文化背景

Ironing is considered a basic life skill. Even young children are taught to iron their own school uniforms to instill a sense of discipline and neatness. When visiting a pagoda, it is culturally respectful to wear well-ironed, clean traditional attire. Wrinkled clothes can be seen as a lack of devotion. In the workplace, a crisp, ironed shirt is often more important than the brand of the clothing. It signals that the person is reliable and detail-oriented. With frequent electricity blackouts, 'Mee Pu Tite' has become a strategic activity. People iron as soon as the power comes back, regardless of the time of day.
