Chingay Festival
25 February, 2020
The Chingay Parade is an annual street parade held in Malaysia and Singapore in celebration with the birthdays of the Chinese deities or the procession of the Goddess of Mercy (Guanyin) as part of the Chinese New Year festivities.[1] The term Chingay itself originated from the Chinese communities of Southeast Asia, which is a phonetic equivalent of both the Chinese words “真艺” (zhēnyì) which means “true art” in the Penang version, and “妆艺,” (zhuāngyì) which means “a decorated miniature stage” or float in the Singapore version. PAYM (People’s Association Youth Movement) has been an active contributor to chingay in Singapore. Today the parade is celebrated by all communities of both Malaysia and Singapore.[2]
