Context/background :
Weeks before the actual (Singapore) National Day parade on 9 August every year, it will host several rehearsals shows that allow audiences to join and watch the show, typically on multiple Saturdays before 9 Aug. The performance shows are introduced to all of the Primary 5 school students as the Govt believes the show is a great way to get them to learn about Singapore’s identity and heritage/giving them a sense of belonging. Hence, the name ‘NE show’ (National Education show) cough not a propa- The schools are allowed to specially use the MRT privately to get to/from the parade and school venue as most students have to be gathered/dismissed from their respective school venues and not at the parade site. (Most likely for crowd control/safer way to return home for children)
MRT is a more efficient/safer way to transport a large crowd of people to their respective venues compared to buses anyway.
The Parade site this year is at Padang so they will board at Raffles Place station after their NE show ended.
