NDP 2021 may be held at the Float Marina Bay 'if situation allows': Ng Eng Hen
Dr Ng said that even if the COVID-19 pandemic persists in August 2021, he is certain NDP 2021 will carry on, just as how this year's parade went ahead.
"This is a virtuous trait that we should further support and encourage in subsequent NDPs, even when conditions allow us to hold centralised NDPs," he added. "I’m not making an edict here, but I'm just asking that subsequent study what Singaporeans are asking for, which elements can be incorporated at every NDP at a sustainable level, and of course, depending on the ground support for these activities," said Dr Ng.
Crowds could not gather to watch the parade, nor were mass performances allowed to take place due to COVID-19. The minister said he was glad that Singaporeans chose to come together during this year's NDP to celebrate the country's"unity, resolve and resilience as one people"."Whether it was during the decentralised flag raising ceremonies across the island, the mobile columns, the Red Lions in the heartlands, the naval sailpast or the F15s and Chinooks in our skies – Singaporeans did not shy from showing their support.
