CNY was usually a non event in this institute. A cursory greeting might be made during assembly. Last year I hosted a dinner for staff and lecturers. Just dinner and some karoeke of Chinese songs. This year, the Chinese students approached me and requested to be included in the celebrations. So for the first time in this institute, CNY was celebrated in a grand manner. There was a cultural display of Chinese dances and even a lion dance troupe!!
With the organising committee - even the student dressed as 'god of prosperity'!!

The chinese community in Keningau were most supportive - besides sponsoring the lion dances, they donated ten boxes of mandarin oranges. Even Chinese schools sent their dancers to add colour to the event. We even had fireworks display. It was awesome.
