The Chinese New Year festival was very much celebrated in Kuala Belait on Thursday morning with red coloured displays in every home as well as frequent lion dance performances in schools, houses and supermarkets.

A number of government officials in the Belait District as well as friends and relatives recently thronged to the open house of a business proprietor, Mr Wong Ming Ching to enjoy the Chinese New Year celebration.

An excellent Shaolinesque lion dance performance by students of the Chung Ching Middle School was also featured.

There were also lion dance performances at the residence of Mr Loo Soon Nin, owner of Seria Yick Fatt Supermarket and the second Chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.

A large number of Malay visitors and friends also flocked to Mr Loo's residence for the open house, part of an annually held tradition to further enliven the Chinese New Year celebrations.
