KUALA LUMPUR: The Chinese community in Sabah and Sarawak are celebrating the Year of Rabbit in a lively atmosphere.
, besides hosting open houses, the Chinese community also visited temples as part of its Chinese New Year rituals and customs.
Bernama checks found that people who visited public places still adhere to the standard operating procedures to curb Covid-19, including using face masks and disinfectants, even though the SOP has been relaxed. For Lum Chi Hong, 37, this year’s celebration was more meaningful because his immediate family members, including his father who works in Singapore, were able to return to Sarawak after not being able to do so two years ago due to the cross-border restrictions.
