Associate Professor Bina Rai receives the SCDF Strategic Partner Award and Star Customer Award

Associate Professor Bina Rai was awarded the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) Strategic Partner Award (NUS) and Star Customer Award for her work with the Life Saving Force during the SCDF Parade 2024. The Strategic Partner Award recognises organisations for their close collaboration with SCDF, while the Star Customer Award is given to individuals who have significantly enhanced public service outcomes through effective partnerships with SCDF.

 

Using virtual reality training and firefighting simulations, Assoc Prof Rai worked closely with SCDF Firefighting and Rescue Officer Major V Nisha and Psychologist Ms Cherie Goh on various projects. In an innovative study aimed at helping firefighters manage stress mindsets to improve their performance, a positive impact was observed. Their research was recently published in the journal Virtual Worlds and SCDF’s REaction (Rescuers in Action) technical publication.

 

This partnership continues to support SCDF’s mission to protect and save lives and property.
