Today lets not talk about food and seriously pray for Japan. The victims are stranger to most of us, but we are brothers and sister in the eye of God.
Today i received another email from my best friend, BoonSiong from Malaysia. He asked about actions taken by Singaporean government following the nuclear power plant explosion in Japan. He is standing by to analyse food sample. That's serious right? It means of food chain is potentially affected by nuclear radiation. Just a few days before this, BoonSiong wrote and talked about his friend in Japan whom are now only eat instant noodle and has no power or water supply.
At that very instant, i was thinking that at least his friend survived the earth quake and tsunami. yesterday night i watched an extensive report on Japanese earth quake and tsunami and nuclear plant disaster on TVBS Asia. It was so heat breaking to hear about the shortage of food and medication. That's really worse than we could ever imagine. How can this be happening in Japan, a developed country? I cannot understand, but neither do i want to comment. It is always easier to comment when we are standing outside and watching. But from that i also do salute the calmness and discipline of the victim. Can we still queue up for food and drinks? or will we rush and fight? The way the victims helped and supported each other really show unity in Japanese society. That's something the world need to learn.
Back to food, the next time we have our meal, please look at every single grain of rice. Do not waste food. There are people in hunger now. There are also farmers out there working so hard to provide food for all of us, and earn a very small income. Food wastage prevention is not a "project" during crisis time, it is a life long culture that we should inculcate.
Personally, i also do not know why, last night i started to keep Japan in my night prayer. May God bless Japan. Amen! :P
