SINGAPORE: The
government said that Singapore is not directly impacted by the change in
emergency rating by Japan's Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency
(NISA).
The agency raised its provisional rating of the situation
at the Fukushima Nuclear Plant from 5 on the International Nuclear and
Radiological Event Scale (INES) to 7 on Wednesday morning.
The
Singapore government said it will continue with its surveillance and
measures to safeguard the public against radioactive contamination. And
it will continue to stand ready to step up measures if necessary.
Singapore is located more than 5,000 kilometres away from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
The
statement added that even in the unlikely event that any radioactive
plume reaches Singapore, the impact is expected to be inconsequential as
the concentration of radioactive substances would be diluted to
insignificant levels over the long distance.
According to the
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the Japan authorities'
decision to raise the INES rating is a re-evaluation of an earlier
assessment of the accident.
This re-evaluation resulted from an
estimate of the total amount of radioactivity released to the
environment from the Fukushima Nuclear Plant.
The re-evaluation
of the INES rating does not indicate that the situation has worsened. In
fact, radiation levels in various prefectures, as reported by the
Japanese authorities and the IAEA, did not show any significant changes
over the past few days.

I think the Singapore (PAP) gov is stupid to give such false assurances, because sea water flows everywhere in the Pacific Ocean, it's not restricted to any locality.

Well, but logically if we kenna, taiwan would have died off first...
China would most likely survive since their body has became hardened after eating fake food, contaminated milk and other junks

Sea water contaminated means lots of seafood affected.
Some of the radioactive elements have halflives of over 100 years.

I'm waiting for ppl to stomp the first person shooting web out of hands or climbing UOB building glasses without any tools

Hi, I was wondering if I was to buy some gifts online and imported from Japan around this period is the gift going to be radioactive. I just curios as the gifts were meant for small kids since they like those cute toys from Japan so much. Will the authorities in Singapore check before they enter Singapore.
Thank You :)
