Paradox and Inspiration 114: Diseases in Developed Country

The mention of the city-state of Singapore conjures up images of modernity, remarkable cleanliness, admirable disease-free environment, safe and healthy living.

Not sure about you, but I believe many foreigners find it hard to reconcile the existence of life-threatening diseases and viruses such as mosquito-borne dengue and Chikungunya diseases, hand foot mouth, bird flu, SARS with a modern setting like Singapore.

Life is full of ironies, isn’t it?
