Hi normally what is the rate for red packet in KL.

For normal colleague.

I'm not rich budget is limited.

2 big sweep ticket price.

give what you can afford... when you give genuinely your intentions and blessing would be worth more than the value of the red packet.

Giving angpow is a blessing

How much does not matter

Depends who you givin. Close relatives, RM5, 10.... up to ability

RM5

RM2

Boss give RM5/ person if total have 20~30 staff.

RM50/ person if total have only 10 staffs

Usually RM5 or RM10 because easy to prepare, just one single note
RM8 if you are feel fancy and hard working since need to prepare RM5 + 3x RM1 notes

alright thanks for the info everyone

RM5 or RM10 is fine, no reason to break your wallet just to impress your colleagues.

I dont give colleague, i only give kids

rm10 dh ok

Coz my cina man office small, give 10

You are not obligated to give your colleagues. Unless you are a generous China-man style company owner.

Rm5

Give to your colleagues? As in people you work with?
Your work colleagues are not your friends, so RM 2 if you absolutely feel you must do this in the office. If you have invited them to your home for CNY then what you would give to any friend of yours.

Nobody gives RM 2 anymore

If close person = RM 10 - RM 20
If not so close / stranger = RM 5

Colleagues give for wat?

Rm2 in 2025. Lol. Better dont give la.

Never give to ppl same generation/rank. Its damn cringe see full ass adult expecting angpow from kolik/fren. Traditionally ppl give to children only.

Coleagues no need lah, unless they got bring kids to your house then give the kids.
Give what you can afford without breaking your wallet. Don't follow what ever trend on socme, for who ever complain about the amount received do not deserve the angpow.

20 cent

RM10 or else dont give at all.

My china man big but give nothing,sad angpow pun takde.....

TS obviously has thoughts on the amount to give to colleagues.... because they actually stated so. Or did you not catch that from the first post?
Ang Pau is not given for the amount but for the blessing. Perhaps you don't know this?
Also, I did preface my post with thoughts with giving to colleagues in the office, or did you not read that?

But sure, you do you in 2025

that's why i said same RANK in office context. Usually is higher up give angpow as appreciation token for the team member hardwork. Same rank kolik u give angpow for what.

Like u said, angpow is given as "blessing". Giving RM2 in 2025 is equivalent to a slap in the face. You know like u got nothing better to say please dont say anything at all. In this case not giving is actually better than giving.

And yes, i read everything. Maybe u ought to do the mutual same?

RM2 + rm2 lottery ticket.

RM10 as standard to anyone except for my own direct family member

im planning to go for rm5, rm10 a bit steep for me.

they are just same rank colleagues.

if you receive rm5 what will you feel ?

RM10 for junior/low level staff.
RM20 for colleagues you're close to/lunch buddies
RM50 for someone who's helped you a lot at work. IT bugger/finance girl.

Why are you giving to your colleagues? When they visit you? They're still single?

Strangely enough, I could understand that TS was asking about giving red packets to colleagues that are the same rank as themselves, therefore the dilemma. Couldn't you also? Don't worry, I accept your below par understanding and the lack of critical thinking on your part, especially on an open forum. Type faster than can think and now ego cannot back down.
TS has also now said it also. Please give high amount red packet to your colleagues so that they have lots of blessings. Oh wait, the blessing is for the giver, not the receiver. Like I said, you do you.

RM5 for super distant relatives, like meet once every few years.

RM10 for relatives that meet once a year and colleagues

RM20 for very close relatives

RM50 for near niece/nephews

RM10 is standard, anything less than that already cheapskate. But if you B40 then give whatever amount you feel comfortable with.

U need define give to whom?

If colleague maybe rm10

If immediate family rm20-100?

colleague no give la
for their kids also only if u meet their kids

this year my rate is rm5 for everyone, unless those especially close

tf u on about? keep running in circle. You typed a lot but got no substance in it. So terasa when being told wrong.

Remember u are the sohai that suggested rm2 in 2025. My points still stand.

And i addressed nicely ppl dont usually give angpow to same rank kolik. then we have idiot in open forum here suggesting RM2 <--- LOLLLL . This amount not enough to buy kopi also. might as well dont give if u are so broke. Ppl will understand.

this sentence so hard to understand?

not if you have 50 staff.

I only give to my staff

thank goodness this year my team streamlined

last year my team was 30 people.

Why celebrate CNY in city? No balik kampung?

RM5000 for parents
RM500 for kid
RM50 for close friends
RM50 for nephews and nieces you like
RM20 for nephew and nieces you don't quite like
RM10 for bangla nepal Myanmar.

RM50 for all

rm50? Like seriously its so small even buffet also cannot afford

rm10 can't even get a decent meal in mall
kecian being a malaysian

See, this is where I said you have reading comprehension problems. My very first post I already said no need to give to work colleagues. I know million-RM bathroom warehouse in PJ giving RM2 red packet to customer walking in.

Must suck to be you, can only react to a post without anything constructive to offer. If RM2 not enough, then what? RM5? Or RM10? RM20? Since RM2 is "a slap in the face" what is the amount you think is the correct flex for TS, who you know nothing financially about, number of colleagues, size of office, or commitments? TS is there to sponsor people's life meh?

And for the third, and please, please let it be the last time..... you do you. If you think RM2 is too low for you then go ahead and do whatever flex you want, to whomever you want. Maybe you could even make a Tiktok of you presenting big value red packet to someone.



genjo Seriously, no need to flex for work colleagues, and then pain in the pocket. Take care of yourself and own family first. And I say again (although you have decided on RM5) RM2 is enough for work colleagues especially so for people who are the same level. (I would actually give more if I had subordinates who support me doing my job to really show appreciation for their support though)

A piece of paper with bitcoin wallet address. how much its worth later on depends on when the person decides to sell it.

This is your first post.

Come englighten me which part means no need to give angpow. Kek.

Out of nowhere suggest ppl rm2 KL rate. Kiddo, u know nothing about angpow just shut up la. Very obvious u are not kahwin yet the give unfounded advice. U giving rm2 to ur kolik u going to face everyday. Just dont give u get less drama.

Min 50 for everyone

Close one min 100

I wanted to make a longer reply post about critical thinking but I really cannot as my mind boggles at your stupidity.

You quoting my post and actually asking where I said don't give angpau just shows your total lack of reading comprehension. Seriously. Replying further to you is pointless since you can't comprehend the logical progression of work colleagues are not your friends and you should only give angpau to friends who you would actually invite to your home for CNY.

Cannot get StarBuck....will curse you deep deep

Go buy LuckyPick ToTo RM2 and give as Angpow.

RM10

Got one close relative always give RM200 every year. Consider it as a blessing. I can save it every year for rainy season

It is very likely that you recently got married and are still surrounded by a majority of peers who have yet to tie the knot.

You must be feeling: -

If you don't give, people may later perceive you as stingy or as someone who did not follow tradition.

If you give too little, it may make you feel embarrassed, as the amount may not reflect the usual market rate.

If you give too much to meet market expectations, you may later suffer because your earnings could be limited at present.

Quite a common cycle. Some forum members have pointed out the practical approach. Perhaps I can express it this way:

1) Acquaintances or work-related colleagues of the same generation ~ there is no need to give them anything. If they ask for it, invite them to your house to celebrate the Lunar New Year (bai nian), but only give the red packet if they visit. You have 15 days to celebrate CNY. This approach will filter out approximately 80-95% of them, as the time and travel expenses will likely deter them from visiting your home. For the remaining 5%, if they are genuinely sincere, consider giving them a minimum of RM 10 or RM 20. The monetary value is not what they seek; they simply want to participate in creating the CNY atmosphere. If they are interested in creating the CNY atmosphere, they probably won't be concerned about the amount in the red packet.

2)For the staff members who report directly to you, I believe it is appropriate to give red packet as a token of appreciation, regardless of their marital status. If you have many people reporting to you, the amount should not be a concern because you should be financially capable with such position. Conversely, if there are only a few individuals under your supervision, the amount is also not an issue because it is just a few of them.

rm2

tumbang tanya

not married, i no need give red packet

but i was think giving random amount via touch n go to my subordinates.....good idea？

If I were you, I'd buy them lunch. During the lunch session, you can spend some time to get some feedback from them on your leadership & your subordinates needs. If you give random money via TouchNGo, what gain do you gather from that move? It is just a wasteful move by a leader in my opinion.
