Okay. I've had it with people saying that the NDP celebration is a waste of tax payers' money. That's not fair. Nobody said it when we have lavish Chinese New Year celebrations every freaking year. Only one race celebrates that. Nobody said anything about the Geylang Serai light-up, Deepavali light-up and all the crass Christmas decorations along the streets in town. This NDP is for everyone. No particular race, no particular religion and yet, it receives flak for celebrating the birthday of a nation?
Come on.
Look at the participants. I'm sure many of them did not want to be there but they did it anyway. Some felt a sense of duty, some felt that this is a contribution back to the country, some were forced of course while some just wanted to have fun. Whatever it is, it is easier to comment and complain from our couches but these people deserve all the lavish celebrations after all the hard work they had put in. Honestly, out of all the festivals and celebrations in the country, National Day should be celebrated lavishly cause honestly, it goes beyond colours and religions.
Anyway, watching OMG now and well, the acts which caught my eyes were all local acts. So, yes, there's hope for all of us Singaporeans. We can be Kings of anything, man.
