Madam Elisabeth Fong, 46, has called the Ministry of Health (MOH) more than 100 times to find out what she should do to protect her Primary 6 son after one of her tenants tested positive for Covid-19.

Speaking to The Straits Times on Wednesday (Sept 29), she described the myriad of complex and at times contradictory Covid-19 protocols that she had dealt with over the past two weeks.

"I felt very helpless - knowing that my son was going to take PSLE," she said, referring to the Primary School Leaving Examination, with the first written paper starting on Thursday.

Walaneh. So it's people like her clogging up the MOH phone lines. Everything also call for help. Some sinkies are too used to following instructions from govt. Without instructions, cannot function. Just use your best judgement lah.

If one has it, the rest of the family members will likely have it. Skip PSLE, direct entry to secondary school of your choice. All Secondary schools are named RI and RGS.

You are right and sounds good.  We have to do the right protocols and take actions fast to protect ourselves and family members.

If you are a parent who has a child sitting for the PSLE, I'm sure you'll be just as anxious.  This is the first exam that will shape his life career later on.

Likely, all of them are on quarantine. Child needs to take the 2 Covid tests. 1 test results out in 24 hours.

So what do you think LKY would do to contain this virus? 

For me, i think LKY cares about economy more than LHL, when he needs to decide, he can be ruthless also. but it's not that i don't agree with him, i do agree with him, those who do big things, need to have very big heart and sometimes have to sacrifice some lives.

Maybe allow the vaccines approved by WHO in. Buy even more and donate out the excess to buy friendships.

It is truly challenging to make calls to establisments these days.
Press here press there eventually gets you to nowhere.

Must have lots of patience and perseverance if you wish to talk to a living person !

ever since under LHL, civil services is..... Even they pick up the call, their officer take dam long come to see. worst never come or mis communication with their fellow officer,

sometimes they will tell u , their department don't in charge , will inform the department in charge.
later no reply for days , weeks , call back, than they will claim oh ok we will check.
later few days back finally got people call back ...zzz

These days they always say..."due to Covid 19...blah blah blah"....

A trashy and outdated excuse to put one on hold for a long time.

Hope an MP will bring this issue up for address in Parliament.
