A note from the Editor<\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For many of us, Chinese New Year 2022 will be year of gratefulness. Since the pandemic lockdowns in 2020, up to the recent December 2021 floods (the worst one Malaysia has experienced in a while), there is much that I\u2019m personally grateful for.

I\u2019m fortunate because miraculously, none of my loved ones had contracted Covid despite the dangerously high number of infections. I\u2019m fortunate, not having to experience losing loved ones without saying goodbye due to being unable to accompany them in their final moments. I\u2019m fortunate because none of my family and friends had severe reactions to Covid vaccines. Neither has my loved ones\u2019 finances (or my own) were affected too severely. And most recently, I have not lost friends or loved ones to the recent floods that washed over many popular vacation spots.

I\u2019m fortunate because I\u2019m one of the lucky ones. I know many fellow Malaysians can\u2019t say the same, having lost their livelihoods, their loved ones and even opportunities for the peace of closure. Over the last two years of isolation, I\u2019ve come to realised I had so much to say and do for my loved ones. To let them know how much I appreciate them and everything they\u2019ve done that has made my life so much more blessed.\u00a0\u00a0

This sense of profound gratefulness led me to create the\u300cOpen Heart\u300d<\/strong> video, with the hope that you \u2013 dear readers \u2013 would be inspired to take action this Chinese New Year: whether it\u2019s reconciling an estranged relationship, doing something a little more special for a loved one, or simply just speaking words of affection that you\u2019ve never verbalise out loud.

Life is much too short to delay expressing how much we cherish our loved ones. So let us act now while we still can, because we never know what will come next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
