PUBLISHED ONOctober 11, 2026 9:30 AMBYCrystal TanMinister 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.
Not content with that, he then "ran the ropes", rebounding off them to build momentum before launching a crowd-pleasing elbow drop onto his opponent. The move earned him the tongue-in-cheek title of "MP ELBOW", according to the post's caption.
Foo was subsequently seen celebrating his victory in the ring.
The event, WrestlePagar 2, was held in conjunction with the 10th anniversary of Grapplemax Pro Wrestling.
Foo had earlier promoted the event in an Instagram post on Sept 26, sharing a video featuring scenes from the WrestlePagar event in October 2025.
"WrestlePagar is back! Watcha gonna do when Hunclemania runs wild on you?" the caption read, referencing the H.U.N.C.L.E programme.
H.U.N.C.L.E, which stands for Healthy Uncles who Network, drink Coffee, Learn and Exercise, is a programme launched in 2024 for men aged 50 and above residing in the Tanjong Pagar-Tiong Bahru division.
The programme encourages participants to remain physically, mentally and socially active through group exercises, health talks and community bonding activities.
AsiaOne has contacted Foo for comment.
