This year, Singapore celebrates its 50th year of Independence from Malaysia on Sunday 9 August 2015.
It's coming up to that time of year again. When we hear the roar of the fighter jets as the RSAF rehearse for the National Day Parade flypast. If you're keen to catch a glimpse of the fighter jets in action, the CAAS (Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore) have released an Air Supplement schedule for airspace closure for the event.
This year, the Parade will be held at the Padang and there will be temporary road closures on the following dates:
- 20 June 2015, Saturday, for Combined Rehearsal
- 27 June 2015, Saturday, for Combined Rehearsal
- 4 July 2015, Saturday, for Combined Rehearsal
- 11 July 2015, Saturday, for National Education Show
- 18 July 2015, Saturday, for National Education Show
- 25 July 2015, Saturday, for National Education Show
- 1 August 2015, Saturday, for Preview Show
- 9 August 2015, Sunday, for National Day Parade 2015
The full schedule of times and roads affected can be found here.
And we think now is as good a chance to learn the National Anthem of Singapore so that we can all stand proud and sing together.
