Wow: 'I fought back tears when I heard father, who is to retire in half a year, volunteered to go,' the message read. 'He said 'The future of nuclear power generation depends on how we'll cope with this. I'll go with a sense of mission'... I've never been more proud of him.'
TBH, I was hoping for a stronger statement discrediting the recent chain SMSes telling people to not expose themselves to rain or swab iodine on their necks
haha. "Two days ago, I received a frantic call from my wife who is on holiday overseas, saying that her handbag containing her mobile phone had been stolen. Immediately, I called M1 to ask for her phone line to be suspended. I was asked to provide my wife's name, phone number, address, postal code, IC number - to all of which I gave the correct reply. Then, I was asked her date of birth. When I said I could not really remember, I was told my desperate request could not be acceded to. Weren't the correct replies I gave earlier sufficient for them to act? As the last straw, I was told to call my wife to ask for her birth date. How could I, when her phone had been stolen! I hung up the phone and am now waiting for the phone bill to come."
