chinese custom and tradition, the community will pay their respects within 10 days before and after the actual date. Last year’s Qing Ming festival had to be observed at home as the nation was facing the first movement control order (MCO) due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
