A new trend is picking up in Malaysia this festive season, and it involves people sending Chinese New Year greetings in a very different way.
Compared to previous years where people typically sent gifts, many have started dedicating songs along with their gifts this year.
The initiative, pioneered by song dedication service, Song Bar, lets anyone send surprise calls with a song to their loved ones.
Songs in surprise calls are typically performed by professional musicians LIVE over the phone call.
Below are 6 of the most popular gifts people have been sending along with their songs.
