ON SUNDAY, one woman stood out from the crowd at the National Day Parade (NDP) as the cameras lingered on her five times during the three-hour live telecast.

She looked every bit the patriotic Singaporean - dressed in red, waving a flag, singing along to Singapore's national songs. She also appeared to be aware of the camera's focus on her.

The mystery beauty turned out to be Emma Li,  李媛媛 (Lǐ yuàn yuàn), 29, a Chinese national who is so bowled over by Singapore that she wants to apply for permanent residency and settle here.

The beauty has drive, too, working as a managing director for a company she set up.



She is the managing director of SinMetal International Pte Ltd, and is every inch a modern, career-driven woman who regards Singapore as her home.

She had watched the fireworks at Marina Bay in 2012 and 2013, but was eager to go for the Jubilee NDP this year for a personal reason.

Miss Lee told The New Paper in Mandarin: "I wanted to attend because I knew that the NDP would be grander this year and it coincided with my lunar calendar birthday."

She put out the word six months ago and a friend surprised her with two tickets.

So Miss Lee flew her mother over from her home town in Chengdu, Sichuan, to join her for the long weekend.

She said: "This is the first time I have watched the parade live. Everyone was so united."

Excitedly, Miss Lee recounted how they were both moved by the parade.

"I told my mother that in Singapore there is no race, we are all equal and we respect everyone regardless of race and religion," said Miss Lee.

After graduation, she set up a local firm, now called SinMetal, that supplies aluminium to companies, including handphone and boat manufacturers.

She said: "I started my company in Singapore because it is fair and transparent."

Miss Lee said she was unaware of her 15 seconds of fame at the parade. "I did not know the camera was on me."

But since then, she has been getting a lot of attention online.

Singapore humour site, SGAG, even tweeted a screengrab from the telecast with the lyrics, "This is where I won't be alone", from the classic National Day tune, Home.

Along with the post was a caption: "She definitely won't be alone after this. #NDP2015 #chiobu."

As of Tuesday, Miss Lee has had up to 100 friend requests and private messages on Facebook and China microblogging website Weibo.

"The messages I received were not threatening or creepy, they were things like, 'I want to be your friend and I'm from China too.' " she said.

"Singapore is a harmonious country," she said. "I especially felt that at the parade when we did the Padang Wave together without any prior rehearsal. Everyone was like one big family."

Still single, she hopes to stay in Singapore.

In fact, Miss Lee likes Singapore so much, she hopes to find a Singaporean man. She said: "If there is an opportunity, I will marry someone from Singapore."



She added that she would consider dating a Singaporean man as she is single right now, but that she wouldn't force the issue as she was focused on her career.

We've got a slightly wet and drizzly morning ahead of us, but it's cloudy weather the rest of the day, according to NEA's forecast. Here's hoping for a rain-free parade - the last time the heavens opened during an NDP, if you recall, was in 2008.

Mr Steven Lee, the man behind historic broadcast of Proclamation of Independence
While he was part of a historical moment, the radio announcer who read Singapore's Proclamation of Independence in 1965 had his mind on another crisis at home that happened a few days before.

Mr Steven Lee's first child, born on Aug 3, had heart palpitations and had to be warded in hospital longer than usual for observation.

By 09 August 1965, his son was back at home but, that morning, Mr Lee was asked to rush to the radio station.

He answered the call of duty despite being on leave, not realising then the significance of what he had to read that day. At 10am, in his rich and deep voice, he read the proclamation over then Radio Singapore. This document, signed by founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, declared that Singapore "shall forever be a sovereign democratic and independent nation".

Mr Steven Lee's wife Amy, 75, told The Straits Times yesterday she realised what had happened only when he came home that day and said: "We are no longer with Malaysia." . . . . . . .

Mr Lee died in 2002, aged 64, from complications from a second heart transplant. He is known for being the first newsreader to appear on television here in 1963, often wearing his black-rimmed glasses. He had a long career of almost 40 years in the radio and TV business, working at Rediffusion radio station, Radio Singapore and Singapore Broadcasting Corporation.

A girl enjoying the National Day Parade at the Padang on Sunday. She was among some 1.7 million people who participated in the jubilee celebrations over the past four days, said Education Minister Heng Swee Keat yesterday. A factor that contributed to the "huge turnout" was the extra public holiday on Friday, he added.
