SG50 Jubilee Weekend
As Singapore marks 50 years of independence this year, the President has declared 7 August 2015 (Friday) a public holiday. This will make for an extended Jubilee Weekend over the 7 to 10 August period so as to enable all Singaporeans to participate in commemorating this special milestone in our nation’s history.
“SG50 is a unique moment in our young nation’s history. It is a time for us to show appreciation to our pioneers, to strengthen our ties as one big Singaporean family, and to celebrate all that is special, all that we love, about our home. Many Singaporeans and organisations have come up with ideas on how to make SG50 meaningful and personal.”
Over the Jubilee Weekend, special programmes have also been prepared for Singaporeans around the island. Our museums and heritage galleries will remain open for Singaporeans to revisit and experience afresh the journey of Singapore’s story.
