A letter to the Straits Times

I think that what Singaporeans could learn from the recent Japanese earthquake is to be vigilant at all times, you would never know what could happen next. I also learned that we should stay together in a time of a crisis like this, we should just toss our differences aside and give out a helping hand to those in need. I think that we as a nation do possess what it takes to overcome a crisis like this. Everyday, when we are reciting the national pledge, it says, " We, the citizens of Singapore, pledge ourselves as one united people." This everyday routine could help us Singaporeans to unite as one in a time of crisis and overcome it together.
