I feel that Singaporeans can learn a great deal from the recent Japanese earthquakes and tsunami incidents. During the earthquake, I read that the Japanese did not freak out, rather, they orderly crawled under the table and waited till the earthquake was over. I feel that we can learn from this. Even though Singapore does not have any natural disasters, it would be great with we can learn to always be calm and cool when any accident happens. We can also learn to be vigilant and on the look-out at all times. For example, we should be always be on the alert in case of a terrorist attack.
I feel that Singaporeans have the potential to handle a similar situation if one arises. We should just be calm and and do what is necessary. Only by being calm can we think sensibly and handle the situation. Most of the time, we would be too freaked out to think straight and end up not doing something sensible like crawling under the table. The Japanese were calm and cool during the earthquake and I think that Singaporeans could do that too.
