In Malaysia, Chap Goh Mei is not an official public holiday. It is also known as the Lantern Festival or Yuan Xiao Jie. Chap Goh Mei is the Hokkien term for the 15th night of the Lunar New Year, marking the end of Chinese New Year celebrations. It is sometimes regarded as a Chinese version of Valentine’s Day, as unmarried women traditionally write their names and contact details on mandarin oranges and throw them into rivers in hopes of finding a partner.
