The Longest Yee Sang in Malaysia?

Image taken from: thecoverage.my

We at MCM try our best to pick out the most interesting news for our fans, and in light of the upcoming Chinese New Year, we came across a rather not-so-old piece of news regarding Yee Sang. Apparently, for the Chinese New Year in 2013, people came together to join 1,000 tables to make the longest spread of Yee Sang along Jalan Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur. The Yee Sang spread was measured at 999 metres long. 

You may ask, how do we know that it's CNY 2013? Well, we trawled all over the Internet and found this reference to a "World Record 999 meters LO HEI function" that supposedly took place on Sunday 17th February 2012, according to lungmu.blogspot.my. Okay, the year does not tally, but the post on the blog started by mentioning the Year of the Snake, which corresponds with the starting of the Chinese lunar year in 2013. 

Anyway, we also checked World Guinness Record's site, and it does not mention WORLD's longest Yee Sang. There's almost 600 entries if you search "longest yee sang" on the World Guinness Record's site. 

It is still Chinese New Year. You can order MCM's Red Box Prepacked Yee Sang at our e-store on Dinasou.com.
