My thoughts after going through today's evacuation exercise by Annie Lim Hui Meow https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl My thoughts after going through today's evacuation exercise. All of us think Singapore is a very safe place and that the news of gunman, terrorists attack would not reach us. It is good that we are living in a safe country. However, regardless of the high safety standards, we must never take it for granted. Don't you think we should be prepared too? Let's share your thoughts after participating in today's exercise. If you have questions to ask, state them here too. It is important to hear you out.

I think that it is also very important so that when something like this really happens, we will be able to react and act calmly. I am glad that we have the chance topractise or this situation. I think that most of us did not take the activity seriously as most of us were talking and laughing. ]]> 2017-03-31 05:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163878827 Germaine Hong https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163879799 THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS

I think that we should always be prepared for an evacuation exercise. We may not know when we will be under attack but we must always remain vigilant. When something like this happens, everyone must remain calm and act calmly. I also think that the evacuation drill is very important as it will teach us how to react in a situation like that. I think that most of us did not do very well as we ere heard talking to each other and some did not take it seriously. Some of them even took things from other classmates. I am glad that Singapore is a safe place.

I agree that Singapore 🇸🇬 is a safe place but that does not mean that we can take it for granted because at some point of time, we may be under attack. The evacuation drill allows us to learn to remain calm and know how to react to a situation like that. If something really happens, at least we know what to do to remain safe.
I also find that many of us do not take the drill seriously, and we kept talking to each other and thinking that it is just for fun and nothing will happen to us. I think that we really can improve on our next evacuation drill(if we have)and not make so much noise if not when people really attack us, we might not even survive. 😬
But I still hope that no one will attack us 😅.]]> 2017-03-31 06:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163887290 Sherri Tong https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163888343 I think that we should also be prepared regardless of high safety standards in Singapore. I also think that the evacuation exercises are essential for our safety and will be able to prepare us for an emergency. The evacuation exercises are for us to be prepared and aware that anything can happen and we have to be vigilant. Whatever happens, we have to remain calm and know how to react and make sound decisions in a dangerous situation.
I think in today's exercise, we were not taking the activity seriously at all and did not put in much effort to stay quiet and try to think about how we would act in a real situation. I hope that for the next few evacuation or lockdown exercises, everyone would be more cooperative and responsible.]]> 2017-03-31 07:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163888343 GuanHaoCheng https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163911686 I think we should all be prepared that almost all of us are too oblivious to our surroundings. You never know what is going to happen in a rather safe Singapore. Many take this fact for granted as they think that no terrorists will dare to attack Singapore and there will be no wars. Little did they know that terrorists actually TRIED to attack Singapore. Like the bomb found in Yishun MRT and the bomb found in Marina Bay Sands. So everyone, DO NOT let your guard down...]]> 2017-03-31 09:16:12 UTC https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163911686 Kiat https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163913231 I think that we should always be prepared to defend our own country although it is very safe, especially when we are surrounded by Muslim countries with members of ISIS. However, we may not be able to resist the attack of the Nuclear Bomb. Once a Nuclear Bomb touches down on Singapore, everybody is practically dead by then. Actually the most vicious country is North Korea, with the weirdest weapons and most evil-hearted people.
People of Singapore may think that Singapore is now very strong in their defence. However, nobody knows, maybe the ISIS could be planning a huge attack on Singapore.(CHOY! Touch Wood)
Although Normal people like you and me can't do much, but at least we still can help,. For example, when you spot a bomb you can immediately fish out your phone and call the police and inform them about it. If the situation at that time is that the bomb is about to explode, just throw it to the nearest grass patch or empty ground so that the bomb will hurt nobody.
Upon talking about this, I'm however still have confidence in Singapore to be able to be able to handle ISIS attacks.
I think that for today's evacuation exercise we did really bad. Firstly, nobody took this drill serious as they knew that this is fake. Secondly, many people were making noise in the classroom and complaining that they were very hot. Thirdly, everybody was moving around and making noises with their foot-------this will cause all of us to be dead.
I hope that everybody will take the evacuation exercise more seriously in the next one.]]> 2017-03-31 09:24:38 UTC https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163913231 Clara Thio https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163919233 I think we should always be aware of our surroundings and also be alert. We cannot take for granted that Singapore is a safe place and we might be the targets of the terrorists in the point of time
Whenever there is an attack, we must stay calm and keep quiet so the attackerswill not spot us.
Quite a number of us today do not take the drill seriously and keep talking 👄👄 to each other. Anyway. I still hope that no one will attack Singapore]]> 2017-03-31 09:57:41 UTC https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163919233 Ong Zhi Ning onghanlin https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163919621 I think that we should be aware of our surroundings and be alert. We must also defend our country, as we are surrounded by Muslim countries like Malaysia, Indonesia. Yes, I heard the terrorists are heading for Singapore's Yishun MRT Station. But, North Korea may be one of ISIS if they are not careful. They had the most evil-hearted people, most powerful weapons, and a strong dictator. Today, during the evacuation exercise, since I was hiding with fourteen others behind the library cupboard, it was quite noisy. The kids way behind were taking this exercise a laughing matter. I shushed them and lied to them that the police were outside of the classroom, to keep them safe so that Mr Zhou or Mdm Quah will not pull them out. Of course Singapore is safe as the tight security, I had to refrain myself for smacking the backsiders with the CL Exercise book. So please, be safe, be careful, be VIGILANT.]]> 2017-03-31 09:59:59 UTC https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163919621 Arthur Cheng https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163926894 Athough Singapore is a very safe country, there may still be terrorist invading our school. We should stay vigilant and be prepared at all times. We should stay calm and focus on staying alive in cases of emergency. I think we did well as a class today. We should always learn from the best and improve our readiness the next time we do this.

We must also be aware of others threat like nuclear weapon(cause if any nuclear bomb hit Singapore,we will all die.Singapore is very small)although it is very unlikely it will happen.
If any body see a bomb,you can call the police and tell everybody within 100 meters from the bomb to run away from it as fast as possible not like the guy in the SG secure advertisement that go help the police catch the terrorist and not tell the people to run away from the bomb.
We must also be careful of some country like DPRK because they has nuclear weapon and a wicked dictator name Kim Jong Un that rumour to has plan the assassination of his brother,Kim Jong Nam and also some crimes on humans rights.
For today exercise,we did badly, many people were making noise in the classroom and complaining that they were very hot. Thirdly, everybody was moving around and making noises with their foot and some people were knocking on the door as a joke.

i think the lockdown was not very well done. Everyone was (hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....CHAOTIC?).
it could have went better if QIU YI did not SPILL WATER ON US!!!!!!!!!!!! \ . |

MY AND ARTHUR'S AND JIN YANG AND A FEW OTHERS GOT SPLASHED WITH WATER!
(who ever got splashed pls comment)
Anyway, we need to be extra- extra- extra- extra vigilant and aware of our surroundings and we cannot always depend on our army to defend us. a lot of people take EVERYTHING FOR GRANTED!!!!!!
To quote Hao cheng, ''Many take this fact for granted as they think that no terrorists will dare to attack Singapore and there will be no wars. Little did they know that terrorists actually TRIED to attack Singapore. Like the bomb found in Yishun MRT and the bomb found in Marina Bay Sands. So everyone, DO NOT let your guard down.'''
And also to quote Lee Kuan Yew,
about that you cannot always rely on others,
'' “If I were not the Prime Minister, he [Lee Hsien Loong] could have become Prime Minister several years earlier. It is against my interest to allow any family member, who’s incapable, to be holding an important job because that would be a disaster for Singapore and my legacy. That cannot be allowed. ''
So, you cannot rely on others,(army, goverment, etc:), because you never know who is incapable so you need to rely on yourself and yourself only (Feel free to oject through commenting)
Thank You for listening.

We should have taken the drill more seriously as we never know what might happen. Even if Singapore is a safe country, we should be prepared for any emergency. I think that if there were real terrorists outside, they would definately have heard us talking as we were quite noisy.

During today's evacuation exercise,we could have done better as I could hear pupils talking to one another, and we were rather loud.I hope that we can take this exercise seriously.I also hope that terrorists will not attack Singapore.]]> 2017-03-31 12:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163949691 Poon Chen Jun https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163964119 We should not take safety in Singapore for granted, as terrorists attack would happened at any time, any day without knowing , so we must be aware of our surroundings and be alert.
During the drill today, the people which lean against the wall which is next to the corridor was a little noisy , but the odd thing was that when one side is quite, the other side would not be quite. ]]> 2017-03-31 13:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163964119 Shanice https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163983566 We should always be aware for our surroundings and also alert. Anything can happen in Singapore at any time, without knowing. If this type of things happen in our school, we would how to react and what we would do. We could do better by not whispering if we want to talk to our friends instead of talking loudly especially the classmates hiding behind the cupboard. When the teacher knocked on the door, people were screaming so loudly! We REALLY could do better on this! I am really glad that Singapore is a safe place for us to live. I hope that there will be no terrorists attacking us!]]> 2017-03-31 14:32:51 UTC https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/163983566 Keefe Koh https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/164080274 I feel that we should not take Singapore’s safety for granted as there could be any terrorist attack happening in Singapore.
When a terrorist attack happens, we must stay calm and keep quiet or the terrorist will spot us.
For the evacuation exercise, I think that we should keep quiet but there were students talking and laughing about when the exercise happened. I hope that nobody will attack Singapore.]]> 2017-04-01 01:46:59 UTC https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/164080274 Ethan Ho ho_kang_qi_ethan_2013 https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/164082304 Singapore is a safe place, but we must not take it for granted. We must ALWAYS stay alert. If there was a real attack, we must keep calm and be quiet. The evacuation exercise wasn't very good as there were a lot of people whispering. If this was real, the terrorist might find us and we'll be dead meat. There were a lot of laughing and complains of the sweltering heat. I think we'll do better next time(I hope).
Please guys, next time stop talking! ]]> 2017-04-01 03:12:26 UTC https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/164082304 Alena https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/164082312
Although Singapore is a safe country, we should always be preapred in case of terrorist attacks. i don't think we did very well for the drill because some people who were leaning against the wall were quiet,while the other few were whispering and the people behind the cupboard where not quiet at all. ]]> 2017-04-01 03:13:01 UTC https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/164082312 Chloe Ang chloeang1 https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/164083326 We should always be aware of our surroundings and be alert. Singapore is a safe place but we cannot take that for granted. Although hiding in the classroom was extremely uncomfortable, it is important that the school keeps us prepared for when a real attack happens. ( But hopefully none would occur) It was really noisy with whispers and shushing but it was dead silent whenever there was footsteps or voices heard along the corridor. I cannot say that I was quiet, as sometimes i had to cough. But I also contributed in the talking and laughing a little. I aim to not talk next time. But the doors and windows are not bulletproof, and modern day terrorists will have guns. In a real attack, how do we protect ourselves from the bullets? We also forgot to close the windows so the terrorists can stick their hand through the window. And if we smack their hand, well............
I hope that Singapore will stay safe in the coming years ]]> 2017-04-01 04:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/164083326 Davian Koh https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/164091837 I think it is important to be vigilant at all times and be prepared for anything that may happen in Singapore.

We need to be alert, be vigilant and stay untied always . I absolutely agree that Singapore is safe and we should never take it for granted. We should never have the thinking that "Nothing will happen to Singapore" as we will never know/predict what will happen. After the evacuation drill, I learnt a very important lesson: Take any evacuation exercise seriously, otherwise our life will be at risk when real emergency occurs. ]]> 2017-04-01 10:07:19 UTC https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/164095407 Caden Teo CadenTeo https://padlet.com/annieylhm/qif2s52rkvrl/wish/164100488 After participating in the evacuation exercise, I agree that we need to be prepared. As a student, I feel very lucky to be born in such a safe country. However, even though Singapore is known for its high safety standards, we cannot take risks. Gunmans and terrorists are potential risks. Besides, Singapore is such a small country that it could be a piece of cake for them to take down our country, which is why I strongly believe that we all need to be prepared. For instance, if we see any suspicious behaviour, we should call the police. We must be vigilant and if real emergencies do happen, I think we should work together to solve it and help others who are in trouble. I was thankful that the evacuation drill was only a practice. We all were not patient and resilient. Some people were complaining about it being hot while others say that it was squeezy. Being able to find a hiding spot is considered to be very lucky already. It wasn't very quiet. We should all do our part to ensure the safety of Singapore.

We also cannot trust everybody as a terrorist can always be your friend, your family, your relatives, a friend you meet online, or even a innocent-looking citizen on the streets.If schools in Singapore or even schools in other countries organise more of these safety drills, students will know what to do when a terrorist attack happens in the worse case scenario.

Even though Singapore is a safe country, we should not take risks as there was already some terrorists attacks happening in Singapore.
