National Day Parade
It reminds me of what I learnt about Roman history.The Roman emperors frequently held victory parades and celebrations for various reasons. Some celebrations were religious, like Saturnalia (which became adopted as Christmas, after the Romans converted from paganism to Christianity).
Most parades,though, were victory celebrations designed to remind the people of their Holy Roman Empire, and to inculcate imperial pride.
The Singapore National day parade doesn't seem to have a different goal.
