A Sizzling CNY Market Visit- A First Of Its Kind Mexican Fire In The Heartland Experience At Bukit Batok East Point Mall

Bukit Batok East residents ooo-ed and aaa-ed in delight as the dazzling fireball rolled towards them on the grounds of Blk 279 on Sunday. The Mexican Purepecha and Cornisa performers brought Chingay into the heartland as they entertained BBE residents with an exhilarating fireball game and comedic theatric act.


Mdm Halimah Yacob, Member of Parliament and Adviser to Jurong GRC GROs met up with His Excellency Antonio Villegas and his wife Mrs. Claudia Villegas from the Embassy of Mexico and together with our grassroots leaders, played a mean game of Purepecha! It was an exciting and meaningful exchange of cultures as the Mexican Ambassadors basked in the hospitality of our Bukit Batok East heartlanders.

The FIREBALL game is extremely popular and unique to the Purépecha people of Mexico, and the fireball represents the sun and honours the god of fire in this ritualistic sport. This was the first time where BBE residents got to experience the festivity and magic of Chingay during a Market Visit. Many families were all smiles as they took home these memories by taking a picture with the hunky Mexican warriors.
