Street Calligraphy in SS2........on January 23, 2011

Writting messages of good wishes and phrases of advice on red rice-papers is one of many Chinese traditions for Chinese New Year, which falls on February 03, 2011.

These are usually hung up in homes and offices to usher in good luck and also to add to the new year atmospere. In keeping with such tradition and to encourage the learning of calligraphy, a street competion was held. This was jointly organised by MBPJ, Beautiful Gate, RTSS 2B and others, the event was held on Sunday afternoon on  23.1.2011 at the market place of SS2.
