The
Petition has now officially ended. We would like to thank everyone who wrote in
to share their views and to support this petition and everyone that visited
this website and signed in the guest book. It was truly heartening to see so
many Singaporeans show their support for these pilots. We were absolutely
overwhelmed in the initial days after the article came out in Straits Times
by the sheer amount of emails that began to pour in. Honestly, we never
expected to receive such an enthusiastic response. We got emails from people
from every walk of life. Ranging from doctors and lawyers to students and
retirees. We heard from our neighbors in Malaysia to someone all the way in
Luxembourg. Even Singaporeans now living abroad and overseas students wrote
in to express their concern over this situation. We are positive that there
are many like-minded individuals out there who simply did not have to
opportunity to participate. It was most touching to receive emails from
family members and friends of the pilots. Our hearts continue to go out to
the families of these men. Besides them, we also got numerous mails from
pilots and ex pilots all over the world as well as old and present cabin
crew. It was wonderful to see individuals in the same industry show their
support for their counterparts. After sifting through all these emails, one
common thing existed throughout was to BRING
THE PILOTS HOME! This truly was
the heart cry of many and we are sure of their families too. Here, we would like to express our
appreciation to all who have lent a hand in one way or another or volunteered
to help throughout this consolidation. We thank you for your kind thoughts.
It was an arduous process but every second spent was well worth it! One of
our friends, part of the team, couldn't bear to tear himself away when he was
in Hong Kong for a holiday, that he periodically went to internet cafes to
check through emails and even sent us SMS messages for updates J . Finally, another prevalent thought of those that wrote in was that they wished this tragic accident had never happened. But now that it did, how could we rectify this and move on. Many expressed their sympathies to the families of the victims, those that were lost on SQ006 and we, as the petition team, would again like to express our deepest condolences to the families and friends of the victims. To Captain
Foong, First Officers Ng Kheng Leng and Latiff Cyrano, we pray that you are
well! Keep your spirits up and we do hope to see you soon, back home with us. With Thanks & Warmest Regards, The Petition Team |
