Oh and to answer Danny's question - no I don't >_<

The reason: although I'm Chinese, my grandfather who came from China had no such tradition back home since my great grandfather's family was so poor (same reason why they migrated).. 
.
Oh and I mentioned Soeharto's ban on Chinese culture before, I'd like to correct that here, sorry for the mistake ^^

I WAS trying to find this very cute Japanese Rat picture to link it here - I remember seeing it recently on Japanese TV. It was the cutest rat I have EVER seen !!! Japanese can really make ANYTHING cute!

When I typed "Cute Rat" into Google Images I accidently found this:

Oh well, still pretty cute (and pimpin)
I guess you'll just have to use your imagination for that New Year's Rat, eh?

Huhu, in Malaysia, ang pao can be received twice a year. One during Chinese New Year, one during Eid Mubarak (Hari Raya Aidilfitri in Malay language). For Chinese, if they go to Muslim house during Eid Mubarak, there are high chance that they will received ang pao (but for Eid Mubarak, its "duit raya" in Malay language), and for Muslims. if they go to Chinese house during Chinese New Year, they also can received ang pao
