How can we miss our annual National Day Parade… on screen. Stay home and stay safe 😊 Sit back and relax at the comfort of your home, perhaps in a red attire. too.
Even better, you do not need to attend the NDP to enjoy the special offers and promotions in the NDP packs.
And, you can look forward to seeing fireworks and Red Lions in the heartlands.
With the heightened alert measures in place, we hope everyone can continue to observe the measures in place and yet continue to enjoy the special day to the fullest. We hope our nation continues to stay strong in this pandemic.
We hope that you like the list of recommendations that we have. If you are keen to check out the pre-NDP activities and events lined up, head over to https://www.ndp.gov.sg/ to find out more!
Happy Birthday to Singapore!
