THE joyful celebration of Chinese New Year (CNY) comes to an end today, the 15th day of the first lunar calendar month which is also known as Chap Goh Meh.

Today may signify the last day of Chinese New Year celebrations but it is more widely known as Chinese Valentine’s Day among Malaysians when singles would hope to find a suitable partner.
