Bandar Seri Begawan - Eleven senior citizens at the Seria old folks home were not forgotten as members of the Chinese community celebrated the Lunar New Year.

The president of the Brunei Chinese Chamber of Commerce and the newly-appointed registrar of the Chinese Marriages Bureau of Tutong and Belait, Pehin Bendahari Cina Dato Paduka Onn Siew Siong, recently made a goodwill visit to the old folk's home, and cheered the residents there with "ang-pows" and festive delicacies.

The visit was part of Pehin Onn's efforts to help the less fortunate in the country.

On Sunday morning, members of the Foochow Association, led by Chairman Tan Tei Tei, made a similar visit to the Seria old folks home. They also handed out "ang-pows" and Chinese New Year titbits for the elders at the home.
