“The horse will soon ride on,
Let’s welcome the… hang on, is it a sheep, ram or goat?
While I can’t differentiate to whom the baa or maa belongs,
At least I know that one of them has wool that makes great winter coats.”

“In the kampung, kids will light up banned fireworks,
Perhaps to celebrate GST being an April Fools’ Day joke.
Teenagers will bury their faces further into their phones thanks to cheaper electricity,
As uncles and aunties debate goods boycott, Anwar innocent or guilty.”

“Sheep, goat, baa or maa,
May you have abundance of patience during traffic jams in the car.
Here’s wishing a New Year filled with success, joy and happiness,
Gong Xi Fa Cai to you and your family near and far.”

Happy Chinese New Year!
