(2)
Where the ancestral worship is to be carried out in some country other than Sarawak and there is either no person living in that country who is qualified to carry out the worship or where, owing to the smallness of the funds available or other reason, it is unreasonable to expect the person who can carry out the worship to proceed to that country, it shall be deemed to be a sufficient cause to enable the Court to exercise the powers conferred by subsection (1)
(3)
Where any specific property has been left for the purposes of ancestral worship, the High Court may order that the disposition be varied by the substitution of other property for the specific property disposed.
