NDP celebrations routed across the heartlands

Singapore

THE National Day Parade (NDP) took a different spin on Sunday, as the city-state celebrated its 55th year of independence amid a global pandemic.

Instead of having thousands gather to form a sea of red and white at the Padang or the Marina Bay Floating Platform, this year's NDP was split into two main segments - a morning ceremonial parade and an evening show - broadcast over live television.
