SINGAPORE – This year’s National Day Parade (NDP) will focus on allowing Singaporeans to celebrate in their homes, instead of at a central location like the floating platform at Marina Bay.
Unlike previous parades, Singapore’s 55th birthday bash – which features the theme Together, A Stronger Singapore – will see many parade segments moved to the heartland and streamed live over TV as well as Internet platforms, said the organising committee on Wednesday (May 20).
For the first time, traditional elements like the state flag flypast, F-15SG fighter jet aerial display, the Red Lions free-fall jump, and mobile column will take place in different locations around the island. These displays will also pay special tribute to front-line workers against Covid-19.
The Aug 9 celebrations this year will start with a nationwide broadcast of the Prime Minister’s National Day Message and a parade at the Padang reviewed by the President.
This will be accompanied by flag-raising ceremonies across Singapore during the singing of the national anthem. Vessels from the Singapore navy and various public agencies will participate in a maritime sail-past.
