The Best & Worst Of Festivities and Celebrations

With Chinese New Year just around the corner, we revisit an interview from 2020 about the myths and traditions involved with the festival, and then open up our phone lines to talk about festive periods as a whole! From food and family, to traffic and noise, we talk about both our favourite, and least favourite, elements of festive celebrations in Malaysia.
