CHINESE New Year holds a special place in teacher Michael Rajoo’s heart.

“Celebrating Chinese New Year is not a matter of getting ang pow, but it is to treasure the importance of family and the beauty of a Chinese civilisation’s values about life, ” says the teacher from Catholic High School (CHS), Petaling Jaya.
