Chronicles of Old Singapore | A Nurse & Technician from Trafalgar School, Tanjong Pagar Part 2
Description
Welcome to Chronicles of Old Singapore. Chinniah Saraswathy & P. Rajamogan talk about being in two professions that deserve more recognition in Singapore: a nurse and a technician. Having worked in these jobs for over 40 years, they recount the rewards and risks: saving patients in the ICU and contributing to the growth of the petrochemical industry, but also braving hazards, shift work, diseases, and pandemics.
