National Day is approaching, and although celebrations will be relatively smaller in scale this year in light of Covid-19, it’s brought about some pluses.
For example, every Singaporean and PR household is eligible to receive a free National Day Parade (NDP) Funpack, dubbed the Singapore Together Pack.
While collections only open on 20 Jul, you can now find out where you can go to collect your Singapore Together pack near your home from this website by Gov.sg.
Once 20 Jul comes, Singaporeans and PRs can chiong out of your home to your nearby Residents’ Committee (RC) or community centre.
Each household is eligible to 1 pack, and it’s optional.
In the hypothetical scenario where our President Halimah Yacob were to queue up for her Singapore Together Pack, she can go to the following places:
They’ll also let you know when the collection timings are, and the duration you can visit the RC/CC.
Do remember to bring your NRIC, otherwise you might not be able to collect your funpack.
There’ll be safe distancing measures and temperature-taking, of course, given the current Covid-19 guidelines.
No worries about getting lost as there’ll be signages telling you where and how to redeem your funpack.
We’ve previously covered the contents of what is believed to be the NDP funpack, but in case you haven’t seen it yet, you can check them out here.
Each Singapore Together pack will contain the following:
The website’s ready early, but there’s also a large notice telling people that collection timings haven’t started yet, if you try searching now.
You can collect the funpacks between 20-26 Jul at RCs, while you’ll have more time – 20 Jul – 2 Aug – if you’re heading to CCs.
2020 is a strange time for everyone, but NDP will be here to stay, even as most of us celebrate at home.
This is the time for everyone to come together as one Singapore and wave our flags while singing National Day songs in front of our TV screens.
