SINGAPORE: Singapore marks 55 years of independence on Sunday (Aug 9). Watch Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong’s National Day message to Singaporeans at 10am on CNA. This will be followed by the morning portion of the National Day Parade from 10.20am.
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, tributes to frontline and essential workers will feature heavily in the parade. The event will also be a smaller affair, split into morning and evening segments and with fewer than 300 participants for each portion.
Traditional favourites for the parade such as the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) flypast involving F-15SG fighter planes, the state flag flypast and the mobile column will make their way through the heartlands so people can catch a glimpse of them in their neighbourhoods as well.
