I started Chingay performance at Orchard Road in the 80s, when the Chingay parade was held in the morning.

A poetic tribute to this wonderful, magical cultural heritage
-
What’s heart-warming is how all are ultimately united in a common goal – to bring the joy of the festivities to the crowd, the enjoyment of friendships across all ages, ethnicity or even nationalities, and the striving for excellence

Firecrackers are a thing of the past, we now watch Chingay parades on TV.

Lanterns glowed as dancers spun past, drums beating like a heartbeat. Bright floats showed lions, phoenixes and flowers mixed with neon lights and familiar music.

In 2025, I had the honour of becoming one of the participants. This experience allowed me to see Chingay beyond the spectacle and gain a deeper appreciation of the hardwork, commitment and teamwork that take place behind the scenes

Intangible heritage is not only about preserving traditions, but about keeping them alive through people…. Chingay stands as a powerful symbol of cultural resilience, inclusivity and shared national identity
-
It brought lasting friendships, immense joy in performing and evoked deep pride in representing Singapore’s diversity.. It is a living story of community and heritage
