SAF Day Parade 2014 

The national anthem is for the president his Excellency president tony tan

The President should sing the anthem he's not a monarch ( King or Queen ) so that doesn't exempt him from singing the anthem. An example : China's Xi Jin Ping always sings his anthem, while the Queen does not.

+Meowth If you don't know the tradition, don't comment so much ... Go read S R Nathan's interview, he gave an answer previously about why the President of Singapore doesn't sing the national anthem. This applies to current Pres. Tony Tan.

***** Well ... like it or not, that's just part of the customs. It's not specially for *this* president, it's for *every* president. S R Nathan answered this question before, after he stepped down. And yes you sing to a nation and not to him, just that he happens to be the representative of the nation that you are singing to. Also, it's the same in UK where the Queen represents the kingdom as the monarch. So yes, the president / head of state / monarch etc. does not sing the national anthem.

Meowth agree

Ya

Soo

Hi Benjamin tan

quck seow hong

What do you mean he knows the pledge

He means that when he read why must he look at the paper for the pledge

Fatal Destiny why can’t he just check I doubt he knows the pledge too

Who knows maybe he dont

police and fire men got team work

He's the president he can do whatever he wants lol

Because this isn't the Karaoke and there's nothing that says it's obligatory for anyone to sing along to the national anthem in a formal military occasion. Do you see Queen Elizabeth singing God Save the Queen ever at the Queen's Birthday Parade at Horse Guards Parade in London? It's only in America you would over express yourself and sing to everything.

His lips is gold plated

Are you sure

Melayu is the language of the Malay archipelago (south thailand, malaysia, indonesia, singapore and brunei) used by our ancestors for thousands of years.

You talk so much why not you try doing fucker

You are a fan not a expert

@@gamerfong2261 i have been through that, NCC (plus advanced drills course), and even participated in the actual NDP. What else would you like to question me about?

@@thiskeithlee i never said I was though. If an average man with no culinary sense can criticise food, your irrational justification that people need to be an "expert" to point out flaws is just infantile

@Ultimaxx tell that to the russians and royal marine commandos.. lol

They are there to defence the country not to show you warrior faces.

@@patriot4786 Lets be real, SG forces kicked Indonesian asses back in Konfrantasi, having a warrior face don't win wars. Look at the Russians with their "warrior" looking force being ripped to shreds by Ukrainian civilians really disproved your BS✊

Eh ernie wtf u talking about. we show off our prowess and defense capability to avoid war in the first place. That is the army's prerogative, which to to prevent a war. so keep ur fuckin mouth shut lah
