Both ceremonies took place on July 5 in Tampin, in the Malaysian state of Negeri Sembilan.
The funeral was that of the mother of a local Democratic Action Party politician of Chinese origin.
On the other side of the street, an Indian family rented a hall to host a wedding.
Funerals are usually considered ominous and a jinx on new couples.
Meanwhile, the happy vibes of a wedding are often believed not to be suitable for the solemnity of funerals.

However, the politician, surnamed Wong, was more worried about his neighbour’s big day, the Malaysian news outlet China Press reported.
