NDP 2019 Last Bus & Train Timings On 8 & 10 Aug

Our nation’s 54th birthday is in less than 48 hours, and a huge bash will be held at the Padang to commemorate it.

Those who aren’t watching the National Day Parade itself, but are heading to the vicinity to catch the fireworks via car, should take note of these major road and lane closures on 9 Aug.

Selected bus routes will also be altered, and train services extended to account for the difference.

Vehicles who anyhow park will be towed away

Strict “parking restrictions” will be adhered to, when it comes to peripheral roads near the area, say the police.

If any car is found to have parked “indiscriminately” or cause “obstruction” to any traffic, they will be towed away.

To ensure that the parade goes off without a hitch, kite-flying, unmanned aircraft (e.g. drones) and hoisting of balloons in the area are not advised during the entire duration of the event.
