Tokyo Electric Power Co report and alter safety figures to pass nuclear power inspections. corrupt Japanese officials work in cahoots with TEPCO executives to cover up safety issues. TEPCO has a history of scandals associated with its nuclear power operations for decades. TEPCO has that much red tape to get away with this.

Thanks bro. Appreciated.

You know after looking at pictures of how people react after a disater I come to realize how good or bad the victims react shows how much the govt cares for them and how much they know that the govt will not abandon them. Which brings me to wonder how would sinkies and the sinkie govt react if a day were to come where a calamity were to hit SG.
