SINGAPORE, July 26 (The Straits Times/ANN): Instead of the tens of thousands of spectators of past years, this year's National Day Parade (NDP) will have just around 150 spectators who are "representatives of society", Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said on Sunday.

NDP2020 will be broken into two segments, with a morning parade and ceremony held at the Padang, the site of Singapore's first NDP in 1966, and an evening show at the Star Performing Arts Centre.
