KUALA LUMPUR – Chinese New Year celebrations this year seem to be more lively than previous years as more are able to celebrate the grand occasion compared to the last two years due to the pandemic.
Then, celebrations with families were a matter of uncertainty, especially for those living abroad.
Once the country’s borders were reopened gradually from late last year, many took the opportunity to return home for the 2022 Chinese New Year celebrations.
Today, the Chinese community ushered in the Year of the Tiger which is seen as giving hope that the country will recover from any uncertainty.
Hopefully, the Year of the Tiger will also roar the country’s economy to recover and improve the people’s well-being.
