bjbjU We have invited Doctor Deng and Nurse Felicia, both the staffs of Alexandra hospital
to share some information with us. So doctor Deng and Nurse Felicia, can you guys tell
us some historical background of the hospital? Well Alexandra Military Hospital was renamed
Alexandra Hospital when it got handed over to the Singapore government on 15 September
1971 from the British. On 14 February 1942, the Japanese Imperial Forces retreated through
Alexandra Hospital. The British never expected the Japanese to rush into the wards and bayonet
a total of 250 patients and staff members. That s right. On 15 September, when General
Yamashita got news about his troops abusive actions, he ever went around to apologise
to the remaining patients. Also, Alexandra Hospital is the first hospital in South East
Asia to perform limb-re-attachment. S: Hmm, that s some interesting news. So Doctor Deng
and Nurse Felicia, tell us, what do you think this site helps remind the future generation
about? As for me, I think Alexandra hospital helps educate the future generation times
are moving on, and many things have changed since the last century. However, Alexandra
Hospital will not change. Its history will exist forever and the future generation will
never forget. Nice points out up. I really hope the future generation will not forget
their forefathers, their history. Last question, what lessons can we learn from the events
that happened here? Well, we learn that we should defend out country ourselves and we
should never depend on others for help. I think we should never underestimate others,
take the WW2 event for instance, like what Dr Deng had mentioned, the British never expected
the Japanese to kill the patients in Alexandra hospital, therefore we should not take others
lightly. Also we should not rely on others in times of crisis. Aright, this shall mark
the end of our interview. Thank you doctor Deng and Nurse Felicia for sharing your views
and experiences with us. phTTT Shera Tan Normal Shera Tan Microsoft Word 9.0 Home1 Title Microsoft
