September’s not an auspicious month for Chinese weddings


JOHOR BARU: Long weekends and significant dates like 9/9 (Sept 9) are typically popular for weddings but most Chinese couples are avoiding tying the knot in September this year despite having four public holidays this month.

Johor Baru Tiong-Hua Association deputy president Datuk Kelvin Lee said this September was an unpopular month to get married as it coincided with the Chinese ghost month according to the lunar calendar.
