Gong Xi Fa Cai

I wish all Chinese in Malaysia Gong Xi Fa Cai. I wish you and your loved ones health and prosperity in the Year of the Ox. The Ox symbolizes prosperity through fortitude and hard work and perseverance. The typical Ox is a tolerant person with strong character that exercises resolution and fearlessness when accomplishing a task. Although we are in the midst of economic uncertainties, I am confident that if Malaysians will adopt these characteristics, we would be able to override the effects of the current situation. With this, we can certainly look forward to a better year ahead. I also take this opportunity to urge Malaysians to drive carefully when commuting to and from their home towns as well as during their visitations. Let us all celebrate this time together by renewing ties with our families and friends, including those of other races in the true Malaysian spirit of Muhibbah! Gong Xi Fa Cai!
