Remember when Singapore flags seemed to fill almost every HDB block in the lead-up to National Day? A recent social media post showing an HDB estate with almost no Singapore flags on display got people wondering if hanging the national flag has become a fading tradition. Curious, we decided to check a few HDB blocks ourselves. In some of the estate we visited, we could count the number of Singapore flags hung per block on one hand. Of course, displaying the Singapore flag has always been voluntary, and our observations aren’t representative of every neighbourhood in Singapore. But it does raise an interesting question: are fewer Singaporeans choosing to put up the flag today, or does it simply feel that way? With National Day approaching and Singapore celebrating SG60, we explore why the simple act of hanging the national flag still sparks conversation. What does your HDB block look like this year? Are your neighbours flying the Singapore flag, or has this National Day tradition quietly changed over time? #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #NationalDay2026 #NDP #SingaporeFlag

Is it just us, or does it feel like rats have been showing up everywhere in Singapore lately? From rats spotted on MRT trains and station platforms to hawker centres, HDB estates and even viral videos of rats fighting each other, sightings seem to be popping up almost every day on social media. But does that actually mean Singapore has more rats than before? Surprisingly, official figures from the National Environment Agency (NEA) show that the average number of rat burrows detected has actually fallen compared to last year. So why does it still feel like there are rats everywhere? In this video, we break down why rats are turning up in broad daylight, how they end up in unexpected places like MRT stations, and why social media may be changing the way we perceive the rodent problem in Singapore. #8dayssg #8dayssgtrending #rats #skngaporenews #singapore
