According to the (Singaporean) Chinese Tradition, individuals who bank in their money at certain timings according to their Chinese Zodiac on Li Chun (the beginning of Spring) will enjoy a good and prosperous start to their new year. And this year, Li Chun falls on February 4 - so be prepared, mentally and physically, for the hordes of kiasu Singaporean queuing up at banks and ATMs islandwide in their attempt to bring in good luck and fortune!
But, just in case you have no idea what the Li Chun festival is (no, it is not Street Fighter - that’s Chun Li), and you’re still interested to huat in 2019, or maybe you are just kaypoh and want to jump on the bandwagon, here’s a useful timetable to tell you when you need to bank in your money based on your Chinese Zodiac.
