well said Raven1968,

people who came to watch the national day parade know about this, What is the use of parading on two different road, traditional boat sailing, fighter jets flying over head... all at one time. Ahhhh... Such a crappy plan.

And you will not allow the people to go near any of the road except they are skinned white or with a woman.

An event success is not by publicity or how much its cost, but how it served the purpose.
