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.

Cause our Bananas in govt still tot they are White British

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.

In deeper thought, it shd be called Singapore culture.

The problem with current team is that they keep on eroding our Sg identity by bringing huge numbers of FTs and thinking that they can always integrate with us very well.

This is actually not the case.
By bringing huge numbers of 1 type of races, another culture will soon replace our Sg culture. This is the most foolish thing the current team is doing. Be prepare to go back to 3rd World country if no drastic action is taken.

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.

You say no use.... Underperform, no problem for current Team.

To try to achieve O case is impossible in our case...it shd b country specific n not a size fits all approach.

We need to have a yin yang balance to maximise the benefits in a turbulent world ., otherwise we will b swallowed up by this pandemic...no body knows how long it will lasts...

Remember we dont have a huge hinterland n OCBC behind us unlike HK, no need to worry about defence , water, security , manpower ,  no $$$ issues etc as tgese r all taken care by big brother..n most importantly having a homogenous population.

Whereas we have a royak society with hundreds thousands of foreign workers from v poor countries , mostly uneducated people with different unhygenic  habits, customs , behavious etc, 

N we have to deal n come to contact with our neigbours, mostly unvacs on trade..our saviour.

N we have to open our airport, seaport to the world of viruses for biz , trade ,saving jobs n survival  ...our gold mine can run out in no time without transactions , dealings ..etc

Wat nonsense cannot!
This beri moment now!
Just set the PCR to 17.
To see the problem of the test u can collect fluids from
various sick people stir well and send for test same result no virus load detected
meaning no sick.

Next you demand the virus be isolated.

Coffer empty? If $400bn valuation increase in reserves last year means coffer empty, then maybe we need $4 trillion then consider not empty.... faint
