SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): In a grand celebration of Singapore’s diamond jubilee, tens of thousands descended on the heart of the city-state on Aug 9 to usher in the Republic’s 60th year of independence.
To allow more to soak in the pomp and pageantry of the birthday bash, parade organisers extended the celebrations beyond the Padang to Marina Bay, where about 200,000 gathered.
