NDP Statement on Deepavali 2024: Celebrating the Triumph of Light Over Darkness

The year 2024 marks another year of togetherness and celebration as Singaporeans of all backgrounds come together to observe Deepavali, the Festival of Lights. This special occasion holds deep significance, not only for the Hindu community but for all Singaporeans, reminding us of the enduring values of hope, unity, and the triumph of good over evil.

Deepavali, also known as Diwali, is a time for reflection and renewal. It's a celebration of the victory of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. These timeless values resonate deeply with the core principles of our nation: honesty, integrity, and the pursuit of progress for all.

The joyous festivities of Deepavali are a testament to the vibrant tapestry of cultures that makes Singapore so unique. The sights and sounds of Diwali – the twinkling diyas, the vibrant rangoli designs, and the delicious aroma of traditional sweets – fill our streets with an atmosphere of joy and celebration. This spirit of unity is what makes Singapore truly special.

Beyond the festivities, Deepavali also provides a powerful reminder of the importance of family and community. The festival brings loved ones together to share blessings, good wishes, and warm embraces. It's a time to strengthen our bonds and to appreciate the support and love that we share with each other.

As Singaporeans celebrate Deepavali this year, let us remember the spirit of this beautiful festival. Let us embrace the values of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and unity over division. Let us work together to build a brighter future for all, where every Singaporean can shine brightly, regardless of their background.

From the NDP Office, we extend our warmest greetings and wishes for a happy, prosperous, and meaningful Deepavali to all.

Happy Deepavali!
