Mr Gerald Giam Yean Song: To ask the Minister for Defence (a) what are the reasons for allowing the National Day Parade (NDP) to proceed in the midst of Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) from 22 July to 18 August 2021; and (b) whether the event will increase the risk of the spread of infection to COVID-19 frontliners and essential workers invited to watch the NDP in person and who will thereafter be in frequent contact with members of the public.

Minister for Defence, Dr Ng Eng Hen:

As announced on 22 July 2021, the National Day Parade 2021 originally planned on 9 August has been postponed to 21 Aug 2021, after the scheduled end of Phase 2 (Heightened Alert). Stringent COVID-19 safety measures will be taken in the preparation and conduct of the event.
