CNY is here again.

You know when Chinese New Year (CNY) is coming. This year it’s the golden pig year.

The lantern.




The sales of Chinese oranges.






The small gold lemon trees.




And the sticks.







And the raid by our Malaysian Police on distributors/sellers for fire crackers. These are banned items in Malaysia for one reason or another.

Fireworks ban still on

PUTRAJAYA: Deputy Internal Security Minister Datuk Fu Ah Kiow has reminded the public that all firecrackers and fireworks are banned except for “Pop-Pop”, “Happy Boom” and “Magic Pop.”

He said in a statement that the ban had been in effect since 1995.

In a Kuala Lumpur magistrate’s court yesterday, a medicine shop operator was charged with possession of fireworks.

Ng Choi Nen, 48, admitted having the banned fireworks at his shop in Jalan Prima Setapak 7, Off Jalan Genting Klang, on Tuesday.

He will be sentenced on March 20.



And of course the lion dance on the actual CNY day itself, and followed by a week or so after that.
