Only a when crisis happens, then we realised what are critical in our survival. Only when the reservoirs go dried and we start to panic. When COVD-19 hits the world, shortage of medical equipments become appearance. Should be keep large stock of mask during time or may be a certain portion of the needs? Or may be a small manufacturing facilities that can be upscale when needed.
Heard somewhere that SG need to be knowledge in Nuclear Technology, why? Not because SG is building a Nuclear plant, but our Neighbour might build Nuclear Plant. SG need to understand what Nuclear technology is about and able to react when time calls for it.
Be prepare and have required knowledge for any unforseeable crisis or needs.
