The next two editions of the National Day Prairie NDP in 2024 and 2025 will continue to be held at the Podal, similar to this year's event. The annual celebration of the founding of the city state had been held at the float at Marina Bay in 2021 and 2022. Before this year's NDP was moved to the Podal, as the float is being redeveloped into the NS Square. Maustons will be commemorated in both upcoming NDPs. Next year's edition coincides with the 40th anniversary of Total Defence. Singapore's National Defence Concept, while the 2025 edition will mark 60 years of Singapore's independence. Brigadier General BG Low Wilson, Chair of the NDP-2020 for Executive Committee, said in a media release by Ministry of Defence Min-Deaf on Friday, September 29, having NDP-24 in the city gives special meaning to what Total Defence is all about. We hope that as Singaporeans gather at the Podal and Marina Bay next year. They will be able to look around them and be immersed in our beautiful skyline that reflects our social, military and economic achievements and that together we will remember our history. Celebrate our achievements and aspire to build a brighter future for our next generation. BG Low, who is also the Chief Guards Officer and Commander of the 21st Singapore Division. Edit that, for the first at an NDP, there will be a Total Defence 40 Dynamic Defence Display at the Podal, with LN components from the Singapore Armed Forces, the Singapore Police Force and the Singapore Civil Defence Force working hand in hand. The NDP festivities and the Dynamic Defence Display are set to be extended to the Marina Bay Area, so that more Singaporeans can be involved in the celebrations. As for NDP-2025, celebrations will comprise the integrated show at the Podal, live celebrations in the Marina Bay Area as a satellite site, as well as Hardlands festivities.
