Chinese New Year Reflections Featured in Lianhe Zaobao

28 January 2018

Iconomy founder Boo Kok Chuon (巫国俊) was featured in a Lianhe Zaobao’s Chinese New Year special examining the traditions, memories and experiences associated with the festive season.

Published under the headline 《品尝那股很浓的文化》, the feature captured Boo’s reflections on Chinese New Year as a period centred on family reunion, food and the cultural traditions surrounding the celebration.

He recalled the importance of the reunion dinner and the distinctly festive atmosphere created by familiar customs, foods and family gatherings, while reflecting on how these experiences form part of the cultural memory carried from one generation to the next.

The feature forms part of Iconomy’s historical media archive, documenting an earlier and more personal side of its founder beyond business and professional commentary.
