The term SG50 has since been used to refer to the celebrations as a whole.[1]National Day Parade ceremonies for that year are themed Majulah Singapura - Our Golden Jubilee.


Thailand


The golden jubilee is a royal ceremony to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the accession of the king. The Thai word is kanchanaphisek (กาญจนาภิเษก). The first Golden Jubilee of Thailand was the celebration of King Bhumibol Adulyadej.



The celebration


King Rama IX celebrated his golden jubilee on 9 June 1996, having acceded to the throne in 1946. He was Thailand's longest-reigning monarch.


The 545.65 carat Golden Jubilee Diamond was purchased by Thai businessmen as a gift for the king on the 50th anniversary of his coronation.[2] The diamond is held in the Royal Palace as part of Thailand's crown jewels.


In 1996, Prime Minister Banharn Silpa-archa and the Thai people celebrated the king with a multi-day celebration.



The symbol of the golden jubilee


The symbol of the golden jubilee of King Bhumibol Adulyadej was designed by Wiyada Charoensuk, winner of a design contest.


There are three elements to the design:



  • The king's throne (in center) is a sign of the Jakkree dynasty (the dynasty of King Bhumibhol)

  • White tiered umbrellas of kingship, representing the constitution of Thailand

  • Two elephants, representing the Thai people


The Fine Arts Department wanted this design to:



  • Celebrate the king

  • Help Thai people remember Thailand's traditions

  • Show that Thais are proud to be subjects of the king

  • Show that Thais have a long history as a nation



United Kingdom and the other Commonwealth realms


In the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms, a golden jubilee celebration is held in the 50th year of a monarch's reign. The golden jubilee of George III of the United Kingdom was celebrated on 25 October 1809, prior to the actual 50th anniversary in 1810.

In 1887 the United Kingdom and the British Empire celebrated Queen Victoria's golden jubilee. Victoria marked 20 June 1887—the fiftieth anniversary of her accession—with a banquet, to which fifty European kings and princes were invited.

This assassination attempt, when it was discovered, became known as the Jubilee Plot. At the time, Victoria was an extremely popular monarch.

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
