Following is the translation of the Lunar New Year message delivered by the Chief Executive, Mrs Carrie Lam, today (February 4):
“The Lunar New Year is an important festival for Chinese people. It is also a time for families to get together. When the Lunar New Year approaches, many people will do their festive shopping. I also took a break from my busy schedule and went to Sheung Wan to buy some dried seafood and flowers.

“This year is the Year of the Pig. I wish you all a healthy and prosperous year ahead.”
The message is available on the Chief Executive’s website (www.ceo.gov.hk/lny_message19/eng/).
