For Kuala Lumpur-based entrepreneur John Yeo, and his wife, Lina Wee who is a financial analyst, it will be a quieter Christmas this year but they’re thankful that the family is safe and able to celebrate it together.

Yeo and Wee, both 38, have two young children aged two and four. Yeo’s elderly father also lives with them since the passing of his wife to cancer earlier this year.
