NAS 'Zoom Live' Experience
I would like to thank the National Archives of Singapore for giving me the opportunity to share my first personal experience and memories via 'Zoom'.
This is the first time I am using 'Zoom' in the YouTube here .
Due to the unforeseen circumstances, I was unable to present the talk in person last year.
The event was cancelled because Coronavirus disease was first reported from Wuhan, China on 31 December, 2019 and it spread to every country in the world.
In Singapore, the government took immediate action to cancel events for group gathering, everyone to wear medical masks in public and preventive measures include social distancing for the safety and avoid spreading Covid19 virus.
