SINGAPORE: Every National Day Parade has its viral moment – an unexpected, heartfelt scene that captures the nation's attention.
This year, that moment belonged to 17-year-old Htoo Ank Wai, a dancer whose tearful rendition of the national anthem touched hearts across Singapore.
“I just remembered looking around, it just felt like I didn’t want to lose this moment forever, but obviously it had to end,” said the Higher Nitec student from the Institute of Technical Education (ITE).
“It was like post-concert depression, but you’re the artist. You don’t want to leave this place and you want to continue performing.”
Despite being a permanent resident whose parents are from Myanmar, Ank Wai said he felt an overwhelming sense of connection and pride while performing in the NDP. He took part in the pre-parade segment, the fourth act and the finale.
“I was born and raised here. I was grateful to be living in a country where there are many opportunities for me to experience and live from,” he told CNA.
As tears streamed down his face during Majulah Singapura, he thought of his late grandmothers in Myanmar, recalling their concern for him.
“I remember my grandmothers asking me: ‘Is Singapore really stressful for you? Are you doing well in Singapore?’” he said.
“They always tell me if it’s too stressful, can come back to Myanmar and live a life here, go to school here.

Now there's a real risk Russia cosies up with US against China. Happened before. So can happen again
The US is cautious in its approach to engaging with Russia, while simultaneously seeking to establish a meeting with North Korea.
Meanwhile, the US has come to realize that the Ukraine conflict has been a prolonged and costly endeavor, spanning over 3.5 years. During this time, China has made significant advancements in its military capabilities, including the development of advanced weaponry, vessels, and a space force. Additionally, China has expanded its presence in outer space and on the moon, and has seen substantial growth in its commercial, financial, and trade sectors.

It has been costly for Russia too. That's why a land exchange for Eastern Ukraine must be part of the deal.
Zelensky should have settled for a ceasefire during the Istanbul meeting 3.5 years ago. Instead he believed in Biden and Boris Johnson's promises. Now everyone's fucked
