  • It makes me proud to say the pledge with my fellow Singaporeans..!

  • You know the words.

    Mean What You Say,

    Say what you mean.

  • The chairman of the National Day Parade (NDP) executive committee, Brigadier-General Tan Chuan-Jin, 40, said: 'We did think of 8.44, but it was a bit too late in the NDP show. We also thought of 8.09 in honour of 9 Aug, but that would have been too early on in the show.

    'As the parade started shaping up, it looked as if it would take place around 8.20pm. We thought why not 8.22pm? It has a nice ring to it.'

    'Eight divided by two is four. And it is Singapore's 44th birthday.'

  • I am overseas and did the pledge at 8.22 singapore time, but any idea whats the significance of saying the pledge at 8.22.22?
