SINGAPORE: This year's National Day fun pack will contain hand sanitisers, a thermometer and a face mask, as well as items that express “collective love and wishes for Singapore”, said Minister for Defence Ng Eng Hen on Friday .
Shortly after, an online petition started on Change.org to appeal to the committee for an option to opt out of receiving the fun pack, citing concerns about environmental wastage. As of Friday morning, about 112,000 people have signed the online petition.The bag for a fun pack will be a reusable grocery bag that is foldable into a small pouch, with designs by local artists with disabilities and Primary 5 students.
The fun packs will contain a full-sized national flag and a handheld one, as well as iron-on patches, a pledge card and a face tattoo, he added.

Each Singaporean and permanent resident household will be able to collect a fun pack. Collection is expected to be completed by Aug 2, the committee said.
I am shock ng eng hen said we still need to spend 2/3 of the cost on the parade. What parade, just do a virtual parade will do.
Why don't they sell them at cost plus and raise money to help the hard hit families by COVID19
And also, those who signed the petition. I hope you will honour it and not collect the fun pack.
Nice. Looking forward to receiving it. Wonder what the discount voucher booklet will contain this year.
