NDP 2011 : "Majulah! The Singapore Spirit"
Areas of Historical Significance in Singapore
Date of Issue : 8 August 2011
50 cents stamp : Joo Chiat
Joo Chiat is situated between Marine Parade and Geylang in the eastern coastal region of Singapore. In its earlier days, it was known as Confederate Estate Road, and was renamed in 1917 after Chew Joo Chia, a major land owner there. In July 1993, Joo Chiat was gazetted as a conservation district. Today, the shophouses and bungalows in Joo Chiat still retain the typical architectural styles of the early 20th century.
National Day Parade (NDP) is the celebration for the independence of Singapore on 9 August 1965. The theme for NDP 2011 is "Majulah! The Singapore Spirit". Majulah means “Onward!”.
A very nice NDP 2011 card from Singapore. Thank You very much to my friend
