KUALA LUMPUR – This year marks a return to the Valentine’s Day we know and love after two years of couples and potential dates being stuck indoors due to several movement restrictions imposed in the country.

Some couples had it worse as their partners were stuck in another state or country, unable to return home to be with their spouses.

But this year, Valentine’s Day celebrations are back with much fervour after the relaxation of certain health SOPs.

Over the weekend and today, couples have been dining together with bountiful gifts such as flowers, chocolates and the occasional soft toys.
