He credits his eight-year stint as a career officer in the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) for his strong foundation in contingency planning and emergency preparedness. \u201cI spent my time in the Search and Rescue Battalion (now Special Rescue Unit) and was also seconded to the Ministry of Home Affairs as a staff officer. These postings were instrumental in helping me to strategise for contingencies.\u201d<\/p><p>Despite the constantly-evolving pandemic situation, thinking outside the box was crucial to instilling a sense of normalcy at THK Nursing Home. \u201cWe had to be very sensitive to the needs of our residents at all times. We not only have to take care of their physical and health requirements, but also their emotional needs,\u201d says LTC (NS) Lee. Many of the residents had wanted to see their families, but were unable to do so due to the prevailing Covid-19 measures. To get around this problem, LTC (NS) Lee and his team became creative. \u201cWe shared roving iPads that allowed the residents to stay digitally connected with their families and loved ones, while minimising their risk from COVID-19,\u201d he recounts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0cf3a1a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0cf3a1a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>FACING OMICRON<\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c6dbbdd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c6dbbdd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1025\" height=\"663\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/nsman2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-26963\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/nsman2.jpg 1025w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/nsman2-300x194.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hometeamns.sg\/frontline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/nsman2-768x497.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1025px) 100vw, 1025px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\"><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2c04f35 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2c04f35\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The stringent precautions had helped THK Nursing Home to remain safe from the virus, until the surge of the Omicron variant in late 2021. \u201cAt that time, there was great unease among our staff, as they were concerned about our residents\u2019 welfare,\u201d LTC (NS) Lee explains as he recounted the detection of the first Covid-19 case at THK Nursing Home in October 2021. \u201cAt that time, the safety measures required nursing homes to deliver Covid-19 test samples to the laboratory by themselves.\u201d<\/p><p>To allay the concerns of his staff, LTC (NS) Lee volunteered to ferry the samples in his own car. \u201cOf course, I was nervous about how it might affect my family, including my parents,\u201d he shares. \u201cBut I had to lead the team by example.\u201d In addition, \u00a0LTC (NS) Lee also ensured strict adherence to the infection control measures, such as the donning of personal protective equipment (PPE) and thoroughly disinfecting his car after the journey. He adds, \u201cIn situations like this, your team looks to you for guidance and above all, leadership.\u201d<\/p><p>In recognition of his efforts to combat the pandemic, LTC (NS) Lee was awarded the Public Service Medal (COVID-19) 2022. He will also be named the Home Team NSman of the Year at the SCDF Appreciation Dinner in April 2023, to commend his commitment to serving the nation. To LTC (NS) Lee, leadership requires a \u201cpeople first\u201d philosophy when working with his colleagues. \u201cOne important thing that SCDF taught me is this \u2014 if you build strong \u00a0bonds with your team, you will be able to overcome any challenge together.\u201d<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c7b164b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"c7b164b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<strong>Heroes among us <\/strong>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40f14e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"40f14e1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Introduced in 2007, the Home Team NSman of the Year Award accords greater recognition to Home Team NSmen for their contributions and achievements towards NS.
