Redeem free national flag via Shopee under NDP 2025 initiative
Households here can now redeem a free national flag each on Shopee, in a partnership between the online shopping platform and the National Day Parade (NDP) organisers. The initiative, called Fly Our Flag, runs until 11.59am on July 15, or while stocks last, the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) said in a statement on June 27. To redeem the flag, go to log in with Singpass and choose to have the flag delivered at a cost, or collect it from a collection point for free. "This effort aims to make it easier for families to come together and proudly display the flag as a symbol of our shared identity and national pride," MCCY said on June 27. Singaporeans are encouraged to display the national flag during the National Day celebration period between July 1 and Sept 30, it added. During this period, the rules for flying and displaying the flag are relaxed. The flag may be flown without a flagpole and does not have to be illuminated at night. The flag may be displayed at offices, buildings and residential premises. The national flag should be treated with respect and used "in an appropriate and dignified manner", and torn or worn out flags should not be displayed, MCCY said. Instead, they should be put in a sealed black trash bag before disposal, and not left visible in rubbish bins. The use of the Singapore flag and national symbols is governed by the National Symbols Act and Regulations. The full guidelines on the display and use of the flag can be found here. Singapore will celebrate its 60th birthday on Aug 9. For the first time, the NDP live show will be extended from the Padang to Marina Bay. Themed Majulah Singapura, the 2025 parade will honour the past 60 years of Singapore's nation-building journey, and call on Singaporeans to celebrate the past and build their collective future together.
