Every August 9, Singaporeans across the world band together to commemorate the anniversary of our nation’s independence, and one event that happens every year without fail is the National Day Parade (NDP).
But given everything that’s going on this year (like the coronavirus pandemic), we’ll be celebrating our country’s 55th birthday a little bit differently. And the parade is not spared.
This year’s parade will see a significant reduction in the number of participants, for everyone’s safety, of course. Various parade segments have also moved to the heartlands and will be streamed live on television and internet platforms.
There is, however, a silver lining. For the first time ever, residents will be able to catch the state flag flypast, jet aerial display and mobile column in real life from the comfort of their homes as they are slated to take place at various locations around the island.
While NDP 2020 is certain to be a familiar, yet definitively different experience, for me, I am looking forward to seeing this year’s performances at night, especially the story and song segments.
