Every year, businesswoman Kathy Chew who runs a childcare centre in Kuala Lumpur, looks forward eagerly to Chinese New Year.
“It’s one of my favourite times of the year – a time to get together with family, a time to remove the bad and the old, and welcome the good and the new. It’s also a time to feast, as well as visit relatives and friends,” says Chew.
