01:04It has been a yearly event for us. Every year we are here to celebrate a Chinese New Year at
01:11Wisma MCA.
01:12This occasion, I find it is a really memorable one because it shows our unity where all the
01:20races come together and we enjoy the Chinese cuisine and we get to meet all our Chinese
01:26friends. Despite we are from different political backgrounds and we are from different other
01:33backgrounds, it's really, really very delightful to get together here and meet everyone.
01:38First time here, but it's really good. The lighting is good and the food is good.
01:42It is very fun. A lot of people are here and there are many kinds of food. Also the Prime
02:02Minister
02:03also came out. It's a very good celebration here with my uncle. We come here to join, to play together,
02:13to reunite.
02:15Besides the Prime Minister, the celebration was also attended by Deputy Prime Minister and Barisan
02:21National Chairman Datuk Seri Dr. Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, former Prime Minister and bearer MP Datuk Seri
02:29Dr. Ismail Sabri Yaakob and former MCA President Tan Sri Tan Koon Swan. MCA President Datuk Seri Dr.
