As for me, I had a wonderful day seeing major shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur dressed in "red" during the Chinese New Year festive season - so I will continue to explore & explore Kuala Lumpur / Klang Valley during this time of the year carrying with me a Chinese New Year festive mood ! Likewise, if you are a tourist be it local or foreign, make a date & come & explore Kuala Lumpur & enjoy your visit here as 2020 is a Visit Malaysia year !
