Over the years, the National Day Parade (NDP) has become more than a show or a celebration. It has become a national statement made by Singaporeans from all walks of life – about who we are and where we are headed.

"This is a significant year for the mobile Column…it is the 50th year in which we will see (them) participate in the National Day Parade (NDP), starting from 1969 at the Padang… and it is a chance to showcase the capabilities of our servicemen and women, who are important for the defence of our country."

With more than 2,300 youths forming the bulk of its performers, this year’s National Day Parade (NDP) Show segment is an inspiration for young Singaporeans to take ownership of their future.

Fifty years ago, Brigadier-General (BG) (Ret) Colin Theseira was one of the 36 officers who participated in the inaugural Mobile Column.

To mark Singapore's bicentennial, this year's National Day Parade (NDP) Parade and Ceremony (P&C) segment will feature 38 contingents instead of the usual 37, making this the largest number of contingents since 2005.
