At the age of 30, Alex is the boss of a very unlikely business \u2013 kim zua<\/em>, also known as joss paper.<\/p>\n

Nestled under a HDB block in the Tiong Bahru estate, Ban Kah Hiang Trading is a family business that has now been handed over to its third generation.<\/p>\n

Alex admits that such a business is something that many of those from the younger generation would not want to take on. He says the business is \u201cvery traditional\u201d, adding that \u201cpeople have [a] modern mindset\u201d these days.<\/p>\n

This increasing secularism can be traced back to his father\u2019s era, where a number of companies shut its doors due to the lack of a successor. This makes the Ban Kah Hiang brand, which has been around for approximately 50 years, even more impressive than its newer competitors.<\/p>\n

Having witnessed this business handed down generations from his grandfather to his father, he decided to become the next successor.<\/p>\n

Even so, it was not an easy choice for Alex.<\/p>\n

A Different Path<\/strong><\/h2>\n

He recalls his childhood days where he would spend a significant amount of time at the store, helping his family out during the weekends.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cI actually had very little interest in this business, even though I picked up knowledge [about the trade] throughout the years.\u201d<\/p>\n

After graduating with an Honors degree in business management, Alex worked in the CPF Board for 4 years assessing medical claims. He then moved over to Prudential for another 2 years while having a similar job scope.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo all in all, I\u2019ve been looking at medical reports for 6 years.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wanting to venture into something new, the opportunity presented itself when Alex\u2019s father mentioned that he wanted to impart his skills to Alex. \u201cMy dad said that his health is not very good, and wants me to learn when he\u2019s still around,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n

Taking into consideration that the business has been passed down generations, Alex took up the challenge of being at the helm.<\/p>\n

Unexpected Obstacles<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shifting from a corporate job to being the boss of his own business, however, was tougher than he had imagined.<\/p>\n

There are no regular lunch breaks, and Alex admits that for the first 3 months he felt lonely \u2013 meeting other working friends for lunch was difficult and his only colleagues are his parents.<\/p>\n

Yet, it comes with its own set of perks as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have more time for my family \u2013 I don\u2019t need to apply for leave and I can go for my children\u2019s medical appointments with them. It\u2019s more flexible.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, Alex prefers running his own business, adding: \u201cYou\u2019ll get a sense of satisfaction as well when you see you hard work pay off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lunar Seventh Month<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Alex then begins to delve into the details of the 7th<\/sup> month of the Chinese lunar calendar.<\/p>\n

It starts on the 30th<\/sup> day of the 6th<\/sup> lunar month(\u516d\u6708\u4e09\u5341) at 11pm, as that is considered the next lunar day. The Chinese \u201chour\u201d(\u65f6\u8fb0), each lasts for 2 regular hours – making 11pm on the 30th<\/sup> day of the 6th<\/sup> lunar month the start of the 7th<\/sup> lunar month.<\/p>\n

This is also when the gates of hell are opened, and believers carry out prayers.<\/p>\n

“You\u2019ll see the joss sticks along the road, and candles to offer to the wandering and hungry ghosts that just came out.”<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For the rest of the lunar month, companies and temples choose an auspicious date to hold their own prayers. Common days are the third or seventh day, and the scale of these prayer sessions can be relatively large.<\/p>\n

Ban Kah Hiang Trading supplies the goods for these sessions, which often amounts to a few thousand dollars. To my surprise, their clientele includes the likes of MBS, Mandarin Oriental, and Jumbo Group of restaurants.<\/p>\n

Hungry Ghost Festival<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The actual Hungry Ghost Festival (\u4e2d\u5143\u8282) falls on the 15th<\/sup> of the 7th<\/sup> lunar month, where believers then conduct prayers for their ancestors.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the hell gates open, their ancestors also come out,\u201d Alex explains.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For their own ancestors, believers often burn a better quality of joss paper and other luxurious items such as the latest iPhones, sashimi and wines. This means that Alex’s schedule becomes less hectic afterwards, supplying goods to companies that choose to do their prayers on other days.<\/p>\n

His rest time, however, is short-lived. On the 30th<\/sup> of the 7th<\/sup> lunar month – the last day \u2013 believers will burn joss papers again before the gates of hell close.<\/p>\n

Often, customers who visit the shop are unsure of the type of joss papers to purchase. Thanks to pre-packed sets, customers can now purchase a set based on their budget.<\/p>\n

Keeping Up With The Times<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Even so, Alex reveals that the joss papers and other paper effigies sold has changed with the times – a reflection of how our society has developed as well.<\/p>\n

\"\"

From the past: Rickshaw, toiletries, make up, perfume, shirt, bottle and shoes<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

From the past: Domestic helpers, medicine, ointments, fan, jewelry<\/p><\/div>\n

This may come as a surprise to some \u2013 like it did for me \u2013 that the price of a stack of joss papers are relatively affordable, ranging from $2 to approximately $10.<\/p>\n

For other products such as wines and iPhones, they range from $2 to $6. In fact, a paper iPhone only costs $2.50.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Now: Louis Vuitton bag, milk powder formula, the latest Apple products<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Now: Fast food, make up products, luxury watches<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Now: Automated mahjong table, wine, and sashimi<\/p><\/div>\n

Larger items such as houses or bungalow, are estimated to be around $20 to $30.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of the bungalows are very detailed – you can even see furniture inside!”<\/p>\n
