It’s only been a couple of months since Ong Ye Kung has been appointed Health Minister and already we’re seeing how little transparency and accountability means to the dear gentleman.


And from Singaporeans’ outrage at what has gone on in such a short time, it looks like Ong has jinxed his chance of becoming future prime minister.


Ong transited from Transport to Health Minister between May and June this year. That’s when the Changi Airport Covid-19 cluster broke out. That’s also when Singaporeans were calling for tighter border control while Ong was still rigorously pushing for his jinxed “travel bubbles”.


The cause of the cluster turned out to be lapses in the management of high-risk foreign travellers, and that caused Singaporeans to suffer a one-month lockdown.


Of course, accountability for the lapses somehow went down the “no blame culture” route.


Then, when the India Covid variant seeped in, Ong in a masterful stroke of “don’t give two sh*ts” then decided to coin the term “South Asia” variant.


That move was met with much ridicule because Singaporeans all knew what lay behind that euphemism.


Now, with the more virulent Delta variant of Covid threatening to spread, Ong conveniently decides to deal another low blow to transparency and accountability.


The Ministry of Health has announced that it will no longer disclose details of each new Covid-19 case detected in the community.

Jinxed? Don't think you know how it works here. The more people dislike OYK, the higher is his chance of a promotion by LHL.
