YOUR LETTERS
Last Sunday's article, '1,200 buildings in Bangkok 'at risk'', made me wonder how safe Singapore's high-rise buildings are, especially in the light of recent earthquakes in Japan, New Zealand and Myanmar.
I am curious to know if the Government has looked into and evaluated the robustness of the structures of the many high-rise buildings here.
Are these quake-proof?
Singapore has experienced light tremors arising from quakes in Indonesia in the past, and although it has no record of natural disasters, nothing is certain now.
If a natural disaster were to occur unexpectedly, will Singapore be ready? I worry that we may be taking our safety for granted.

Is she gone? Good. One less stupid person in Singapore.
But the Forum Page Editor is still making money being stupid.]
