Singapore National Day Parade 2009 – Full Video Collections on Wayang Times

Singapore’s National Day Parade for 2009 has just came to a successful end on Sunday.

Singapore celebrated its first National Day in 1966, one year after Singapore’s independence from Malaysia on 9 August 1965.

The first National Day Parade started in the morning at 0900. People came as early as 0700 in order to get good vantage points. Singapore’s first President, Mr Yusof bin Ishak and Singapore’s first Prime Minister, Mr Lee Kuan Yew, were seated with members of the government at the grandstand on the steps of City Hall.

Over the years, the Parade has become the biggest national event in Singapore. What is perhaps most memorable at each celebration is the fireworks display marking the climax of the parade; the sky would be bursting with the wonderful colors of the visual vista, dazzling it as well as the hearts of fellow Singaporeans. On this very special occasion, most Singaporeans would be decked out in patriotic colours – namely, red and white.
