GEORGE TOWN: The auspicious day of Li Chun, which marks the beginning of spring in East Asian cultures, drew crowds of believers to banks here as they deposited money in hopes of ushering in prosperity.

With a stack of cash in hand, 45-year-old businessman Desmond Tan was among those who deposited RM900 into his account at a bank along Lebuh Pantai, continuing a ritual he has observed for years.
