Some company .. the boss give ang bao on 1st working day after CNY.

They call it open year ang bao.

Depend on boss and company.
Not a must to give.

Vietnam has a different practice on giving ang bao.
In their culture, as long as you are working. You need to give ang bao.

Perhaps they prefer a British* beer, you know something with flavour compared to the local P-water. Older people often have more sophisticated tastes and palates.

Guinness actually is brewed in Malaysia. But not sure for which market though. I hear that they do 'export' the beer out.

No idea I don't like the stuff myself. Wouldn't surprise me, as there is or at least was an African brewed version that you used to be able to buy (imported) in some of the corner offies in the more 'vibrant' parts of west London.

Ah, but not so fast . It was when Arthur Guinness started producing his beer.

And it's owner Diageo is British too.
