Singapore will celebrate its 41st year of independence on Aug 9. What does National Day mean to you?

Last time on NDP when I was younger, would bury myself in history books of Singapore.
But strangely, as I grow older, this sense of fanaticism I used to had died off bit by bit.

Of government, politics, the nation and patriotism.... Is it really possible to discuss these 4 issues seperately? Or are these 4, whilst seperated, inevitably linked and intertwined where its merely a game of balancing the scales played by politicians in power?
The last 2 World Wars isn't just a war of ideals or dispensing justice, but also a political game of war played to the cost of millions of lives.

madmacs said:i had not been to NDP for many years, and N day became just a holiday for me...until this year. being at the stadium among the enthusiastic crowd, the atmosphere does get to me. its a really great feeling. if you have been around in the 70's and earlier, it does remind you of how far we have come.
