Ma Sui Wai endeavoured to participate in village affairs when asked by childhood friends
When Ma Sui Wai was young, he did not participate in the preparation of the activities in celebration of the Jiao Festival. It was not until 2006 that he started to take part in the preparation along with two close childhood friends, namely Kong Chi Yin and Ng Chi Wing the then village headman. They also took part in organizing the annual activities for celebration of the Birthday of Tin Hau. They worked in a transparent manner and each one of them undertook different tasks. For example, Kong Chi Yin kept the accounts, and Ma Sui Wai hosted the activities. They also joined other helpers in all kinds of tasks, including travelling to Shenzhen for purchase of inexpensive souvenirs. When Ma Sui Wai helped prepare for the Jiao Festival in 2006, he still had a job. Therefore, he made use of the lunch time to do some preparatory work, such as buying lanterns. Due to the shortage of funds, Ma Sui Wai and other villagers donated money. They did not do this for fame and gain, but to serve Tin Hau.
