THE habit of sending Chinese New Year greeting cards via snail mail is not exactly what it used to be.
Technology has taken over with many conveying their festive greetings by sending e-cards via email, WhatsApp and other social media platforms.
However, there are still some who believe that personal touch is important and would never fail to post greeting cards to their relatives and friends every year.
Insurance manager Gary Goh, 39, said he has never missed out on sending physical Chinese New Year greeting cards to his clients since he started business 17 years ago.
