 PETALING JAYA: Unlike past Chinese New Year celebrations, some businesses are now extending their operating hours to cater to last-minute customers as well as to recoup losses from previous pandemic-related lockdowns.

With the festive season fast approaching, business owners said some people have yet to find the time to shop due to work commitments and would be making 11th hour preparations.
