Ng Chee Meng plays Beyblade with residents during visit to Jalan Kayu, wins battle

During a walkabout in Jalan Kayu, newly elected Member of Parliament (MP) Ng Chee Meng surprised residents by jumping into a Beyblade battle — and winning.

In a Facebook post shared on Tuesday (27 May), the Jalan Kayu SMC MP and Secretary-General of NTUC recounted how he came across a group of young residents mid-duel.

According to Mr Ng, he had spotted “S. and his friends” engrossed in a spinning top game. Initially calling it a “top fight”, he later learned the official term: Beyblade battle.

Curious and seeing that the residents were having “loads of fun”, Mr Ng asked for a quick crash course.

“They were kind and patient in teaching me,” he wrote. “Soon we were battling away!”

A video in the post showed Mr Ng launching his Beyblade and defeating a resident in the arena, to which he humbly credited “beginner’s luck”.
