Kids at risque 'Hungry Ghost' shows

A voluptuous performer on stage bends down and flaunts her ample cleavage to a male spectator with greying hair.
In return, he tucks a hongbao (red packet) in between her breasts.
The risque act is part of a getai performance at this year's Hungry Ghost Festival in Admiralty, Singapore.
The well-endowed woman is a performer from China called Luo Man.
The man who 'tipped' her on the other hand, is reportedly the manager of the seventh month committee.
While acts like these have been called cheap and tawdry, some parents are still bringing their children to watch the performances.
"It's good entertainment," said Ng, housewife who brought her nine-year-old son, Faven Chew to watch the performance at Admiralty on Monday night.
The mother-of-two, who was again at a getai show in Geyland with her son last Thursday, added: "We get a chance to watch it only once a year."
Ng said her son grew up watching VCDs of getai performances.
It came as no surprise then, when a grinning Chew exclaimed that the getai shows were "good!".
"You want to die?" his mother snapped at him in Hokkien.
