Ermaos how? Got celebrate Chinese New Year or not? It's a 5000yr tradition past down from China

Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines celebrate
CNY. So Lunar New Year should be more appropriate.

It's quite embarrassing to celebrate someone's else new year and that's understandable. So renaming it as LNY, KNY, TWNY, SNY, MNY, or dun celebrate at all like noporn.

Let them call it Korea New Year, Vietnam New Year or Lunar New Year as what they wish to be called.

Since I am a Chinese and it is my culture to celebrate this auspicious days, I will just call it Chinese New Year.

Chinese calendar is NOT lunar calendar. 

Calling it lunar is simply WRONG!

It's their Chinese race culture celebration. Not national celebration. 

Leveraging the Chinese New Year framework offers a superior approach to heritage preservation.

My nationality is Singaporean and my race is Chinese on my NRIC lah!

You are right!

Chinese calendar is lunisolar calendar, not lunar calendar.

True is lunisolar calendar
Extract from on line 
Start of the lunar month, Lunar and lunisolar calendars differ as to which day is the first day of the month. Some are based on the first sighting of the lunar crescent, such as the Hijri calendar observed by most of Islam. Alternatively, in some lunisolar calendars, such as the Hebrew calendar and Chinese calendar, the first day of a month is the day when an astronomical new moon occurs in a particular time zone. In others, such as some Hindu calendars, each month begins on the day after the full moon.

Also while Mongolia also use lunisolar calendar, their celebrate date is different from China, Korea & Vietnam etc
as they have 12 -13 lunar months in their calendar

Furthermore for Sg case, our holidays are mainly for major ethnic group/religion in this country.
And we never deny ethnic Koreans, Vietnamese or other minority to call it their New year.

So we must sacrifice the heritage of 75% population for the sake of pleasing negligible number of Koreans and Vietnamese?
