Japan suffered a 9.0 magnitude on 11 March, Friday. I am sorry about what happened to Japan and at the same time, I am impressed by how they reacted to the earthquakes and tsunami. Their well-prepared behaviour is what Singaporeans should learn. Unlike Japan, Singapore is free from natural disasters such as earthquakes. Therefore, I believe that most Singaporeans will have no idea how to react IF an earthquake happens.
In a similar crisis, I doubt that we, as a nation, is possible to handle it. Singapore, without any experiences of natural disasters, would not have the knowledge to tackle a similar crisis. This is the same concept of people learning how to ride a bicycle, by falling and not by people holding to us when we start to ride.
Therefore, in conclusion, I do not think that we have what it takes to be able to deal with a similar crisis.
