But there was no National Day until 1966.. National Day commemorates the Independence of Singapore from Malaysia and British Rule in 1965. A year later on August 9, 1966, Singapore had its first National Day held at Padang. This Sat is Nov 23 and the 43rd Death Anniversary for our first President Yusof Bin Ishak who died at age 60.
+Bay Sean It's the National Day of Malaysia. What was meant by "independence" was not complete sovereignty but instead the "non-dependence" of the British as leaders of our own land. So it's not wrong to call it a National Day because it is celebrated by everyone, both Malayans and Singaporeans.
The NDP here is because Lee Kuan yew don’t want wait for results of east Malaysia. He want to force the Malaysia to absorb Singapore. The British could have punished Lee and PAP but decided to ignore him because they want to leave.
Note the accent and level of English spoken then in the the 60s... Big difference as compared to now....
