It just struck me how beautifully multi-racial this month is — beginning with Thaipusam on the 1st, followed by Chinese New Year, and then Ramadan. It’s a meaningful reminder of the importance of tolerance, mutual respect, and co-existing harmoniously while honouring one another’s customs and beliefs.
This Chinese New Year 2026, Sony Pictures Entertainment Malaysia proudly brings audiences the most powerful festive blockbuster, Night King [夜王], opening nationwide on 16th February 2026. Then, on the 26th of February, don’t miss the star-studded cast of Crime 101, featuring Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry and more, showing at cinemas near you.
