On Sunday (9 Feb), the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) took to Facebook to share that a few Good Samaritans have been leaving tokens of appreciation in the form of cartons of Milo at fire stations and fire posts islandwide.

The SCDF paramedics and staff expressed their heartfelt gratitude to the “kind-hearted ninjas” for such a heartwarming gesture amid this worrying period involving the novel coronavirus spread in Singapore – which has seen a total of 43 infected cases in Singapore so far.

What’s guaranteed to light up a smile – as it did to the SCDF personnel – is the uplifting note that was written and attached on each carton of Milo, telling the front-line heroes to “hang in there and stay safe”.

Additionally, the SCDF offered up its thoughts to all healthcare and service staff, including its own SCDF career officers and NSmen, for selflessly and ceaselessly dedicating their lives to protect the community in this time of distress.

In the Facebook post, the SCDF also encouraged netizens tag a front-liner that they know and continue the spread of motivational vibes.

总理李显龙发文纪念我国首届民选政府,称经历“动荡历程”

1959年6月5日,人民行动党以51席位中获得43席位的压倒性胜利,宣誓就职,成立自治邦政府。李显龙总理于昨日(6日),在脸书上发表贴文纪念历史性的一刻。 李显龙文中回忆当时人民行动党正经历一场“动荡的历程”。身为人民行动党的领导者,已故建国总理李光耀正与共产党与其支持者们 “生死大战”,同时经历与马来西亚的两年“硬仗”,冒着被缉捕或更糟糕的危险,只为了能让新加坡人民的多元社会能够保留。 “1959年6月5日的内阁成员成立是造就了1965年8月9日以及记下来54年的日子。我们对于建立这些贡献的人表示深切的感谢。如果当时建国一代的人民不是与人民行动党站在同一条线上,团结起来,东姑阿都拉曼(Tunku Abdul Rahman)也不会同意让新加坡离开马来西亚,成为具有独立主权的国家。”李显龙写道。 当时的内阁人员包括已故总理李光耀、已故副总理杜进才、前国家发展部长王永元、已故前财政部长吴庆瑞、已故前内政部长王邦文、已故前卫生部长阿末依布拉欣、已故前教育部长杨玉麟、已故前外交部长拉惹勒南(时任文化部长)、以及已故律政兼劳工部长贝恩。 李显龙在文中也上载了现任内阁成员的合照,合照内包括文化、社区及青年部长傅海燕、通讯及新闻部长易华仁、外交部兼国防部高级政务部长孟理齐、教育部长王育康等人。 最后,李显龙呼吁“我告诉我的同事,这场仗将继续。我们仍要为创造更好的新加坡继续努力,我们誓言将新加坡成为更团结,无论种族、语言、宗教都能更和平相处。 根据《8视界》报道,李光耀上任前,要求释放林清祥、方水双等八名因被指煽动暴动而在1956年入狱的政治拘留者。 南洋理工大学人文学院助理教授魏文擎说:“人民行动党在参加1959年大选前,曾承诺会争取释放这些政治拘留者。因此在赢得大选后,他们必须履行这项承诺,并在6月2日才获得新加坡总督首肯。” 历史学家也指出,我国从殖民统治时期到实现独立的权力过渡相当平稳、和平,使我国在1960年代推进经济发展及现代化时能够飞速增长。
