My wish finally came true many years later when I had the opportunity in 2025 as part of a dance group to participate in the event
I started Chingay performance at Orchard Road in the 80s, when the Chingay parade was held in the morning.
Firecrackers are a thing of the past, we now watch Chingay parades on TV.
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
