GEORGE TOWN: Toss a mandarin orange into the sea on Chap Goh Meh and you might have a suitor by the next year.

At least that was what we were told and upholding that tradition is the state with its annual festivities on Saturday night (Feb 24) at the Esplanade which included mandarin orange-tossing.
