Interesting National Day news from Channel NewsAsia!
SINGAPORE: SMRT will fly 4,500 flags across the island to celebrate Singapore’s 45th birthday on National Day, getting into the act of fulfilling the theme of this year’s National Day Parade —"Live Our Dreams, Fly Our Flag".
This year, the public transport operator is joining NDP organisers to celebrate National Day by displaying flags at some 100 locations at all its offices, train stations, bus interchanges, as well as on SMRT taxis and buses and staff private vehicles.
Col Benedict Lim, chairman of the NDP 2010 Executive Committee, says: "We want to get the people into their celebratory mood. It’s important, and we’d like to urge all Singaporeans to fly our flag at our homes, outside of the car, in our hands and most importantly, in our hearts."
Singaporeans can look forward to getting into the spirit of NDP 2010 when all SMRT train stations, bus interchanges and Xchanges start playing the NDP 2010 theme song, "Song for Singapore" by Corrinne May.
And at 8.10 pm on August 9, SMRT will rally Singaporeans to participate in One Voice 2010, to recite the national pledge and sing the national anthem at all its train stations, buses interchanges and four Xchanges shopping areas.
SMRT is supporting NDP 2010 with close to 500,000 dollars worth of sponsorship.
