How to fold the banana leaf after your meal?

^^ Osup!
Savour the finger lickin’ good banana leaf rice? Yes, me too! And I just had mine. But do you know how to deal with the leaf on your table when you are done with your meal? As for me, I always got confused on which direction I should fold. Should it be downwards? Or upwards? And I finally got the answers:-
Upwards???

No….no….no…..I bet the owner of the curry house will be upset seeing you folding it this way. This would mean that their food is not nice and you are not satisfy with the meal served.
Downwards???

So, to avoid getting those weird stares from the owner, you fold it downwards (or folding it towards you) and I bet that they will be smiling at you. By folding the leaf downwards is actually complimenting their food (nice and satisfactory). So, if you were the owner, of coz you’ll be smiling to see all the leaves folding downwards, rite?
P/S: See??? Told ya, I have always got confused which is the right way to fold the leaves. Thanks for the correction, peeps. I have already amend it accordingly. The mistake earlier is very much regretted.
