Chinese New Year is ringing in everyone's house. There are only two days left according to the calendar date. After two days, everyone will celebrate the Chinese New Year or Chinese Raya festival. That's why every city, shopping mall and house in Malaysia is decorated with colorful Chinese special fabrics. Although the last two years have been celebrated in a very domestic manner due to the Corona Epidemic and government regulations, it is understood that this year's Chinese New Year will be celebrated in a grand manner like the previous years of Corona Epidemic.
The Chinese celebrate the first day of the lunar year as the New Year. This festival is called 'Chun Ji'. The Chinese follow their own calendar. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post. Because this date changes every year! According to the calendar, the Chinese New Year is starting from the 1st of February this year. The Chinese New Year and spring arrive at the same time.
The Chinese New Year festivities begin with the celebration of Christmas in the last month of the year, leaving only formalities. Gradually, the wave of the festival spread among the Chinese scattered abroad. In its continuation, the wave is ignited even among the three-nation country (Malay, Tamil, Chinese) Malaysian Chinese.
In other countries, only the Chinese celebrate the festival, but in the tourist city of Malaysia, other nations, including the Malaysian Chinese, have a slightly different hope. Because Chinese New Year in Malaysia means long vacation and big bonus. In Malaysia, where foreign workers often do not even get a day off on Eid, most mill owners are Chinese, so the Chinese keep their company closed for about a week or two, even though it is officially a two-day holiday on Chinese New Year. In some organizations, double bonus is equal to the salary. However, due to the Corona epidemic, the last two years did not bring that opportunity to the fortunes of many, but this time the restrictions are a bit relaxed and many are optimistic because of the business boom.
Oranges are not seen anywhere in the whole of Malaysia throughout the year, but oranges are imported from different countries. Because without orange that New Year is useless. Oranges are scattered in Malaysia on Chinese New Year. All the workers working under the Chinese owners and all the Chinese suppliers give oranges as gifts to all their customers.
They name the new year after each animal. The names of 12 specific animals are kept in circulation for one year. This year, according to the Chinese calendar, the Chinese New Year is coming as the year of the tiger. The other 11 animals are: rat, bull, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, rooster, pig, dog and bear.
The beauty of Malaysia, the most famous tourist city in Asia, can never be described or written down. If the green land of this beauty is re-arranged with one's own hands, then the whole country is like a dream come true. Right now, the whole of Malaysia seems like a dream come true. Because a few days later, the biggest Chinese festival in Malaysia is 'Chinese New Year' (Gong xi fa cai).
