It’s the year of the dragon and shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia have gone all out in getting ready to usher in a memorable Chinese New Year.
 
Not to be outdone, Kuala Lumpur International Airport are welcoming the lunar new year with a giant golden dragon sculpture. 
 
Standing tall at 12 feet in height and 25 feet in length, the hand-crafted model made of polystyrene and painted in dazzling gold is the crown jewel of KLIA’s Chinese New Year campaign themed Celestial Splendour at Terminal 1 this year.
 
The dragon which symbolises power, tradition and imperial grandeur is also accompanied by a majestic dragon throne centrepiece, taking passengers back to the glorious days of ‘Old China’.
 
The whole "Coming collapse of China" thing is a boring Western propaganda that keeps repeating and repeating and repeating. Somebody, anybody, please tell Uncle Sam, it is a futile pursuit!
 
Whether the US likes it or not, China remains the engine of growth for the global economy.
 
In Malaysia's case, we must recognise that our trade with China is already substantial, comprising over $200 billion and constituting 20% of China's total trade with ASEAN.
 
As the trade volume between China and ASEAN is projected to surpass $1 trillion this year, Malaysia could be in an advantageous position and benefit.
