Chingay Parade (South East Asia)
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.〔(Chingay Parade in Singapore )〕 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 the Chinese, Malay and Indian communities of both Malaysia and Singapore.〔http://www.yoursingapore.com/festivals-events-singapore/annual-highlights/chingay-parade-singapore.html〕
== Origin ==
Chingay procession was held in celebration with the birthdays of the Chinese deities or the procession of the Goddess of Mercy (Guanyin). It was held to worship and enjoy with the deity. During the earliest procession in more than 100 years ago, the earliest English newspapers Echo in Malaysia adopted the word Chingay Procession for this special event.〔Penang Chingay Association (2007). (Penang Chingay Association )〕
Chingay originated from China, and the Penang Chinese first performed Chingay during deity processions.〔Penang State Tourism Development & Culture (2009). (Chingay )〕 It is a street art where the performer balances a giant flag that ranges from in height and about in weight.
Today, in Malaysia and Singapore, Chingay is not only performed by the Chinese, but the art has successfully attracted the Malays and Indians. It has become a unique multiracial performance. The popularity of Chingay in Penang has made it one of the very impressive cultural landmarks as well as an important tourist attraction.〔Penang State Tourism Development & Culture (2009).
