Many individuals contributed by helping to implement many policies and help people in their time of need. The doctor helped many people and risked death to provide care for others. He cut short his vaccation to provide for the afflicted citizens. His selflessness and eagerness to sacrifice oneself to carry out his job is extremely admirable and brave. Him and many other healthcare workers all helped contain the situation, and of them perished from contamination with the patients.

We can learn from his bravery, integrity and dedication. He did not falter in the face of certain death and instead charged into it to help out those who needed it the most. We can learn alot from his selflessness.

This crisis served as a testament to how bonded Singapore is. It helped the country realize that disaster could strike at any second and we must always be prepared, just like the doctor, to help Singapore.

A recent crisis could be the zika virus that is currently spreading though the country.

Q1: Mr Heng Yeow Pheow, a foreman of Koi construction was supervising cenenting work when he heard continuous buckling sound. He immediately ordered his workers to evacuate the area but stayed behind to ensure all workers evacuate safely first.
Q2: We can learn that we should do something as a service to others like Mr Heng who stayed behind to make sure that his workers have left. This would give a good image of yourself towards others.
