Penang has the most little red praying altars in their houses, at the backyards and road sides. Many traditional Chinese people believe that there are spirits everywhere, in order to appease the spirits and to ensure smooth construction of buildings and later peaceful living, they build these little red sheds/altars and offer food/prayers. This practice is also seen in Sarawak but less frequent, because many Sarawak Chinese are Christians and have discarded most traditional beliefs.
