38 participants came to ‘flex’ their muscles
According to the Straits Times, 38 participants entered the competition and showcased their muscles at the MWC Recreational Club in Pioneer, in front of an audience of about 150.
Participants took to the stage donning beach shorts or tights and had beaming smiles on their faces.
These drew cheers and applause from the crowd who showed up to be part of the event.
