Singapore Flag.
Ahead of Singapore's National Day, August 9th, the Singapore government has organized the distribution of a handy bag containing the Singapore flag to wave, and free masks and a thermometer for you before you leave home.
The householder collects the bag from a local distribution point by showing the NRIC (national registration identity card - equivalent to a passport) which is issued to all Singapore citizens and permanent residents.
What is the message?
1 The message on the bag is Together A Stronger Singapore.
2 The message is also the government is looking after you. I have seen lots of online discuss about what should be in the bag. The general opinion was a majority in favour of not spending on one off items such as baloons which would be thrown away and create litter. Instead, masks, items which were for the health of all ages and of permanent use.
The packet for the large flag has the explanation of the flag's meaning.
