Get a sneak peek into what happens before NDP without having to sit in front of your TV

SINGAPORE -  If you've ever wondered what happens before the parade on National Day, you will now finally be able to catch a glimpse without having to be in front of your TV.

For the first time, a live-stream segment of the parade will be shown to the public starting from 3pm on Aug 9.

The 2-hour continuous programme will be shown on the Facebook pages of zaobao.sg, Lianhe Wanbao and Shin Min Daily News, and also streamed exclusively on zaobao.sg and RINGS LIVE app.

Netizens will be able to catch live look-ins, behind-the-scenes interviews and other highlights of the National Day pre-parade.

A production crew of about 15 producers, reporters and videographers will be bringing the live action from three different locations: The Float @ Marina Bay, the F1 Village and the Marina Bay Paddock. 

Unlike television where interaction is mostly only one-way, with the live-streaming on the Chinese sites, viewers can interact with the hosts in real time and win prizes by doing so.

Prizes worth a total of $16,000 are up for grabs from Gain City.

Viewers can participate in the contest by downloading the RINGS LIVE App at https://rings.tv/download. They can also take part in a series of interactive games during the live-stream programme.

In addition to the live-stream programme, netizens will be able to enjoy two days of free and full access to zaobao.sg’s premium digital content and e-paper over the National Day holiday for the second consecutive year.

Ms Lee Lay Ming, executive content producer of Chinese Media Group Digital, will be one of the ground hosts of  this live-stream programme.

Ms Lee said: "I'm really excited to be part of the show because I'm interested to know what goes on behind-the-scenes before the National Day Parade. I hope we can bring a different NDP experience to our viewers.”
