CNY Mythbusters: Jesus, Firecrackers & Yee Sang!

What this episode covers

As Chinese New Year approaches, many Chinese Christians in Malaysia still find themselves caught between cultural traditions and their faith. In this special episode of Chin Up, Pr Kenneth Chin sits down with Pr Sarah Fong, a first-generation Christian and Acts Kids Pastor, along with Elder Shirley Wong, the Church Plant Coordinator for the Mandarin Community in Acts Church, to discuss the superstitious beliefs that some believers continue to follow during the festivities.From not sweeping the floor on the first day to firecrackers, the Chinese zodiac, and even the deeper meaning behind popular dishes like Yee Sang—how should Christians navigate these traditions? Why do we celebrate Chinese New Year, and what’s the best way to approach it as believers? Join us for this CNY Mythbusters episode as we separate culture from superstition, dive into festive practices, and discover how to honor both heritage and faith with biblical wisdom!
