Floating Platform
Officially witnessing the event were more than a dozen military personnel from the Army and Navy, members of staff from the DSTA and various other governmental agencies. Also present at the inaugural event was Chairman of the NDP '07 EXCO, COL Teo Jing Siong.
Speaking to some of the guests present, COL Teo explained that the Floating Platform was the largest performance floating platform in the world and was designed with numerous innovative considerations in place. Features like an internal drainage system, cabling structures and lightning conductors that can safely dissipate the charge from a lightning strike make this an extremely efficient and safe venue for hosting different types of events.
One of the events that will take place on the platform would be the National Day Parade. With the developing of the National Stadium into a sports hub still in its infant stages, the platform will act as the temporary venue for future National Day Parades starting with NDP '07. With a seating gallery that can seat over 30,000 already in construction along the shoreline, NDP '07 would be the first ever National Day Parade to be held within Marina Bay, opening up a whole new avenue of challenges and excitement for Singapore's birthday bash.
The whole process of constructing the entire platform consists of four stages and numerous other pieces that likewise, have to be towed into the bay and assembled piece by piece. Once within the bay, the slabs are floated into precise positions before being locked into place with their corresponding slabs using a system of specially designed joints and connections. Pylons piled into the seabed act as the foundations for the entire structure. Upon completion, the platform will be linked to the shore via 3 link ways. According to COL Teo, the link ways are designed with special integrated joints that can move up and down with the platform as it is affected by the rising and lowering tides of the bay.

NDP @ Marina Bay 2007 Concept
Transforming the new downtown into a bay of celebrations
NDP @ Marina Bay 2007 will transform the new downtown into a bay of celebrations.
More people will be able to watch the National Day Parade (NDP) 2007 from various vantage points along the waterfront around Marina Bay. There is standing space for about 150,000 people - in addition to the 27,000 spectators at the seating gallery - to soak in the celebratory atmosphere and mood.
The theme for this year’s NDP is Celebrate Singapore: City of Possibilities. This theme reflects optimism and pride as Singaporeans from all walks of life come together to celebrate our nation’s independence. Singapore is today a city of possibilities because Singaporeans are hardworking, innovative and enterprising in creating and seizing opportunities.
Singaporeans are multicultural, and we respect diversity. We welcome newcomers to our shores. This helps to make Singapore a microcosm of the world, and reflects what is possible with determination and effort.
NDP @ Marina Bay 2007, to be held on what is possibly the world’s largest floating performance stage, will retain traditional parade favourites to wow spectators. It will also feature fresh aspects with performances that make use of the waters in the bay and the skies above it as extensions of the performance stage, with the familiar Singapore skyline as a giant backdrop.
The key highlights of NDP @ Marina Bay 2007 are:
- A one-hour pre-parade concert featuring local singers, dancers, musicians
and theatre actors to entertain spectators who arrive early. - A dynamic defence display at the end of the 50-minute parade and
ceremonial segment to showcase Singapore's Total Defence capability. This will be a fitting tribute to all National Servicemen as we also celebrate 40 Years of National Service this year. - As night falls, a 50-minute light, sound, water and pyrotechnics show will illuminate the city skyline at Marina Bay.
NDP @ Marina Bay 2007 is organised by the Singapore Combat Engineers and supported by a host of public and private sector organisations. The executive committee is led by the Singapore Armed Forces' Chief Engineer Officer, Colonel (COL) Teo Jing Siong.
"For this year's parade, there were no templates from previous years for us to follow," said COL Teo. "We had to start planning everything from scratch."
"My team and I have been working on NDP @ Marina Bay 2007 for the past two years, and we will bring a refreshing NDP to Singaporeans," he said.
"Holding the NDP and other celebratory activities around the bay will bring an exciting buzz to the area. This helps to make the new downtown at Marina Bay a vibrant place, not just for doing business, but also for entertainment and leisure for all Singaporeans," added COL Teo.
