Happy 48th Birthday Singapore!

August 9th marks the National Day of Singapore. Contrary to what I had previously thought, Singapore gained independence through separating from Malaysia in 1965 and not from under British Crown. To a great extend autonomous Singapore had intentionally merged with Malaysia already few years prior to that and thus ending being a part of the British Commonwealth.

A big thing on the National Day is apparently the National Day Parade which is running a particular theme for each year. This year's theme is Many stories... One Singapore. This particular story shown on the video took me by surprise.
