Dear Minister:
My mom is critically ill in the hospital. She was admitted for reasons unrelated to covid but was also diagnosed with covid upon admission.
The doctor granted two family members special permission to see her (behind glass door) on 1 Oct. We rushed down to SGH but upon reaching there, we were told that “sorry, an ART is required before you can go in and our ART counter closes at 5.30pm. Home kits are not recognised. Please come back tomorrow”. Seriously? SGH imposes an ART rule before allowing one to have access to see their critically ill family members but keeps this counter open only from 830am to 530pm? Will patients choose to depart only during working hours? We left disappointed and wanted to go back first thing the following morning but alas, MOH sent an SMS at 530am on 2 Oct, slapping my sister and I with a QO. We had no chance to see my mom for what could possibly be the last time.
Thereafter, it was a flurry of attempts to reach out to various hotlines to explain our situation. Many Certis officers (who were manning the hotline) said they would escalate the case, but till now, no one has come back to us. An appeal number was given to us. We were told to get a doctor’s memo, which we did, and sent to the appeal hotline. Someone read the whatsapp message but did not bother to even acknowledge us. Calls to MOH hotline went unanswered and no one called back after we left our number. We had to plead with the doctor to try her best to keep our mom alive until we get over this QO ordeal.
In the meantime, our mom’s helper was diagnosed with covid on 3 Oct. We called the hotline again asking if MOH can help send our helper to quarantine facility. I wanted to quickly get out of this QO and see to my mom, and not risk an infection staying in the same house. The standard response from the officer was “please let your maid recover at home”. This entire episode makes me feel like we are just another statistical number to your Ministry and the MTF, with no consideration for the situation.
If the government has chosen the path of treating this whole covid situation like an endemic, then please follow through with similar protocols all the way. Why quarantine us, when we have been vaccinated and have a negative PCR test result? Moreover, in making us travel 10km to the nearest PCR center to take our PCR test, it is already a mockery of the situation. How many people would we have infected along the way if we were covid positive?
There are endless procedures introduced for the sake of having a procedure. All-in-all, an extremely bad handling of processes every step of the way!
Really shit! The MTF has no plans or ideas as to what shld be done along the way. They simply do not know how & what to do. Horrible!

Living with endemic is no fun thing, and it is easier said than done. There are lots of restrictions when we need to live with the Covid virus...

I think the team we have has very interest and low efficiency in running the country. But I do not have the solution.

They come out with such ruling without using their brain.
Preventing family members from visiting their critically ill/dying love one for the last time at the most critical moment. No compassion.
Remove that damn ART ruling requirment!!! MOH MINISTER.

There will be no solution, because the real solution will shake the whole system at its very core and eventually bring it down. And we do not know if the replacement system is good enough.
The only thing we can do now is to pray that the music does not stop at our generation.

The taskforce came up a half fook endemic policy and the team that implement it fook it up all the way. That's how we are in such a chaotic mess now.

HSA n MOH have many PhD holders... they r experts in their respective fields... they have all d data... studies tests results etc... they have good cases studies from Israel n US which have high vaccinated rates... didn't d Phds learn from these n adapt measures n policies to our country situation? They r highly paid by tax payers... what r they doing n thinking at their desks? All they do is ask for data from sinovac n do nothing else? Just map out roadmap n tell tax payers live with the inconveniences? Bid final farewell to the PGs after achieving high vaccination rates? Where is the accountability or even an acknowledgement of flops?

We don't spread viruses to others.
We don't create variants.
We don't talk down on others.
We aim to reduce the infected cases.
We don't prevent people from injecting what is approved internationally.

I concur with you. Living with coronavirus is worst than living with a few king cobras running around in your bedroom because you can see and evade the cobras whereas the virus you cannot see.........

In the past, while a lot of other countries are seeing a spike in number of cases, we have very low cases in sg. Now we are just going thru what other countries had gone thru previously. Once we passed this stage and the majority of the population had been infected, recovered and gained natural immunity, the situation will improve. The infection rate will come down and that's where endemic will begin. Hang on.

Yes, all wear mask from the very beginning and closed their border tightly and it is not because of vaccination, but communication and getting the message across clearly and simply and not going on bloomberg and CNN to crow about their fight with Covid
