It seems to be a tradition for him.
Malaysia’s been through some rough times, with riots, rallies and unhappiness with the Pakatan Harapan government.
But one man is doing his part to reach out and spread some cheer this Chinese New Year.
Datuk Seri Dr Zulkifli Mohamad Al-Bakri, the Mufti (Muslim legal expert) of the Federal Territories, shared photos of himself on Facebook, giving out gifts to his Chinese neighbours.

He also encouraged Malaysians to go back to the “essential foundations”, that humanity is all part of one big family.
“Create the beauty of Islam, spread the spirit of unity,” he added.
As of Feb. 6, 1:30 pm, the post had garnered over 10,000 reactions and 2,500 shares.
Most of the comments on his post commended Zulkifli on his generosity.
Hopefully more people will heed the Mufti’s message.
