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
