One people, one dress code, please

  TUESDAY'S National Day Parade marked another evening of joyous celebration of Singapore's birthday.

  Next year, I hope to see a tweak in the dress code of our Members of Parliament (MPs). MPs from the People's Action Party and the Workers' Party were dressed in their respective party colours of white and blue.

  This should change.

  The National Day Parade is a celebration of citizens, united as one people, regardless of race, language or religion - and more so, political differences.

  It should be a significant annual event uniting all political leaders to celebrate Singapore's birthday.

  I hope future parades will see all MPs dressed in the national colours - a combination of red and white or the official orchid-patterned shirts and dresses.

  MPs must make an effort to stand as one united people to serve the people of Singapore. They should take pride in their efforts to lead in nation building, and not show off their political party colours.

  In future, community events organised and funded by the Government should also be free from the hint of promoting a political party.
