Singapore is turning 60.
To celebrate, there a a myriad of events, but probably the biggest one is a National Day Parade held on August 9th.
They have been practicing for this for months.
Every Saturday afternoon they have been closing the roads used for the parade, so that they can have rehearsals, then dress rehearsals, then more rehearsals.
Yesterday the peace was destroyed by military aircraft blasting low overhead. Twice during dinner. Any loose fillings were at risk.Very loud. Rehearsing.
They take their National Day seriously.
They take everything seriously.
These photos caught about 4 Police Special Operations Command Units driving past Raffles.
I'm guessing they were involved in the rehearsals.
You certainly wouldn't want one of then rolling up to your street party on the weekend.
Serious people. They could teach Trump's ICE agents a thing or two.
It's amazing how such a small country has such a serious military. If we tried planning for some fighter jets to do a flyover in New Zealand, we'd have to borrow them. We haven't had any for 24 years.
The navy isn't much better supported. 2 ships.
Rumour has it that during the Falklands war in 1982, we offered to send a couple of frigates, but couldn't get them started. Just sayin'
