However, as flags are exposed to elements of nature, they naturally fade or get damaged over time.

This year, residents with such damaged flags will be able to exchange them for new ones at Community Centres (CC) islandwide from Wednesday (21 Jul).

The initiative will likely come as great news for those with damaged or discoloured flags.

At the same time, we hope it encourages more residents to display the state flag to celebrate National Day and to cheer on our athletes competing in the Tokyo Olympics.
