One can just imagine how if feels to sleep in a coffin. Eerie and gross as it may seem, it looks highly improbable to convince people to try it. But for people in Malaysia, there is more to sleeping in coffins than getting respite. It is a form of getting rid of bad luck, something that most of us surely want to do especially if you are that superstitious.

The daily reported that the devotees believed that by following the ritual, their families would be blessed with prosperity and good fortune.

The ritual was common in the old days but temples in Malaysia rarely carry out such ceremonies now as coffins are still considered “not a very good thing” by the community, the daily reported.
