Despite the rain, Marina Bay roared to life last night as the annual Chingay parade bathed the area in colourful lights, songs and dances, reported Aw Cheng Wei. The annual street procession to mark Chinese New Year is also a celebration of the diverse cultures of Singapore.
From fan dances to choral singing, this year's parade showcased acts by 8,000 volunteer performers from organisations including the Management Development Institute of Singapore, the Eurasian Association and People's Association, the event's main organiser.
