What is Singapore National Day Celebration
Singapore National Day takes place in Singapore every year on August 9. It is a special day when citizens of the country come together to appreciate and celebrate their independence.
In 1963, a merger caused Sarawak, Sabah, Singapore, and the Federation of Malaya to become the Federation of Malaysia, in which Singapore was included. This was because Singapore being without natural resources needed Malaysia for a bigger market reach and job opportunities.
Later in 1965, due to some political and civil unrest, Singapore gained its independence from Malaysia. Singapore’s independence is remembered and celebrated yearly with exciting activities.
For instance, the Singapore National Day parade usually takes place in Marina Bay, the National Stadium, or the Padang. The parade usually includes officers of the Armed Forces, Police Force, Civil Defense Force, and some representatives of political parties.
There are also members of labor unions present during the parade. Students who are part of uniformed groups such as Girl Guides, Scouts, and diverse Cadet Corps. Additionally, the Singapore Air Force flies over the parade with numerous military aircraft.
