This year's National Day Parade (NDP) theme song, One Singapore, may seem to have hit all the wrong notes, but Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said a whole "spectrum of responses" is to be expected with every new song.
Launched by organisers of the parade last week, the upbeat pop song was quickly slammed by netizens, who labelled it "childish and cheesy". Others have also questioned the need to have a new song every year.
"All of us will have our favourite, so I leave you to have your own favourite," said Dr Ng yesterday on the sidelines of the National Day Parade National Education Show 2, a preview of the parade for Primary 5 pupils.
When asked if a new song is needed every year, Dr Ng said that he would leave that to the NDP committee.
"The Minister of Defence mustn't try to crimp artistic style," said Dr Ng.
