In the capital, for example, Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin and two former prime ministers, Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad and Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, joined more than 10,000 people at the CNY open house organised by the MCA which was held at the football field at the Seri Johor flats in Cheras here.
The main streets in the capital were also free of the usual dense traffic following the exodus of much of the city folk who are taking advantaging of the festive season to go back to their hometowns.
This made moving around the city to celebrate the CNY a rather smooth affair.
