For the very first time in abt 30 years, the fireworks appear at the Singapore River on the Sat evening of 3 Aug 2019 to celebrate the nation's bicentennial year since the founding by Sir Stamford Raffles 200 years ago in 1819 ruled by the British.

We also celebrate 60 years of its self government since 1959 when we left the British rule after 140 years. The late Mr Lee Kuan Yew became our founding Prime Minister aa the PAP voted into power.

It is also a week more to Singapore's 54th National Day celebrations.

P. S. As we stood at the Singapore River outaide ACM, it was hard to hear the singing medley of National songs such as This is Home Truly.
