Civil defence competition brings regional experts to Singapore
SINGAPORE: The 15th Civil Defence Skills Competition saw regional
professionals in the emergency services coming together in Singapore to
compete.
The competition on Friday pushed the participants to test their physical and mental skills.
Singapore said the competition also helped to foster new friendships, and enabled the sharing of best practices.
This is particularly helpful during regionally coordinated rescue
missions such as during the cyclone Nargis disaster in Myanmar and the
Sichuan earthquake in China last year.
