Chinese New Year celebration, red packets filled with money or angpows are typically handed down to younger, unmarried family members by married couples; however the centuries-old tradition has taken a twist by younger generations who are gifting their partners angpows that can amount to thousands.
An investment guru Jack Investment posted on Facebook that he asked a man who gifted his girlfriend a RM5,200 angpow for Chinese New Year as a surprise gift, how much he gave his parents.“I don’t have enough money to give my parents this year and they are not short of money. They will understand my intentions,” the boyfriend said.
“I can understand that everyone has people they prioritise accordingly in their lives and how much one needs to prove themselves how great they are as a partner.The investment guru then pointed out how much people brag about gifting their partners large sums of angpow money but for parents, it is far and few between.
Jack also mentioned that he gives his mother an angpow every Chinese New Year from secondary school until today, with the amount increasing.
