On 7 July 1974, colour TV made its debut in Singapore when the live-broadcast of the finals of the "1974 FIFA World Cup" (between West Germany and The Netherlands), narrated by Brian Richmond, was displayed in colour. About 2,000 colour TV sets were sold in Singapore three days before the match. Almost a month later, the Singapore National Day Parade (held at Padang) was broadcast in colour for the first time in all four languages.
