I do tend to pay attention to what is happening in other parts of the world, as it is of vital importance to understand what is happening around us as they may have some impact on Singapore. Also, when a country is facing a major crisis, our country could lend out a helping hand if possible. It could also raise our awareness to current affairs, and we could also reflect on it after know about it, making us be critical thinkers. We would also not lose out to the society if we keep abreast of whatever things are happening in the world. The world is steadily progressing forward, and as it changes; human should change positively as well.
For example, look at the crisis in Japan. We lent Japan a helping hand as it struggled to overcome this major crisis. In addition, we know now that the sea near the disaster area is contaminated, hence the AVA would definitely take note of the seafood being imported to Japan and give them a thorough check; therefore this shows that the crisis is indeed having an impact not only to Singapore, bu to the world as a whole. One should not be ignorant to whatever is happening around the world as whatever happening around the world, be it turmoil or conflict or crisis, would definitely in turn affect the welfare of Singapore. The Japan crisis, for instance, would definitely cause food prices to rise, making it harder for people with a meagre income gain. Therefore, it is definitely important to take note of any specific major events happening around the world.
