The celebration ended with firecrackers. Firecrackers have historically been used to frighten away evil spirits. The loud sounds and bright flashes are considered to eliminate negative energy, creating a peaceful and fortunate environment for the community. The explosive nature of firecrackers represents the destruction of obstacles and the arrival of good fortune.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-22991722 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sayfol.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/photo_6242010799346401818_y-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"photo 6242010799346401818 y\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-22991723 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sayfol.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/photo_6242010799346401819_y-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"photo 6242010799346401819 y\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-22991724 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sayfol.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/photo_6242010799346401820_y-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"photo 6242010799346401820 y\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-22991725 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sayfol.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/photo_6242010799346401821_y-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"photo 6242010799346401821 y\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-22991726 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sayfol.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/photo_6242010799346401822_y-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"photo 6242010799346401822 y\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-22991727 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sayfol.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/photo_6242010799346401823_y-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"photo 6242010799346401823 y\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-22991728 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sayfol.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/photo_6242010799346401824_y-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"photo 6242010799346401824 y\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-22991729 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/sayfol.edu.my\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/photo_6242010799346401825_y-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"photo 6242010799346401825 y\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: left\">\n<div>The celebration continued on 20th February when students and teachers gathered once again for a grand Chinese New Year Assembly to usher in the Year of the Dragon.
