On behalf of DBS, I am delighted to join in celebrating Singapore’s 61st National Day.

This year, Singapore celebrates 61 years of independence. 2026 also marks the 60th anniversary of the launch of Singapore’s Pledge, which is recited by Singaporeans on the 9th of August at our annual National Day Parade and other celebratory events throughout the country to commemorate our founding and purpose as a nation and people.

As Singapore marks its National Day, Sembcorp proudly celebrates our nation’s journey of resilience, progress and innovation.

Looking back at JULY UPRISING

Two years after the July uprising, its core aspirations remain unfulfilled as the government has ignored the reform agenda endorsed by the people through the referendum and the July charter, Jamaat-e-Islami Secretary General Mia Golam Porwar said yesterday.

Though the July uprising restored democracy and created conditions to protect people's rights, its broader goals and public expectations cannot be fulfilled overnight, BNP Secretary General and LGRD Minister Mirza Fakhrul Islam Alamgir said.

By late July 2024, deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina was aware that scores of protesters were dying on the streets across the country, yet her government doubled down on its heavy-handed response to suppress the movement.

To call it a tumultuous time would be an understatement. The state-sponsored massacre had reached a bloody crescendo, yet the iron grip of Sheikh Hasina seemed firmer than ever in late July and early August 2024. On some days, it felt as though law enforcement agencies would continue shooting until the bullets ran out.

Around 11:00am on August 5, 2024, Sheikh Hasina was told what she had refused to believe: the protesters could no longer be stopped from reaching Gono Bhaban.
