Frontline workers, including nurses, to receive salute in NDP 2020
SINGAPORE - Military Expert 2 Muhammad Khairunnizam Amran's decade-long involvement in National Day Parades will be marked with a special one on Aug 9, which is being held during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"It is extra special. I have seen her sacrifice in her heavy involvement with Covid-19 efforts. This lets me pay my compliments to her and show my admiration for her work," said the principle saxophonist with the Singapore Armed Forces band. The first parade rehearsal that was observed by the media took place on Sunday and several newly added features were showcased in recognition of the unprecedented times the show is now taking place in.
The National Day Parade organising committee said it hopes the"simple but dignified" parade this year will allow the country to strike a defiant chord as Singapore continues to face down health and economic travails. His role in maintaining the parade's formation this year will be especially onerous as participants are spaced further apart.
