KOTA KINABALU: There are no big parties and house visits this Chinese New Year but that does not stop parents from making sure their children enjoy the holidays and treasure this festive season with other fun activities. For accountant Chong Lee Kian, 34, Chinese New Year is all about knowing traditions and fostering closer family ties, not so much the parties or open houses. “Of course, when times were better, we enjoyed bringing our kids for house visits with their new clothes on, letting them meet with their other cousins, have fun and get ang pows, ” she said. But due to the pandemic, all has changed and it was important for her to make sure that her sons still get to experience what the Lunar New Year is all about.
