\nGrowing up, one of the most special times of the year for me as a kid, aside from Christmas, was National Day which falls on 9 August. I always felt a sense of pride seeing the Singapore flags displayed outside homes, and I\u2019d try to catch the National Day Parade on television, especially the fireworks display.
\nWriting this issue\u2019s cover story on the Istana and its rich history left me wondering why I\u2019d never visited this grand palace. So, I\u2019ve decided to head down to the next Istana open house on 30 July, and hopefully go on one of the guided tours. Would anyone like to join me?

\nElsewhere in this issue, one industry expert gives his wishlist to the Prime Minister on possible enhancements in the property sector. Also, our PropertyGuru Great Singapore Specials campaign ends on 31 July 2017, so if you haven\u2019t already checked out the amazing new project deals on offer, turn to page 9.
\nHappy National Day!
