What’s Chinese New Year celebrations without the perennial ‘Lou Sang’, the tossing of ‘Yee Sang’, a vibrant platter of salmon, condiments and sweet sauce. The dish, of Malaysian origin, is a symbol of a year of good luck. I joined Symantec Malaysia for a special luncheon at Spring Garden Tropicana Restaurant, Tropicana Golf and Country Resort, together with close to 150 Symantec business partners and members of the media.

Aside from the scrumptious 8-course lunch, there were prizes given out for trivia questions to the channel partners. All in all, a great lunch and opportunity to meet with some new people from the Symantec team, to catch up with familar faces from the media and the team from Cohn&Wolfe XPR.
