Small-scale evening performance
This year's NDP evening show will be of a smaller scale than previous years due to the Covid-19 outbreak.
It is set to take place at Star Vista.
The show will only feature between 80 and 100 people, which is a reduction of over 95 per cent from last year's NDP.
The parade, on the other hand, will take place in the morning at the Padang.
