After a severe tongue-lashing from Shamugam, SMRT CEO Saw Phaik Hwa is trying real hard to get back into PAP's good books by flying 4500 flags, as well as forking out $500,000 worth of sponsorship. This half-a-million sponsorship will likely come from the recent fare increase.

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."
SMRT is also offering another route to beat the crowd for those with tickets to the parade at the Padang.
Saw Phaik Hwa, president and CEO of SMRT Corporation, says: "We've just opened our Circle Line, where we have a new station, the Esplanade Station, right in the very heart of all the NDP activities, so this year, Singaporeans will find it even easier, faster to come to the NDP events."
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.
