Yee Sang is an integral and beloved tradition among Malaysians during Chinese New Year. This practice, which involves tossing food in the air, is believed to bring prosperity and good luck in the coming year, and is a cherished aspect of the celebrations.
Anthony Loke’s link to Yee Sang
It was known that Anthony Loke’s grandfather, Loke Ching Fatt popularised Yee Sang. Furthermore, the dish apparently was from Seremban in the 1940s. Netizens were in awe to know this fact as it is important to Malaysian culture and history.
This netizen explained the link with the two as it stretches as far back as to the 1940s Seremban. Furthermore, this is not done by the Chinese in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Indonesia as it is purely a Malaysian thing.
Many Malaysians believe that if we placed more emphasis on our culture and history, we would discover fascinating and intriguing facts. However, some argue that despite this, many Malaysians tend to prioritise the consumption of their food over understanding its cultural and historical significance.
We would like to wish our readers who are celebrating this festive season a happy Chinese New Year and may this year bring all of us good fortune and prosperity.
