Manhunt Singapore 2017 ( Changing Lives ) Press Conference - 27 April 2017 ( Video )

I have previously attended Manhunt Singapore Press Conference in 2015. I was unable to attend the 2016 press conference but was fortunate enough to cover the Manhunt Singapore 2016 Final. Manhunt Singapore have been around for many years. It has long established itself as one of the important show in Singapore. 

This year, there are a total of 20 Manhunt finalists and 10 Senior Manhunt finalists. In fact, Manhunt is a wonderful platform for finalists to showcase their looks and physique. It also allow finalists to embark on a journey to develop themselves and be groomed into fine modern gentlemen. While writing this, something just struck me on a recent bully case of a 76 years old elderly man by a couple at the Toa Payoh Lor 8 Food Centre. The man ( bully ) banged the elderly man from the back which make his fall forward. A gentleman will never behave in this way. Lack of social grace have prompted such undesirable behavior in our society. I believe Manhunt help to create awareness of a well groom gentleman in our society. 

Each of the finalists are champions. The theme for this year edition is "Changing Lives". According to Manhunt Singapore, they wanted the finalists to understand, while the end product is important to look ahead to, what's more important is the process and the development phases that will shape and mould him for his life ahead. In fact, each of the finalists does have a unique story to tell. The story that have different elements which shape them into what they are today. 

Beam also teamed up with the alumni of Manhunt to set up a non-profit organisation called ManKind Ltd, to allow the alumni to gather and build a force of good in a world that increasingly needs it. The adopted charity for this year is Helping Joy Ltd - a Singapore registered non-profit organisation which helps the needy and elderly of Singapore regardless of race, religion or language, by bring a little joy into their lives.

I will be looking forward to the final of Manhunt Singapore 2017.

Looking for the Ideal Man in this year ManHunt Singapore 2015

Sipping my coffee at Alkaff Mansion Ristorante which is located on top of a hill somewhere in the southern part of Singapore, I briefly went through the notes of the contestants and was pleasantly surprised to see one of contestants who have recently participated in the Nutriman 2015. I greeted and shake his hands. 

I started photographing various WBPF and International body building competitions way back in 2013. Then came along other related competitions such as NutriMan, StrongMan. And now, it is my honor to be able to photograph and blog for a coming well-known competition, ManHunt. 

Before coming to this ManHunt press event, I did not know much about the competition. In fact, it is a competition where it helps to search for an "ideal man". A man who not only embodies looks and strength, but possesses the charisma, talent and passion to achieve his ambitions, just like the following leading men which are now managed by Beam Artistes. Names such as Russell Ong, Shane Pow, Richard Herrera and Paul Foster. 

Organizer Beam Artistes and presenting sponsor Phyto Singapore unveiled the 30 finalists for Manhunt Singapore 2015 and Senior Manhunt Singapore 2015. 28 years ago, it first started as a male model contest, Manhunt has come a long way and is moving beyond mere aesthetics to the search for a man who embodies positive male attributes which would make him stand out in a crowd. 

For this year competition, out of more than 100 contestants, only 30 contestants are shortlisted. 20 Manhunt Singapore finalists and 10 Senior Manhunt Singapore finalists. There are a few firsts for this year in the long history of 28 years for this competition. A pair of father and son, Poon Weng  Kee,48 and Ryan Poon, 24 will be competing in their respective Manhunt category. A heart-warming stories such as of Ngen Ge Liang got his inspiration from the story of last year's winner, Nicholas Ngoh. The widely branded as "MRT hero" or "Ahang Hanafie" in a viral video where he stand up for a man who was being verbally assaulted by another man.
