Yah he was and still is full of shit.
Nobody gives that much cash. It’s not even possible to fit into an envelope
ChatGPT says it’ll be 2.15 inches tall. Good luck trying to squeeze that into a red envelope.

Gotta think big bro. Find "ten thousand red pocket" on Taobao and you can find them. It is a thing.
My family is quite traditional in this kind of things. We net zero almost every year. Probably a few hundred difference here and there. But big red envelope is a thing for some families.
We have used these before. USD fits up to about 20k.

You shut your mouth that's Yusof bin Ishak the first President of the Glorius Republic of Singapore!
That's 50 cane strikes for you!!
Honestly I had no idea I had to look that up, why it's not Lee Kuan Yew on every bill is mind boggling

Transfer can be done in a lot of ways. But the whole idea of red pocket is not the money, nor the amount, but rather a symbol of gesture and care toward your love ones. Neither my folks nor my in laws expect money from us as they don't need anything from us.
But we do it as a way to show that we care about them and the tradition. We go as far as always getting brand new bills (no exceptions down to 1 dollar bill) and try to meet in person one way or the other. The number grows pretty much yearly as a symbol that we are being better off.
Whatever amount I give to them, they would just give back to the kids (and hence back to us) with maybe a few hundred extra as my folks are usually lazy to go to bank and just grab whatever they have at home. Often we'd discuss between us to make sure no one end up putting more money than the other. Sure, we might prep a few smaller red pockets for kids from less close F&F, but they are usually $50-100 depending on how close the F&F is, but again, they would end up giving that amount back to our kids.
That's why it's almost always net zero. I can't even think of a year where between the amount I withdrew vs. what I deposited being more than a few $100 apart.

Mark Carney and his entourage went for dimsum at continental seafood… not my first pick and he gave out red envelopes! But it was chocolate inside or else PP will say he’s bribing for votes. Is it bad feng shui to give out chocolate instead of money?

Now that Floata is gone I think Continental is the next biggest dim sum place? Maybe the Main Street Sun Sui Wah or Pink Pearl is similar?
I saw he hung out at my White Spot for the women's gold medal game too. For a banker Carney knows how to play retail politics really, really well - maybe it's heavily stage managed (doesn't seem like it) but imagine PP catching a game at Boston Pizza and not being a total douche.
