Happy 57th Birthday, Singapore!
It is a time of celebration in Singapore today!
Each year, on August 9th, celebrations and festivities are in full bloom. Independent from Malaysia starting from 1965, Singapore has evolved at a speeding light and has proven its unique and invaluable culture.
Every year, the mesmerizing display of parades, fireworks and artistic performances gather enormous audiences that commemorate our country’s glorious past and hope for a marvelous outlook on the future.
And to share a fun fact that is defining for our country, the name Singapore means The Lion City. Deriving from the Malay words, `Singa`- means `lion` and `-Pura` means `the city`.
Happy 57th Birthday, Singapore!
