Chingay

SINGAPORE - Chingay Parade returned with a bang on Friday, the first fully physical edition after two years of digital and hybrid formats.

I’ll build myself again with all the scars” is her favourite part of the song. For singer-songwriter Amni Musfirah, 28, preparations for the parade started in August 2022. The parade will continue on Saturday, and is expected to draw close to 30,000 people. “I wanted to highlight the struggles, but also the hope and willingness to move forward,” she told The Straits Times. The spectators were next treated to a thrilling display of acrobatics and stunts by BMX bikers, skateboarders and parkour practitioners, commonly known as traceurs. Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong opened the street parade to cheers as he wished the crowd in English and Mandarin: “May you have good health, prosperity, good luck and much joy in the Year of the Rabbit.”
