SINGAPORE — The decision on the venue of next year’s National Day Parade (NDP) will be made by the end of the year, said Acting Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Lawrence Wong.
Mr Wong was responding to a question by Nominated Member of Parliament Nicholas Fang, who wanted to know if the new Sports Hub will be ready for use for the NDP next year.
Giving an update, Mr Wong said the construction of the Sports Hub is currently progressing on schedule, and should be able to begin operations in April as planned.
He added that this means the new National Stadium would technically be available for the NDP in August next year.
However, he said NDP organisers are considering logistical and operational requirements — including sufficient lead time for rehearsals — before deciding on the venue of the parade. CHANNEL NEWSASIA
