For Malaysian actress Tong Bing Yu , Chinese New Year is her favourite holiday of the year, more so than Christmas or New Year’s Day. “No matter how busy I am, Chinese New Year is the one season where I make time for family,” the 32-year-old told M at Grand Mandarina restaurant, where she has been its celebrity ambassador for nearly a year. This year, she is not working on the first three days of Chinese New Year so she will be visiting her family in Kuala Lumpur, where she is currently based.
