Reflection on Japanese earthquake&tsunami

Singaporeans can learn from this recent Japanese earthquake and tsunami disaster to always be prepared for a crisis, be it economically, or civilly. Because Singapore is rather safe, from earthquakes and tsunamis since it is near the equator, but that does not mean that we can let our guard down and not be prepared for after quakes and huge tidal waves, terrorism might also happen, so no natural disasters will not mean no artificial "disasters". Singaporeans can also learn to be more volunteering and help out people in need by using money or using force, which mean going to Japan to try to give a helping hand. We as a nation will not have what it takes to handle a similar crisis, because we have never experience a similar crisis, nor have we have a little bit of experience. Our land is also too small, so we do not have other states to help out in the crisis and our neighbouring countries might also be reluctant to help, in terms of manpower. But we might be prepared for terrorist because we have encountered terrorism before and know what to do when we encounter events like this, we have patrol guards around and the expert in bomb defussal squad, which will be able to keep us safe, from a terrorist attack found earlier than when the terrorist strikes.
