  "account": "On National Day Parade (NDP) 2023, Singapore's Member of Parliament and Senior Minister of State Tan Kiat How experienced a series of memorable events. Sharing his experience on social media, Tan expressed that the NDP was their best National Day gift.\n\nDuring the climax of the show, Tan's wife began to experience labor complications. Despite the situation, the baby remained patient enough for Isaac and Ayla, Tan's other children, to enjoy the entire parade - from fireworks to the national pledge. Following the event, the family returned home and proceeded to the hospital.\n\nLater that morning, Micah, their third child, was born. Tan expressed his gratitude towards the dedicated medical staff who provided excellent care to his wife and Micah throughout the night and subsequently in the morning. Tan already has two other children, Isaac and Ayla, with the latter born in 2023.\n\nNetizens congratulated Tan on the arrival of their newest family member, with some describing it as a blessing and an auspicious day.",
