Relate this also to the ugly side that has been rearing its head among Singaporeans...think hoarding of masks, sanitisers....selling them at high price.....xenophobia....landlords evicting tenants from China...
"The strength of a people is seldom tested during good times, but will be severely challenged when we face a crisis," [Think about the analogy of tea contained in tea bags. You will only know how strong the tea is when you dip the tea bag in 'hot water']
"How well we stand together, support each other and react to a situation define us as a people."
panic-buying, spreading of misinformation and victim blaming of any community are not the right responses to the outbreak
"These [kind] deeds give me hope that there is still care, compassion and cohesion in our midst, and are good reminders of how we as Singaporeans have a choice in the kind of society we desire,"
the ST Singaporean of the Year "is not just about the winning"...."They cause us to pause and ponder why they do what they do, and perhaps whether we too might do the same, each in our own way, in whatever way we can."
