The arrival of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month has come at a particularly difficult moment.

For many, the grief has been compounded by a growing sense of fear over facing violence or harassment in their own lives. Indeed, many already have. On the same day as the Georgia shootings, the group Stop AAAPI Hate released a report documenting 3,795 hate incidents against Asian Americans between March 2020 and February 2021 a figure the group said was likely a vast undercount.

WHEN life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Sheraton Petaling Jaya’s Yue Chinese restaurant is taking this adage to heart by adapting to the movement control order and its restrictions on dine-in to offer a takeaway reunion dinner menu for Chinese New Year.
Although the MCO could be lifted in time for the celebrations on Feb 12 and 13, it is still uncertain if groups can dine at restaurants again. As such, a specially designed takeaway menu is available for those planning to enjoy a sumptuous meal in the comfort of their home.
