National Day Celebrations
Everyday can be National Day, as long as the nation is in our hearts. Why should we celebrate national day specifically on 9 august every year, when we celebrate it every day. So, there’s no need to celebrate national day. But, people still celebrate national day. Perhaps action is needed to show our love for the country, so the government organizes the National Day Parade (NDP) annually and many Singaporeans also dress up in red and/or white on that day to celebrate that day. Nation in our hearts means loving the country. We can love the country by saving the environment. We can reduce, reuse and recycle (the 3 R’s). However, people are not practicing it daily. People litter and waste resources every day and this worsens during and after NDP. People litter indiscriminately and measures by the government have failed. So it defeats the purpose of NDP. So, let everyday be National Day.
