Chinese New Year marks the first day of the first new moon, and is celebrated all over Malaysia. Most of the larger towns and cities organise performances, firework displays and traditional lion and dragon dances. Most people choose to celebrate the new year with family and friends, and children often receive small gifts of money from their relatives.

A day for sweethearts to express their feeling toward one another with cards, chocolate, flowers, gifts or a simple “I love you”.
