Three people were missing and more than 50,000 evacuated from a city on Saturday after flooding along the Yalu river, which forms the border with North Korea, officials and state media said. this is what is happening in the Yalu River, China. About 230 homes have collapsed in the city of Dandong and some transport, power and communication links have been cut off but no casualties have been reported.
this is what is happening in Singapore: loss of valuables, no loss of homes, and the flood cleared in no time flat. but, 'kiasu' Singaporeans, whether living in the affected areas or not, are pressing over-demanding solutions from the government. maybe Singapore has become complacent, just because we have not had flash floods in decades, people make the biggest fuss out of the matter that China is facing, with at least 10 times the devastating effects compared to that of Singapore.
Singapore is just acting like a baby. and China is a mature man. China has matured through experiences like hurricanes and floods. yet Singapore is like a perfectly pampered child, making the biggest hoo-Ha over the smallest scratch.
maybe a natural disaster is what Singapore needs most at his point of time. people do not seem to treasure our lucky geographical on the globe. they have so much, yet they want so much more, China has always been able to stand back up after disasters, after being shaken emotionally and economically, why can't we?
