We know National Day is round the corner when we hear fighter jets overhead and see our estates decked out in colourful orchid motif banners and flags. Singapore’s National Day Parade (NDP) is held annually on the 9th of August and is an eagerly anticipated extravaganza that marks Singapore's independence and brings together people from all walks of life. The parade serves as a momentous occasion to pay tribute to the nation's achievements, honour milestones, and rally Singaporeans for the future. This set of commemorative stamps relieves some of the iconic and memorable moments from recent NDP celebrations captured from the Padang, a site Singaporeans hold dear in their hearts.
