Don't take things for granted

When certain things happened here some people said ‘how can this happened in Singapore?’ Why not, I say?

Unexpected maybe but why cannot happen here? God also cannot guarantee you this. Whether food-poisoning or other mishaps, it just takes someone’s moment of carelessness, inattentiveness or laziness and it could happen.

Even if every stall in a hawkers' centre has an A grade and the centre is cleaned everyday you still cannot 100% guarantee no food-poisoning. Cleanliness is just one thing, personal hygiene and attitude are more important. If just one hawker is too lazy to wash his hands after going to the toilet, you could get food-poisoning already.

I think many Singaporeans are taking things for granted. They have been living in a well-governed Country all along and have not gone through sufferings and pains.

I was thinking of more terrible things that could happen, like a massive blackout, or a bomb exploding
.

Cannot happened in Singapore??? I would say probability is very low but not impossible.
