National Day is always special. This year’s Parade expressed well our love for Singapore, our home. The show was spectacular and touched our hearts. The crowd was in high spirits. This was a celebration, but also a rededication, especially when we all said the Pledge together.
NDP has become a rite of passage for many Singaporeans – regular and NS servicemen; students from uniformed groups and the choir, and volunteers from different associations.
While NDP 2012 has ended, I hope Singaporeans continue to rediscover what we love best about our home, through the initiatives by the NDP 2012 EXCO (http://www.ndp.org.sg/whats-new/).
To Colonel Desmond Tan and his team, and all the participants who worked so hard on this year’s Parade – a Big Thank You!
I wish all Singaporeans, at home and overseas, far off and near, a Happy 47th National Day. - LHL
