They got their cases down to almost zero. Restrictions sre moderate and they still link cases to keep a tight lid.
Why do we need to go for current approach?
Why not let cases fall to single digit near zero then open gradually from there keeping numbers down?
Why so eager to open tourism when few will come anyway ...Will not make much difference to economy.
Imagine in cases rise to the thousand then we start restrictions to push number down it will be a challenging task and take much longer ....it will even be worse for economy.
And drag on much longer.
Just don't see any benefit of current strategy I think it is foolish.

This maybe due to our mRNA vaccines focus. Vaccinated and can get infected. The others have the mixture. Our trace together is like useless. No more disclosure of unlinked cases to the public. The reporting reduced to 1 and late at night. More focus on the un-vaccinated.
If we have 1 fishery port for live fishes, we will have no good alternative when it is closed.
When we tried to open, the cases went up. Some countries have zero unlinked case strategy as their standard. The bubbles burst. We move to live with the viruses.
We still can have zero unlinked case strategy if we approve the booster shots for both mRNA and inactivated. The trace together becomes useful again.

very easy to explain.
For TW and HK, the govt and the people are on the same side.
For Singapore, the govt and the people are on the different side.

OKY needs to be sacked or replaced.
Can we live with Covid if we have daily 1000 covid cases ?
In one month, we will have 30,000 cases in hospitals for observation.
Has he recruited extra nurses and doctors to take care of these daily 1000 cases ?
First, he needs to build a new hospital to take care daily 1000 covid cases in endemic for next 2 to 3 years.
Then Singapore can live with covid.

If you sack OYK, another "OYK" from the same team will take over, no difference?

taiwan is getting a few hundred new cases now. It will be worse in the next few week.
taiwan has a bad policy. In the past, the numbers were small because tw people is super KS and always wear masks.

WE do not have capable Govt like Hong Kong.
Their MTR is global services for other countries. Ours can only suck blood from local commuters.
Even their Labour Dept do not have 13 Years- old Mistake with such Employment Pass criteria. That is why do not have have Beggars Patch Work with 8 Stupid Sister- Agencies under MOM.
Look at how Tan SL works can tell, his PHD brain also cannot lead nor be better than Hong Kong Labour Dept.
Why do we need 5 Mayors and 80 PAP Ministers?

if you don't sack the under perform, it will be even worse.
There is no chance to be better.
The right thing to do is to sack the under perform and then look for the right person.
There is chance to be better.

PAP say we have lots of Human Capital as our Resource that is why we can be so rich and wealthy.
But FTs and their Dependents come here to either rob our existing resources or some, be a nuisance.

What spirit are you talking about? The seventh month is already over.
The Singapore you talk about is not there . Influx of FTs has divided the people of this nation. We do not have the unity like before as in pre 2000. Values have eroded. New citizen thinks they are better , smarter and richer than us locals.
As for uniting the people it will be a difficult task as the people in power cater more to the newly influx group of new citizens. I may be wrong . Please correct me.
tomorrow will be a better day

The problem is we are not willing to learn from China!
Instead, we chose to ape after "developed world" which has failed miserably in handling the pandemic!

Very simple. Taiwan stat can be revised any time. They can say missed out some cases that are supposed to be reported a few months ago. Also, Taiwan approach is always no test no case.
MOH at least haven't pull this stunt yet, so I will still trust the number they released every night until they break that trust.
1. I have served the nation in a combat unit for 2.5 + 10 years. I had fulfilled my duty as a citizen, but has the country do it's part for me?
2. I don't know where the threat of CCP is, but I know the threat of CECA is already at my doorsteps
3. I had been called a CCP, JHK, Pinoy, but they never called me a CECA..

We can't learn from China because China can afford to close border, we cant and we don't want to also.

In the endemic model
1.disease will spread. Ard 2% above 50yo and vaccinated is known to die from disease
2 based on our population size the deaths are in tens of thousands.
3. Unless we are prepared for so many deaths and ICU resources maxed out, there will be U trun.
4. When U turn from high level it will take longer and makes things worse.
