National Day Parade (NDP 2010) @ The Padang

By James

Hi Folks,

I’ve just attended the 1st official media brief (12 May 2010) for the upcoming National Day Parade 2010 or as most of you would call it, NDP 2010.

A lot of information about NDP 2010 was shared at the briefing and I’ll be very long winded if I attempt to share everything in one post.

So I’ll keep this short and to the point but follow up with the interesting bits in separate postings.

Theme

“Live Our Dreams, Fly Our Flag”

That’s the theme for NDP 2010 and this is what the Chairman, NDP 2010 Executive Committee, Colonel Benedict Lim has to say:

“2010 marks the 45th year of Singapore’s independence – a defining and significant milestone in the Singapore story. Flying our flag as a symbol of nationhood and hope is a yearly act for most of us during the National Day celebrations period. But this year we want Singaporeans to go beyond that by taking some time to reflect upon the nation’s achievements in a short span of 4 years, including social cohesion, racial and religious harmony, and how the nation had lifted itself time and again out of crisis. We want them to be inspired to live their dreams.”

I could not have said it better.
