This 9th August will see a bolder feat. A feat that requires 12,288 union members to come back to Padang once again, and form a BIGGER and BETTER human Singapore flag. This time round, we will attempt 2 formations, 1 in the day and 1 at night.
Singapore belongs to you. Let’s all stand together and do our country proud on National Day this year!
