Honouring the Merdeka Generation

Born between 1950 and 1959, the Merdeka Generation grew up during the tumultuous years of the 1950s and early 1960s. They steered the labour force in turbulent times, building a sturdy foundation. The men of the generation were among the earliest to serve National Service, while some of the women left school early to support their families.

Together with the Pioneer Generation, they have contributed greatly to Singapore during a time of struggle, hardship, and sacrifice.

You are eligible for the Merdeka Generation Package if you: • Were born from 1 January 1950 to 31 December 1959; and • Became a Singapore citizen on or before 31 December 1996.

The Merdeka Generation Package is also given to seniors who: • Were born on or before 31 December 1949; and • Became Singapore citizens on or before 31 December 1996; and • Do not receive the Pioneer Generation Package.

Merdeka Generation Tribute Event

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong hosted over 200 representatives of the Merdeka Generation at a Tribute Event at the Gardens by the Bay. They included dedicated volunteers, public officers, business leaders and Singaporeans from all walks of life, many of whom continue to actively serve their communities and the nation today. Singaporeans will be able to watch the video on Free-to-air channels, selected cinemas and various digital platforms including Gov.sg’s YouTube page.
Guests were also treated to performances by cultural luminaries and fellow Merdeka Generation members Dick Lee, Jacintha Abisheganaden, Mel Ferdinands and Rahimah Rahim. They debuted the Merdeka Sayang song, sung to the tune of the well-loved Rasa Sayang. Penned by Dick Lee, the lyrics convey the pride of the Merdeka Generation for the instrumental role they played in shaping Singapore’s progress, and the can-do spirit they lived by and continue to embody today.
To evoke memories of Singapore of yesteryear, art murals depicting the old sights of Singapore, such as street-side hawkers and old HDB estates, were installed, allowing guests to reminisce their past as we celebrated their contributions to Singapore.
