It's not relaxing. You have to conduct ceremonies, host events for the believers, chant at void deck funeral wakes etc.

There are some Burmese monks at a 'temple' located in a shophouse at West Coast, they 'book in' or 'book out' at specific timings.

Everything is more expensive in Sinkieland.

For example, Mr DIY's shower gel. RM 5.90 in Malaysia, $3.30 Sinkie dollars here.

Even if you factor in transport costs to ship the goods here, that's almost a 100% markup.
