7th August, Additional Holiday for SG50

Hurray, this year we have extra holiday on 7th August as we'll be celebrating Singapore's 50th years of independence. This long weekend will be a day for me to rest and perhaps visit Gardens by the Bay as there be 50% discount for the long weekend from 7th to 10th of August as we celebrate Singapore's Jubilee. Hopefully I get the NDP ticket to watch this year National Day parade. Anyway, I'm happy that all Singaporeans households get a free NDP funpack this year. In the past, only residents who attend the preview and NDP parades get the funpacks. 

Over the Jubilee weekend, Singaporeans get to enjoy discount rate or free admission at the following places;

1) Jurong Bird Park (50 per cent discount); 

2) Flower Dome and Cloud Forest (50 per cent discount, with free entry for seniors age 60 and above) at Gardens by the Bay

3) Free admission to the National Orchid Garden, Science Centre Singapore and ActiveSG swimming pools and gyms islandwide.
