Mandarin oranges for CNY more ap-peel-ing thanks to fruitful harvest season

GEORGE TOWN: Sweeter yet easier on the pockets, this year’s mandarin oranges (lokam) are going to put a big smile on the faces of consumers.

The lower prices mean everyone can have a share of the bumper crop and delight in having the Lunar New Year must-have, which is also loved for its Chinese name “kam” that rhymes with the word for “gold”.
