In March, Mr Keshvani, his wife and two children were among the 218 Singaporeans and their dependents who arrived at Changi Airport Terminal 2 on Singapore’s first military evacuation flight from Saudi Arabia.
On the flight home, the family came together to write the note. Upon landing, Mr Keshvani sent the letter of appreciation to the Singapore Embassy in Qatar, to several of those who had supported his family, and to the Straits Times’ forum page as a gesture of thanks.
“We had just come through an experience that, in many ways, strips things down to what really matters: family, safety and a sense of being looked after,” Mr Keshvani said.
