SINGAPORE: Following a relaxation of rules in 2007, the Singapore national flag now may be displayed on clothes and costumes during the period of National Day celebrations.

This period lasts from July 1 to September 30 each year.

A statement from the Information, Communications and the Arts Ministry said the national flag may also be flown on private and commercial vehicles alike during this time.

Decals, stickers, posters or other visual images of the flag may also be displayed freely.

The only requirement is that the flag must be treated with respect at all times.

Individuals and businesses are also encouraged to display the country's flag during this period when it can be flown without a flagpole and night illumination.

Foreign organisations are also invited to fly the Singapore flag as a sign of solidarity and friendship with Singapore.

Those with queries concerning the use of the flag or other national symbols can approach the National Heritage Board or visit Singapore Infomap
