Many of us by now would be familiar seeing our Taoist and Buddhist friends, neighbours or own family members partake in the Chinese customs and rituals during The Hungry Ghost Festival.

One of the Chinese customs includes burning paper money, paper houses, paper cars and other paper items to ensure the ancestors and loved ones that have passed away are living a comfortable afterlife. These paper money and items are otherwise known as joss paper or spirit money.

In a viral video shared by a Malaysian netizen, Zheng Xin, who works as a receptionist at a hotel, she shared how shocked she was when a foreign worker attempted to pay the hotel using joss paper.

In the video, Zheng Xin can be heard telling the foreigner “This cannot be used! Look look… this is paper for the dead!”

“This is the first time I have ever encountered such a thing after working for so many years!” she wrote in her post.

“He [the foreigner] told me that he found it [ 2 joss paper, worth five million each] on the ground. He said he kept it in his pocket for a whole month!”

“Dude… The Ghost Festival is not over yet, you don’t want to scare me like this!” she joked in her post.

Zheng Xin’s post has so far garnered over 185,000 views and 2,000 likes since she first shared the video on 1 September.

Many netizens who saw her post were really amused at the incident.

“You sure the foreigner is a real person or not?” one user joked.

“I can’t believe he mistaken it for real money! Or maybe it’s just a prank? LOL” another wrote.
