More NDP packs to be made available at heartland events
Over the years, National Day Parade (NDP) packs have become coveted items among many Singaporeans.
They will be glad to know that more of these packs will be made available this year for those who do not manage to score tickets to the parade.
«For this year, we are going to have more NDP packs that will be allocated to heartland sites, because this is something we understand every Singaporean household is looking to have,» Brigadier-General Wilson Low, chairman of the NDP executive committee, told the media on Thursday (May 23).
As with previous NDPs, festivities will be extended to five heartland locations on Aug 10.
Known as Heartland Celebrations, Singaporeans can look forward to carnival activities, live performances, fireworks, as well as static displays by the Singapore Armed Forces, Singapore Civil Defence Force and Singapore Police Force.
More details will be released at a later date.
Theme song by Benjamin Kheng
Another thing that Singaporeans often look forward to for the nation's birthday is the NDP theme song, which is penned by singer-songwriter Benjamin Kheng this year.
