In the evening, at aound 5pm on 9th of August every year, we have our National Day Parade held at the Marina Barragge. Our country president, His Honourable Excellency Mr S R Nathan will be present at the location to grace the event. Government - aided schools would go to the stadium to watch the rehearsal of the programme, which is held on the 26th of July. People living in HDB flats, also known as Housing Development Board Flats would hang the National Flag of Singapore to show respect towards the country.
