A crowd of more than a hundred people had a joyful get-together to celebrate the Chinese New Year at the Kempas Apartment in Cheras Hartamas on the Feb 16.

 

 

Young and old, Chinese and non-Chinese joined in the celebration organized by Malaysian Christian Youth Association (MCYA), the local ADUN and “Badan Pengurusan Kempas”.

It started at 11.00am with a lively lion dance to heighten the atmosphere, followed by a lunch and the much-awaited lucky draw.

 

 

MCYA Chairman Pastor Joshua Hong stressed that the purpose of the event was to celebrate Chinese New Year with residents of the Kempas Apartment and the neighbouring multi-racial community.

 

 

He was happy that so many people turned up at the get-together, especially the non-Chinese.  This was important to promote mutual understanding for a harmonious Malaysia.

The local state assemblywoman Jenice Lee commended MCYA for organising the event because besides religious work, they also help out in doing community work to enhance the welfare of the people.

 

 

Mr. Woon, Secretary of Kempas Apartment Residence Association was happy over the success of the event as it help to create a harmonious community.  In the past no religious bodies were involved in our Chinese New Year celebration, MYCA has given us a new perspective in their involvement in the Chinese New Year celebration.
