Painting: A Handsome Boy, watercolour by Koh Shim Luen

At the start of the new year, a video of a group of crowing roosters “mimicking” an orchestra went viral. Millions were laughing at and sharing this video because it is funny; but it also has an auspicious message for the Lunar New Year.

Legend has it that in the old days, the Rooster was accorded a place among the 12 Chinese zodiac animals because of its crowing.
