GEORGE TOWN: While many have resigned themselves to it, others are not too pleased that they can only dine with their own family members to celebrate the coming Chinese New Year (CNY).
An MNC employee, Jesslyn Tan, who stays with her parents, said they would not hold any gatherings or reunion dinners.
“There is no festive mood this year. All our relatives have agreed to stay put.
“No one is going anywhere. We are all spending time with our own families.
“I will set up a nice and simple dinner with my parents on the eve of CNY, just the three of us, ” she said yesterday.
