Hordes of low SES coolie genes Sinkies in red and white have already gathered at City Hall area now dying to enter the parade ground. And it's not even 1pm now.

It's the same during the weekends for rehearsals and NDP preview shows.

Their uniformed NS slaves and ushers wearing red polo tees could be spotted all the way from Funan to Suntec. There's a clusterfuck of the people going to the NDP in the Citylink area near City Hall MRT station (Mixue and Luckin shops), and the entrance of Raffles City closest to the City Hall MRT escalators.

Good thing is they will all fuck off after today... and will come back next May or June. I also miss my walks across the Padang.

The new Sports Hub National Stadium is a terrible place to have the NDP, bad layout and terrible acoustics etc. Otherwise it could have been held there, sparing the Civic District of congestion and logistical hassle e.g. constructing the seats and barricades. The old Kallang Stadium was excellent for NDPs.

Ownself check ownself strikes again, with unintended negative consequences.

Calling it a critical milestone in the $1.33-billion, 35-hectare project, Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Lawrence Wong said: "I'm glad that we have reached this major milestone in the construction of the National Stadium. This is testament to the commitment and dedication of our partners to deliver the project on schedule. I've talked to many people in the sports community, and we are all excited about the completion of the Stadium and the Sports Hub."

(Bloomberg) — Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong pledged to “redouble efforts” to combat high living costs, including by strengthening social safety nets for the most vulnerable citizens.


As finance minister, Wong pitched a budget this year that included S$5 billion ($3.8 billion) for measures including cash payouts and tax breaks, a figure that will reach nearly S$40 billion by the end of the decade.

Wong Thursday outlined plans to help Singaporeans deal with “employment setbacks” and also enhance support for families. Details of the social safety measures will be announced later this month, he said, adding that the government will continue to cushion the impact of inflation with support measures including cash handouts.

I have only watched NDP live once in my life, and that was only a preview at the old national stadium.
I think it was in 1991 where the crowd were all True blue sinkies and it was a enjoyable experience for me.

(Bloomberg) — Singapore’s leader warned of challenges ahead as politics in many countries take a “vicious turn.”
“Across the world, we face growing populism, economic nationalism and protectionism,” Prime Minister Lawrence Wong said in his first National Day message since taking on the role in May.

He pointed to conflicts in Europe and the Middle East as well as increasing tensions between the US and China.
“These are powerful forces that shape our operating environment,” Wong said. “They are what keep me awake at night.”

Why not redouble effort to bring down the BTO, COE and number of ceca agreement?

Yesterday was a cooling night, I slept soundly after dinner. Never watch the NDP.
