00:57 The open house, which started at 10am, featured a variety of performances and a delicious
01:02 spread of local food.
01:03 Thousands of people from all walks of life joined in celebrating the joyous occasion.
01:11 I'm quite happy to be here. This is a true Malaysian spirit, true Malaysian multiracial
01:19 function. So I brought my children today to experience all about multiracial unity in
01:26 this country. So I'm so proud to be Malaysian. I'm so happy, glad to be, to join this function.
01:32 So I met all sort of Malaysians, Chinese, Indian, you know, Malays especially. And then
01:37 the food that we had is all Malaysian food. Okay, so I'm so glad about it. I'm so happy.
01:43 I've been to many functions like this. So usually, I come here alone. But this time,
01:49 I brought my children to experience the Chinese New Year celebration.
01:58 The atmosphere is so harmonious. When I see all the people, even the foreigners, it
02:07 feels like I'm in Malaysia. It's so harmonious.
02:13 Yeah, I really appreciate this kind of environment, the ambience, where all kind of races and
02:20 all walks of life coming together to celebrate Chinese New Year. I think we saw Prime Minister
02:28 and several Cabinet Ministers who also attended this event. I think this has been the tradition
02:34 for MCA and I hope this kind of practice will continue, especially for the unity of the nation.
