Also present were Councillors Chief Whip Wong Kar Keat, Council Secretary Munir Ishak, senior directors and heads of departments.
The council had been giving out aid to all festive seasons.
It is hoped that the Ang Pow will ease the financial burden and enable them to celebrate Chinese New Year in a joyous mood.
