With CNY coming up, it’s time for your controversial opinions. So what are your CNY hot takes?

The best part of yu sheng is the biscuits and I take they should sell them separately for rest of the year

Netizens’ comments

1. We should get 15 days of public holiday plz gahmen thanks
   And since we are multiracial, we should share more per ph lol
2. I think it’s ok to not visit relatives that you don’t contact for the other 364 days of the year.
   I mean come on la, Singapore is so small and if we can’t make an effort to meet each other on the other days then I really don’t think there’s a need for me to go visit my relatives that I only meet once a year.
   We’re probably closer to our friends or even colleagues than them tbh.
3. There is no reason to buy new clothes just for the sake of Chinese New Year. This dates back to olden days when people were poorer and may not be able to afford new clothes. Hence, there started a tradition to dress new clothes to start new year because they didn’t buy new clothes throughout most of the year. Now, we aren’t as poor to be able to buy new clothes once a year.
   This is an outdated tradition.
4. Cny cannot sweep floor. Ok lor I arm myself with vacuum cleaner. Come on.. so many people walk in walk out and kids dropping crumbs.. you wan pickup dirt by dirt meh.
5. Just becos u gave me and ang pow doesn’t mean you disrespect and judge by asking about my singlehood, job etc. take ur 10 dollars, fold it into a cylindrical shape, lube it with olive oil and shuv it up yours
6. It’s perfectly ok to not want to spend time with your family if you don’t want to
7. Feel free to give me red packets that end with 4 or odd numbers or with coins.
8. Hosting for guests is a lot of prep work before and after they visit. I rather be invited to someone elses house.
9. it is weird to give ang paos to your unmarried sibling who is 2 years younger than you.
10. it is also weird to receive ang paos from my married cousins 2 years older than me.
    can we just give ang paos to whoever we want to treat with respect (like elderly, parents, aunts/uncles) and children?
