The Kowloon East branch of the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) organized a celebratory bus parade to mark the arrival of the Year of the Horse on Monday.

DAB legislators, accompanied by a performer dressed as the "God of Wealth", toured various districts in Kwun Tong on a festive float to extend Chinese New Year greetings to residents.

The parade made several stops across Kowloon East, where the "God of Wealth" distributed lucky ornaments, engaged with the public, and listened to residents about the relief measures and other benefits they expected in the upcoming Budget.
