Earlier today, the media reported that there is an update to the current version of the National Anthem. The Singapore Flag and National anthem are symbols that represent the nation, any change to it should be considered major.

Why was it not informed earlier? We don’t know
Other countries do not change the flag or national anthem just like that. Unless the people are first asked and agree with it.
An example, a referendum took place in New Zealand where voters are asked if they wanted a new flag design or vote to use the existing flag. The vote lasted for 3 weeks before the decision was made to keep the current flag.
