OriginalBrew Singapore contributions. Great way to soak in the Chinese New Year festivities in Singapore. An annual event that presents the National celebration of Chinese New Year. It is said to be a way of replacing small group celebrations where the Chinese will set off firecrackers. This practice was frowned upon as it used to cause fire at the rural areas. Chingay Parade was then introduced a few decades ago to invite all to come to the streets to witness Lion Dance and other traditional presentations.
In this parade, the state sets off massive Fireworks display for the public in place of fire crackers. Singaporeans and foreign friends visiting have given many thumbs up for this. However, it will be dampening if there is bad weather. But great opportunities for cultural sights. You can buy tickets from sistic online. Syahid B 33 contributions. This place will be very crowded on 11th March this year for the Chingay Parade.
The parade which is a unified performance from all Chinese races in Malaysia attracted almost half a million during last year event and we are expecting similar or many greater turn out thia year.
A showcase of Singapore vibrant and dynamic cosmopolitan and multi-ethnic culture. It originates as a street parade as far back as and today it is an annual signature event showcasing the vibrancy and dynamism of Singapore multi-ethnic and cosmopolitan culture.
I participated in the parade as a CERT volunteer, helping out as a first aider and standby fire fighter to ensure fire safety at the boom lift area where the firework display set off. The success of this Chingay Parade owes much to the many of the volunteers from the various grassroots units at the constituency level, the supportive corporations and the various schools and learning institutions who went for serious training sessions and rehearsals in order to give their best performances on the actual days.
We also should not forget the contributions from the various spectacular cultural contingents from the other nations Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, China, etc that added much limelight into the Parade. It is a concerted national effort to showcase the unity, cultural diversity and harmony that Singapore enjoys as a peaceful and progressive society. At one moment, I was standing among the spectators at the seat areas. The pulsating music, the cheers of the crowd, the colorful lighting and the immersive atmosphere made the event so captivating and alluring that I could not resist the temptation to take out my camera to take some beautiful shots.
At another moment, I was standing right at the frontline of the barricaded area and I could see the smiling beautiful faces of the performers. Some may be elderly aunties but I saw the energy and youthfulness in their dances. Age has no limit to the performers as I can see that they really enjoyed and immersed themselves in their performances and the festive mood.
The population may be ageing but the nation is still strong and vibrant. As I look at each contingent passing by, I am amazed at the potential strength of this nation and the ability to garner the support of all sectors of the community, be it the business, the government ministries, the young and the old, the rich and the poor and all came here as one united people.
We are proud to tell the world that we can create wealth and we can create unity. While we look at our glorious past at this bicentennial celebration we also are futuristic in our outlook to bring economic prosperity to our country. While the Harley Davidson antique motorbikes and the old modeled cars conjure images of the past, the spectacular well designed floats from the banks painted a prosperous future for Singapore.
We were lucky enough to be inSingaoore when this was on.. Unique to Chingay, they also have a community engagement programmed to involve public as volunteers, or provide contribution to the event.
At the beginning, the existing website hardly brought attention to key sections, such as event information, ticketing details etc. In addition, the lack of Content Management System CMS made it difficult for Chingay to roll out interactive campaigns and content updates efficiently to engage visitors.
Last challenge is to create online attraction, so the visitors would like to go back to the website even the event has ended. To keep visitors engaged, we first need to understand the reasons why they visit at different points leading up to Chingay Parade. Before the event, interested attendees visit the website to obtain the following information:.
