Singapore National Day is a public holiday in
Singapore to commemorate its
independence. Singapore was the administrative seat for the
Straits Settlements, a British crown colony, from 1867 until it was occupied by Japan in World War II. It was restored to Britain in 1945, became a part of Malaysia in 1963, and became independent in 1965. The holiday is celebrated with a spectacular parade, cultural dances, and fireworks.
