Do Singaporeans Still Care About National Day? | The Daily Ketchup Podcast

[@dthio]

John is so aggressively patriotic I love it! Happy National day guys!! :D and keep up the videos man i love these soso much it is the highlight of my days

[@noproblematallmate]

People have this feeling that NDP losing its meaning because they fail to see that they are grown up. For the younger ones, NDP is very interesting to them. I work in a Primary School and my tears flow everytime the students start singing along to the national day songs.

[@sitiphang2373]

HAHAHA 0:57 and 21:34 when Denise just whips out the flag with no warning

[@kimpoh911]

This podcast is getting better, good job!

[@1nsomniac]

Aw I’m glad to hear all this Singapore trivia! I don’t recall learning it back in school and it rly reminds me how proud I am of our country and how much I love being Singaporean :-) so meaningful that this got put out on National Day!

[@lemon2524]

Nice.

[@fraces6001]

I agree with John, the rest of the year we take SG for granted..just for one day should think back and appreciate what the country has given us. I always make it a point for my family esp after having kids to wear our SG colour on National Day and in our little way immerse in the celebration. Happy Birthday SG!

[@meiltoo]

i also went to LKY wake and queued for hours. imo, LKY is one of the rare politicians who had the welfare of the country as his main or only objective.

[@egin790]

have to say this show is so underrated, i don’t often comment on youtube videos but this channel deserves to pop off, love the content please continue 🙇🏻

[@kylietan1993]

I have really enjoyed all of the podcast and I look forward to see your videos every time you guys upload! The topics were all so fun and interesting! Please continue this podcast!

[@jianing_log]

I remember this one year when my family had tickets and that specific year, the Fun Pack had a brochure of all the Tanks / Planes / Military equipment that was going to be showcased and I was complaining about how long it was. Later I realised Singapore had invited Prime Ministers / other same status people from other countries to watch NDP and purposely had them come out right before so that they could see Singapore’s military might LOL. Their seat even had the Funpack with the same brochure 😬

[@ivory-o7y]

If I’m not wrong it should be the 2019 NDP

[@kingseiryu929]

Of course it is, even the 2019 mobile column, in a way it’s a good practice to test actual deployment speed through sg. In peace time, military actions have underlying meanings.

[@iyanh09]

I love john's patriotism hahah

[@Redoxon]

thank you John for remembering Singapore

[@sarahsimke]

I love the surprise everyone has abt jp being in charge of fireworks LOL .18:57

[@celestialstar124]

I love ndp. It give us the atmosphere and emotions that we are Singaporean. The bond is strengthen every time i watch ndp.

[@eeivriell]

I just gotta say, I'm so thankful for this channel and the cast's synergy and balance is so good. I love it when I see a millenial vs Gen Z moment happen. I've been watching this everyday trying to catch up. Thanks for the entertainment while some of us are working from home/office 💪

[@johnximus.mp4]

JP needs that hair style John has 🤣

[@reallyrendom]

JP with that hairstyle would be Sean Paul (SP) hahahah

[@jayshen84]

I loved NDP in school and peaked in NS....uni till my 30s I was meh...but now that I have a family and a kid... i have fallen in love again with NDP

[@abcabcx10]

so interesting to watch this ep! what was john doing in his NS? super curious (must've been really cool to have that experience w lky showing up in person too)

[@koon2038]

That indifferent flag-waving from Denise at 1:00 lol

[@celestialstar124]

Who else was so touched during ndp that they cried? Me😂

[@narutofreak95]

Omg john’s ndp story was epic hahahaha

[@Sharzliciousify]

10:10 DANIEL LAUGHTER PLS 😭😭😭😭😭 HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@Numbnuu]

I honestly look forward to this podcast everyday. 😅

[@xiaopang254]

Loving the podcast more and more!

[@celestialstar124]

I heard of the malaysia n Indonesia team up on our national day experiences from my parents and relatives. My mum actually cried for days because she is born in Malaysia and her relatives are still there. And dad n uncles are all call back from the logo on TV. The women in my extended family actually gathered at my grandparents house for comfort and security. But i didn't know about the little red dot information. Thanks for sharing

[@augustismyfavouritemonth]

same I will watch it for the first half, all the march pass, contingent, showcasing of tanks, trucks, weapon, parachute thing, jetplane.

[@benettelee7261]

Wish this podcast was more frequent. Do some LIVE casts, that would be fun

[@hancletube]

I think that "stand up" scene was with Wheel Smith lol. He was rocking (rapping) it!

[@tommytay5231]

Haha this episode forgot tiktok segment :( wanted to see yall do the NDP tiktok haha

[@chiahc]

I also remember that NDP when rumors were going on and we were all worried for LKY. When he came out, I was crying. I think everyone saw him as our own grandpa and there was a lot of reassurance with him around.

[@edamame5540]

1st time seeing JP not wearing slippers on the show. keep it up

[@JonathanPaulSXW]

Thank you boss!

[@edisonsoh]

love this series :)

[@jmin4951]

Happy national day y'all!!! LOVE your podcasts please continue with the same awesome vibes

[@Malewifee]

damn john i like your hairstyle a lot

[@funkmonkpunk]

That’s exactly why we have our own army! Thanks for bringing up that Johor exercise that is threatening our freedom.

[@drwtng]

5:20, you are correct. The NDP script is scripted to the second. Especially for the military components. It is very stressful at the control centre. LOLz.

[@irmanyazid]

'Cycle from Japan...' - J.P

[@arielleyeo2243]

Just stumbled across this podcast! Why have I just found out about this?? Hahahah y’all be really entertaining

[@jiaxuangoh]

Where did JP get this Space Jam tshirt from? 🥺

[@JonathanPaulSXW]

Asos. Shorts too.

[@jiaxuangoh]

@@JonathanPaulSXW thanks for replying! ♥️

[@SprinkleofWilly]

I was excited to watch it when I was in primary school but not anymore

[@wizzed]

I care about Singapore and Singapore's NDP! I'm patriotic af and if I were to be at the parade I would be crying when national day song is played

[@neekng1759]

wa john's hair gangsta sia

[@jkaethe]

i rmb my first National Day Celebration in school. I got so excited that I vomited cuz I thought it’s gonna be like NDP with the fireworks and red lions. Had my hopes way up and turns out it was just a flag raising ceremony, principal’s speech and some performances from teachers/guests. *facepalm*

[@tomryann86]

I do think NDP now caters more towards to PR’s & foreigners working living in sg but for true blue born singaporeans like myself I don’t think so.

[@koon2038]

Ya I agree, should put your face on the parade square

[@davidtan9101]

precisely... we singaporeans are treated like 3rd class citizens in our OWN COUNTRY. The FTs especially from "south asia" are treated like kings/queens..

[@Jack-hy2ki]

For everyone info. Fireworks are sponsored. Not everyone assuming it's taxpayers money.

[@juniorjr5328]

Singapore is for everyone

[@eupotatogin]

why john's hair so nice

[@mchliew3947]

John hair tho 👁👄👁

[@CanMakeIt]

Sorry John but fun fact! The first few TikTok dances were actually paid to dance studios to help make it go viral and spread the word on a dance competition! If I'm not wrong...

[@hardtart7545]

HAHHHAA PLOT TWIST

[@itzsarah3781]

The *parachute * people are called the red lions

[@kimijc]

can feel the same vibes as John hahahah

[@ksmd9589]

Woah John hair sia 🔥

[@r.i.pmaple8450]

I honesty never cared about it, its just money burning away in the forms of fireworks

[@bigmattwheel]

and ndp packs that never seem to be used. the only ndp pack I thought was best was last years because it was a canvas tote bag with cute graphics i wouldnt mind to be seen using, and hand sanitizer/masks

[@kankikan8584]

when i do not care about ndp, but watched a 20mins vid talking about caring about ndp

[@tyunxuan8]

You guys need to do daily tiktok with the national day dance 😂

[@sam5631]

funny sial :)) i think im addicted

[@yuyang4788]

i noticed the hair

[@itzsarah3781]

Hehe I hope people still care abt our nation🥺

[@ageofthegeekk]

John hair fucking hype

[@skorpionik]

Singapore is like the country version of Naruto

[@noproblematallmate]

Because we are all grown up. To the current generation, this current 'Boruto Singapore' is their Naruto. Every generation says the same thing about the past. The past, including childhood, always seem better than their current lives as an adult where there are extra commitment and responsibilites. No longer carefree like a student.

[@cyphioswh]

As a Malaysian, I can say that Singapore's NDP is way much better than Malaysia lol

[@BeachBoi1000]

I would watch if there are Hell March.

[@farrhanng]

I stopped balloting for NDP tickets already 🥱 cant relate to making my own fireworks 😪

[@YoutiaoVlogs]

Free public holiday haha other than that nope don't care And during primary school days I care about ndp. Or more like the free kfc 😅that era was when kfc was good, after eating the kfc wannabe zao more also cannot during primary school

[@clarifieryx7736]

If you allow yourself to be immerse into NDP, I'm sure you'll come to admire and enjoy it as well.

[@danishqaril8919]

*Seriously I don’t care at all. It’s just a normal day like any other day. It’s not like there’s a million dollars drop from the sky. I see fireworks I cry. Money fly away. Covid happens for a reason*

[@Callsign-Blade_RunnerSG]

I always tell myself it’s Good to be Patriotic but not be Nationalistic. Yes there is a difference. I also do not watch National Day celebrations cause it’s more or less the same every year. One more honest reason is that I also find it to be too much window dressing and flex when it comes to state of the art frontline military hardwares to show off but pathetic third world support vehicles. The double standards are appalling. It’s like a Tiger with SHARP FANGS but WEAK gums to hold them in place and so it’s only effective for 1st attack, after which the fangs will be STUCK on the body of the prey leaving the tiger TOOTHLESS! 🤣

[@skorpionik]

Eh yall gonna release uncut version anot hahaha put on onlyfans

[@teoweeli]

really don't care about NDP. It feels like the country is no longer for us and doesn't belong to us anymore.

[@angelicomdc9199]

[@liliwee7684]

Of course Singapore NDP better than Malaysia… Malaysians are really not bothered or take as much effort as Singporeans. I prefer watching your NDP.

[@973Gear]

NDP has gone from a national holiday to just another free day for all of the working population be like: "Oh, NDP. Free day for me to rest." NDP has lost its fire, and now (at least for this yr) the celebration is only for the foreign press to put SG in the temporal spotlight. Don't get me wrong, NDP in the 90s and early 00s were great. But NDP imo has lost on what is the *true* meaning on what is NDP. Celebrations can be fun, but they can get stale after a while.
