The National Day Parade. That's the biggest National event in Singapore. It has been taking place at the scenic Marina Bay for the past two years and will continue to be staged there until the new sports hub is completed in 2011. There have been quite a few interesting newspaper articles over the past week trying to define what is the Singaporean identity. Not an easy task! I am still unsure what truly makes one a Sinagporean. Is it the Singlish? Is it the love for Chicken rice?
The city also looks quite amazing with flags hanging from every balconies. For the history, Singapore celebrated its first National Day in 1966, one year after Singapore's independence from Malaysia on 9 August 1965. And this year is thus proclaimed as the 43rd anniversary of Singapore's independence. You can learn more at the ndp website here.
