Instead of the tens of thousands of spectators of past years, this year’s National Day Parade (NDP) will have just around 150 spectators who are “representatives of society”, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said on Sunday (July 26).
NDP2020 will be broken into two segments, with a morning parade and ceremony held at the Padang, the site of Singapore’s first NDP in 1966, and an evening show at the Star Performing Arts Centre.
There will be around 50 representatives of the Government, including ministers, watching the morning parade and around 100 members of the public as spectators.
Those watching the parade will be seated in three sections of around 50 people each, to prevent intermingling.
