In recent years, the performances have been decentralised into neighbourhoods so that all citizens can benefit. It brings joy and excitement with its beautiful and elaborate floats, as performers perform on top of the moving platforms.

“Harmony” is not an abstract concept, but comes from the concrete handshake, practice and laughter in daily life.

Living in harmony between various ethnic groups allows other countries to learn from each other, tolerate each other, and create happiness together regardless of the diversity of races.

The harmonious dance performed on the same stage by people of different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds is a truly precious cultural spectacle. The parade is not only a visual feast but also a platform for cultural exchange, allowing audiences to learn about each other and respect differences in a joyful atmosphere.

Dad explained to me softly and occasionally laughed with me. That simple but warm companionship makes me feel very nostalgic. Looking back now, the Chingay Parade is not just an event, but also carries the good times I spent with my father.

As children, we were happy because after the Chingay procession, our father would bring us to eat and go window shopping.
