To listen to CNY music, tune to....

FM100.30. Malaysian Radio channels play the new year songs. I have no idea why all the Chinese language radio channels in Singapore do not play them. Does Singaporean do not like the music or just our DJs refusing to celebrate Chinese New Year? The malls have the music and this add to the festive moods. It will be nice to get the festive songs in the car or at home through radio.

Is it because if the radio plays the CNY songs, the malls can broadcast them for free? If this is true, I feel sorry for the licence authority who spoil our moods. They should get a life instead of trying to squeeze more money from the public.

True. I don't feel the Chinese New Year festive mood this year. Those authorities are really short-sighted. Remember, music affects ppl's mood. If the music is good, customers will be attracted to the store, and mayb make impulse purchase. The more purchases, the stronger the economy as consumers are buying more things. Let's face it, most practical Singaporeans won't spend their money unneccessary since CNY is only 15 days celebation.

Ya, Malaysians are lucky in this aspect. The other channel is Ai FM 104.X (X because I forgot the number). Lots of CNY music and new New Year songs.

You are spot-on on the festive spirit and atmosphere. Once it is there, it is easier to open the wallet just like today for me. I was in Bugis St and bought some stuff due to the festive air. Some things I probably do not need.
