Singapore MP Foo Cexiang was seen in a social media video going up against two wrestlers at a community event. PETALING JAYA: Singapore junior minister Foo Cexiang traded politics for pro wrestling today, showing off moves familiar to WWE fans.
In a video posted on social media, Foo is seen going up against two wrestlers at a community event organised by the community club of Foo's constituency Tanjong Pagar.
The video by Channel News Asia, showed Foo clotheslining one opponent, before defeating another with his version of the “people’s elbow”, a move made popular by wrestler Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Foo was appointed as minister of state to the manpower and trade and industry ministries in July. He is also the MP for Tanjong Pagar GRC.
The “fight” was part of a community event which included a segment featuring elderly wrestlers who are part of the H.U.N.C.L.E (Healthy Uncles who Network, drink Coffee, Learn and Exercise) programme, launched in 2024, for men aged 50 and above.
