The National Day Rally has been a consistent annual event since 1966. The only time it was halted was in 2020, when PM Lee made a speech in Parliament because of COVID-19.
Last year, PM Lee delivered his speech in a Mediacorp studio in front of 2,000 attendees. It was also broadcasted via Zoom and television.
