Student & Alumni Centre of KDU University College has cheered up the campus with helium balloons and love messages on both Damansara Jaya campus and Section 13 Campus in conjunction with Chap Goh Mei. Chap Goh Mei is also known as the Chinese Valentine’s Day. This is because a long time ago, Chap Goh Mei was the only day that young maidens were allowed to dress up and stroll on the street, albeit having to be accompanied by fierce chaperones. Young men would then go out, hoping to catch a sight of the rarely seen maidens. Young women also went to temples to pray, hoping for the heavens to send them a suitable match. Matchmakers took the opportunity to strike up marriages between eligible individuals.
