NDP 2020 MORNING PARADE GUIDE 9 AUG 2020 10.20AM INTRODUCTION: NDP 2020 MORNING PARADE The Morning Parade is called the Strength of Our Nation. We recognise and celebrate the strength of our people: their determination and resilience to overcome all challenges. We begin with a Parade at the Padang reviewed by the President. As the historic site of the first ever National Day Parade in 1966, the Padang serves as a fitting location to start a day of celebration. While the National Anthem is played at the Padang, flag-raising ceremonies will take place across the island as we call on Singaporeans to join in the Anthem Moment as one united people. For the first time, traditional NDP favourites will move across Singapore and throughout the heartlands. The “Fly Our Flag” aerial display comprising two state flags will fly past homes across the nation, while the “Roar of Unity” by our F-15SG fighter jets will soar around the island. On land, the Mobile Column will bring assets from the Singapore Armed Forces and the Home Team throughout the country. Our Red Lions will also jump into two heartlands locations while vessels from the Navy and others will participate in a maritime sailpast. These displays will also pay special tribute to our frontline fighters, essential workers, and everyday Singaporeans for their contributions and sacrifices as we collectively overcome challenges and emerge stronger. 2 NDP 2020 ANTHEM MOMENT SUN, 9 AUGUST 2020 Tune in to the Morning Parade at 10.20am! 2) NDPEEPS 1) MEDIACORP FREE-TO-AIR CHANNELS http://www.facebook.com/NDPeeps Channel 5, Channel 8, Suria, Vasantham https://www.youtube.com/NDPeeps 3 National Day Parade 2020 4 CONTENTS 1.
