On 17 February, the first day of the Year of the Horse, joyful Chinese New Year gongyo meetings were held nationwide, with members gathering in a vibrant and festive atmosphere.
Pre-recorded New Year greetings from SGM General Director Koh Sia Feai, men’s division leader Looi Chee Choong, women’s division leader Chan Yin Kwan, young men’s division leader Siow Yoon Kee and young women’s division leader Koo Wei Qian extended heartfelt wishes to members nationwide, adding to the celebratory spirit.
In his message, Mr Koh encouraged members to continue expanding the ranks of kosen-rufu for the sake of establishing a firm foundation for world peace and a stable society, and striving towards the goal of 8,000-youth shakubuku this year.
At the SGM Selangor Culture Centre, Sentosa assemblyperson YB Gunarajah George and Sutra Foundation chairperson Datuk Ramli Ibrahim attended alongside community leaders and representatives from various ethnic groups.

In Johor, the meetings at the state culture centre and Kulai Centre drew over 700 participants. Although a sudden downpour interrupted the outdoor segment at Kulai, performers completed their acts confidently before the event was relocated indoors.
Meanwhile, Sabah conducted simultaneous gongyo meetings at the state culture centre and three regional centres. The youth division’s lion dance uplifted spirits; the women’s division presented a graceful traditional dance; the young women’s division sang festive songs brimming with youthful energy; and a grand chorus finale brought the entire assembly to a stirring climax.
Chinese New Year is more than an ethnic festival; it is a precious occasion for family reunion and strengthening bonds of friendship. Grounded in the eternal guideline of “faith for a harmonious family,” members across the nation are inspired to advance together in the Year of the Horse, opening a new chapter in the advancement of kosen-rufu.
