Visit Singapore National Day Fireworks
Once a year for the entire month of August, you see many people hanging the country’s flag outside their house to celebrate National Day. Singapore became independent on 9 August 1965.
Last Saturday, from my kitchen window I saw 2 helicopters flying past with the national flag. My 11 year old nephew was attending the last rehearsal for National Day Parade (NDP) at The Float @ Marina Bay. After dinner as my family drove past the vicinity, my sister captured the spectacular fireworks with her iPhone.
Do you know what the flag represents?
Red – universal brotherhood and equality of man
White – purity and virtue
Moon – a young nation on the rise
Five Stars – democracy, peace, progress, justice and equality
