National Day Parade commands - and what they mean

[@suekrishnan6880]

Colonel Ragu you made our nation proud ❤

[@andrewtran7787]

Majulah Singapura! Lieutenant Colonel Ragu seems like an awesome fellow!

[@philippang07]

We are keeping still here, for Singapore and you, Sir! Truly tall, lean and fit-looking Parade Commander with great presence - and a true reflection of the composure and command of a military officer on parade. Great vid - thank you.

[@barblee9615]

At last I know what these commanders from years ago were saying. Thanks for the translation.

Happy National Day. Proud of you LTC Ragu!! Vazthukal!!

[@Maplerszxc]

To those wondering why the commands are in Malay because Singapore national language is Malay. Same goes for the national anthem.

[@luftjager4966]

Singapore our homeland , its here that we belong, all of us united , while people marching on, we have come so far together for our destiny , Singapore forever , a nation strong and free, this is my country , this is my land , this is my future , this is my life... We are Singapore, Singaporean....

"Hormat panji panji". I'm a malay but I just find this command funny the way he said it😅

[@ponuruvens.r.3108]

😂😂😂 cheerful, MILITARY PERSONAL. Happy National Day LC Ragu!🎉❤🎉

[@tractiontraction]

just honestly curious, are the commands quite similar with the ones used by Malaysian armed forces? I am sure it is significantly different with Indonesian ones though.

[@rizaradri316]

For the most part it is the same. But, the Singaporean one is a bit different on the intonation. Malaysian: Ke kanaaaan pusing! Singaporean: Ke kanan puuuuuu-sing! The Indonesian one is the best one though. It's short and simple to follow

[@AbdillahTM]

in Indonesian: Hadap kanaaaan, gerak!

[@bowlampar]

Colonel Ragu practices his parade commands in his car and in his bathroom, but he doesn't realize it is also in his sleep and in his subconscious chamber.

[@LittleM_21]

It seems like almost every time someone of Indian descent pops up in videos, there will always be comments about CECA. This is blatantly racist and disappointing to say the least. Yes, there are many Indian/South Asian expats who work in Sg but have people forgotten that there are also Singapore Indians, i.e., Indians who have lived here even before independence and seen themselves as Singaporean?

[@ducati3241]

@vaishnavee2940Exactly!

[@aloysiuslee773]

its about time we memorise this for ncc

[@darerenin]

Cheers for the CO!

[@illuminatusdeus3051]

Inspirational Singapore. Chinese majority, Malay anthem and military commands, finally having an Indian leading the parade for a Malay lady President. The perfect message to the world on what Singapore is built on.

[@illuminatusdeus3051]

@joshuajoke5743 every country has issues joshua. Even in the US. So, let's have a proper perception and celebrate things Singapore has got right.

[@illuminatusdeus3051]

@joshuajoke5743 there is a subtle difference between fiction that is perfection and the perfect message. There is no perfect in this world, the sooner you realise it the better for you. There is only as good as it can be against sheer entropy. Do not misread, misrepresent and ultimately respond with a biased mindset.

[@illuminatusdeus3051]

@joshuajoke5743 funny how you can just side step how pathetically you read through my comments. I indicated this being a perfect message, and you, rather poorly, misinterpreted it to me stating that singapore was perfect. Well, let's just say that it is a matter of perspective then. For me, perfection is a fantasy, for you singapore isn't perfect, for others singapore is indeed perfect.

[@rogerchin7278]

This Year 2023 national day parade commander is Lieutenant Colonel Ragu.😀😀😀😀😀

[@bablooze9439]

Starting already a bit inaccurate... Baris mean "formation"... so Masuk Baris is more accurate to be "Get into Formation". He actually explained it better after the 20sec mark. Probably confusing because Parade is "Perbarisan"... and me correcting all these, Malay will tease me as "pembaris", which is the ruler for measurement.... hehe

[@Demonaro]

nice take, although "baris" isn't really formation, it is "row". In his explanation, the word "baris" has been used to represent the contingents (noun), also the reason why the word "perbarisan" isn't used to refer to the contingents is because the word "perbarisan" is a noun describing the act of being in rows "berbaris".

[@Diderot68]

Any discussion of what these Malay terms mean earns my thumbs up. 👍

[@MrAntonio231288]

Anyone has any info regarding the past parade commanders. Since day 1. Who and where are they.

The only time i heard singaporean speaking a few Malay words Its sad to see the later generation dont understand the simple Malay words mean😢 After all, Singapore was once a Malay country, and ijnsoutheast Asia Its weird to see Southeast Asia country that their own people dont understand a words of the most spoken lamguage in that region😂

[@t.c9081]

Malay isn't really a language. It is copied and roja from another language. South East Asia was rule by India, who were the earliest seafarers and traders. I am only stating historical facts.

[@Maplerszxc]

​@@t.c9081 Malay is spoken in Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei and other parts of Thailand, Philippines and Australia. So your point is?? Its not a real language?? 😂😂

[@blueshirt26]

It would be hard to command in a language of which only 18% of the population understands but keep up the good work. Malay is the traditional language of Singapore and should be respected as such since Singapore is part of the Greater Malay world and cannot be separated from Singapore's landscape.

[@Diderot68]

Any one questions why our parade commands are still in Malay? When I was in the army, the commanders did not bother to explain what the words meant but we were supposed to react mechanically. I believe most Singaporeans don’t understand the commands too.

[@ElectroDuckyMusic]

Same since primary school I had been singing the national anthem every days but doesn’t know what each and every single words meant.

[@Diderot68]

@@ElectroDuckyMusic You are definitely not alone. I only understood our national anthem after I have worked in Indonesia for a number of years and picked up some Bahasa Indonesia. I had my Indonesian colleague explain our national anthem to me. Don’t think my daughter understands the anthem.
