Mostly virtual events to celebrate Chap Goh Meh

Organisers are going online in presenting the Chap Goh Meh celebration to culminate the Lunar New Year festive season. In this picture, musicians from the True at Melaka Creative Association were performing live during a Chinese New Year festive party that was live-streamed on Facebook.

PETALING JAYA: Today’s Chap Goh Meh or Yuan Xiao, the last day of the Chinese New Year celebrations, will depart from the norm – there will be no traditional tossing of mandarin oranges, public prayers or large-scale celebrations.

But the special occasion will still be celebrated as organisers go online to keep its traditions alive.
