Since 10:30 a.m., the hotel team assisted guests and passers-by to pet and have photographs taken with the gentle four adult and three baby goats. This was followed by a riveting lion dance performance by the world champion troupe, Kun Seng Keng (KSK) from Muar. To the loud sounds of the drums, gongs and cymbals, the lions cunningly showed off lively acrobatic moves, leaping on high poles with perfect swiftness and accuracy and finally picking the auspicious green ‘chai ching’ (reward or gift of a bunch lettuce and ‘ang pow’) that symbolises wealth and prosperity. Then ‘Choy san yeh’ (God of Prosperity) made a grand entrance to greet and distribute fortune cookies to guests and public. The event was also graced by Ampang Hotel Sdn Bhd’s Chairman, Tan Sri Sallehuddin Mohamed; Director, Tan Sri Syed Yusof Tun Syed Nasir; and Concorde Hotel Kuala Lumpur’s General Manager, Gary Lee.
