Singapore MP Foo Cexiang makes 'wrestling debut', shows off slick moves at WrestlePagar
Singaporean Member of Parliament Foo Cexiang participated in a professional wrestling event called WrestlePagar 2. The event was held to promote the H.U.N.C.L.E community program for older men.
Why it matters
The event highlights unconventional methods used by public officials to engage with constituents and promote community health initiatives.
Minister of State for Manpower, and Trade & Industry, and Tanjong Pagar GRC MP Foo Cexiang brought a dose of "Hunclemania" to WrestlePagar 2, turning the wholesome H.U.N.C.L.E programme's healthy-uncle persona into a surprisingly suave wrestling act.
In an Instagram video posted by @kicktothegut that day, Foo was seen swapping politics for wrestling as he strode into the ring at Tanjong Pagar Community Club on Saturday (Oct 10).
The MP wasted little time embracing his inner grappler. After sending his opponent tumbling with an arm drag, Foo played to the crowd by peeling off an arm sleeve with a flourish and flinging it into the audience like a seasoned showman.
