SINGAPORE – The organisers of the National Day Parade (NDP) this year have apologised for errors in the Tamil text that was broadcast live on television in the evening show on Sunday (Aug 9).
Referring to a line of animated Tamil song lyrics that were displayed on the LED screens as part of a performance, chairman of the NDP2020 Executive Committee, Brigadier-General Frederick Choo, said: “Unfortunately, the animation effects resulted in one line of the Tamil song lyrics having misaligned characters.”
He added: “The NDP2020 Exco apologises for the error. The Exco had engaged Tamil translators to ensure the accuracy of the Tamil song lyrics and the Tamil translations of the films and performances in other languages.
“All lyrics for projection were accurate prior to digital animation. We will further strengthen the production process and be mindful for future NDPs.”
The executive committee worked with broadcaster Mediacorp to correct the animated text for the online footage streamed on YouTube and meWatch, he said.
