Hi all,
I believe someone has posted with regards to our Government's
level of preparedness when it comes to crisis situations.
First, we had to deal with the haze - a yearly occurence that
should already have protocols set in case the worst happens, which
it did this year. Instead, all we had was a pretty inept handling
of the situation, with agencies waiting for direction, instead of
being pro-active and having a set of pre-established protocols that
could have just been executed.
Then, we had all the train breakdowns, transport woes, and even
a batch of our NSFs getting poisoned in Pulau Tekong
alone!
It seems to me that our highly paid Governemnt, does not have
the foresight to plan ahead, although they always claim that they
do. I shudder to think what would happen if something major
actually struck our country.
I strongly feel that our Government is not up to scratch on its
readiness to deal with crisis, with all departmnets not wiling to
stand up and be counted. Instead, they are just content to kick the
issue around until it gets blown over.
