Avoiding Drowning Accidents

logo

There was a case reported in Phuket last September where a Singaporean tourist nearly drowned. He was drunk but continued swimming anyway. He also ignored the warning flags by heading to the sea. Fortunately the tourist was saved but he had to be taken to the hospital because he drunk plenty of sea water. Before this incident, there are two Singaporean tourists who nearly died because of ignoring the warning flags.

This should give us lessons but it does not mean that we stop swimming. Swimming is fun but you should constantly think of your safety to avoid any accidents. It is okay if you are in a pool but what if you are heading to the beach? The beach is more dangerous than the pool. So, to come home alive, here are some tips to avoid drowning accidents:

avoid-drowning

1.   Do not drink alcohol. People drink when they are at the beach but they should not make it a habit. When you are drunk, you tend to “challenge” yourself, others or the nature itself. To be safe, sober up before swimming.

2.   Heed warning flags. Ignorance of warning flags will not save you. You should take time and ask the staff about warning flags so you will know what to do.

3.   Watch the children closely. If you have children around, you should watch them closely. Do not take your eyes off them even if you know they can swim or there is a lifeguard out there.

4.   Vest and floatation devices. If you do not know how to swim but you still want to enjoy the water, you should bring vest or any floatation device. It will give you a sense of security.

5.   Check the weather. Whenever you go out for a swim, it is imperative that you check the weather first. If the weather is not good, just postpone your swimming for your own safety. Do not underestimate the weather condition.

Particularly for users that are not Internet-savvy, this primary method of providing IT services can be effective. This is also the safest method of providing IT services for services that require the exchange of sensitive information such as health or financial data.

Email

Most companies begin with providing Singapore IT services through email. What these companies do is that they simply inform their users about their email address in which they can send their messages of various concerns. Their team of experts read the messages and address the concerns as soon as they can. The main advantage of Singapore email support is the fact that almost everybody uses email.

Singapore’s Immigration Situation

logo

Singapore is a small nation with diverse culture. The history of Singapore is closely connected with migration. Most of the city’s population growth is due to immigration which started from the British colonization up to the settlement of large numbers of people from China, India and the Malay Archipelago seeking for greener pastures. It was during the Japanese occupation and the first few years of their independence that Singapore imposed strict laws about immigration and citizenship.

Singapore-Immigration

When Singapore experienced industrialization, the issue of migration was brought to the attention of the government. The government is now lenient about immigration. This paved way to large wave of immigration in Singapore up to this date. To give you an idea of the immigration situation in Singapore, you should first know about the two categories of immigrants depending on the permanency of stay. Here’s an idea:

  • Citizens – Citizens mean they are born in Singapore. The category also includes people who are naturalized.
  • Residents – Residents refer to Permanent Residents and Non Residents. Permanent Residents are given the right to permanently reside in Singapore and are permitted own a government housing or join military service. Permanent Residents are entitled to other rights but not the right to vote. Non Residents are comprised of students and other workers.

There is an increase of permanent residents and international students in Singapore for the past few years. Immigration occurs because of opportunities. For example, Singaporeans are hesitant to take low-skilled jobs so foreign workers often fill the positions. Singapore is facing a challenge because of the influx of immigrants. The government is doing its best to maintain and harmonize within.
