A magical night as NDP returns to historic City Hall site while thousands in
heartlands join in celebrations too
By Jermyn Chow
FOUR minutes and six seconds.
Time seemed to hold its breath as the nation sang Home on Monday night as
Singapore's 45th birthday celebrations drew to a resounding close.
Eyes grew moist and hearts swelled with love and pride as Singaporeans joined
Kit Chan in singing the song considered by most as one of the finest odes to
the nation.
'This is Home, truly, where I know I must be,' they sang. 'Where my dreams
wait for me, where that river always flows...'
Ms Chan, a slender presence on a crescent-shaped stage, set the scene for the
One Voice moment at 2010 hours, or 8.10pm.
Following Home, the 26,500 people at the Padang as well as thousands in the
surrounding Marina area and in the heartlands rose to their feet.
