According to the statement, each packet contains 10 ang pow envelopes, and will be distributed while stocks last.

Under the Chinese calendar, this will be the Year of the Fire Monkey.

'Ah Jib Gor', the prime minister’s official Facebook page in Mandarin, has been in operation since Jan 16, 2012 as a platform to reach out to the wider community through the social networking site.

'Ah Jib Gor' which means 'Brother Najib' in Mandarin, is designed to provide another forum to the Mandarin-speaking community to interact with the prime minister on social media.
