LATEST COVID MEASURES  - WHOSE FAULT??

1. KTVs abusing pivot to F&B

Government tried to help everyone under the ACRA classification of Nightclubs ,Bars, KTVs to pivot.

These outlets were all forced to close since April 2020.

As long as you fall under this classification, you could pivot and build a kitchen (even apply for grant if they qualify) and allowed to continue operations. It’s a streamlined way of offering help, so people can get help fast.

Some people abused it, pretended to serve food, but operated vice instead.

Police try to close them, but it’s hard when people are determined to play cat and mouse.

The vast majority of law abiding operators I am sure are grateful for the help.

Now everyone has to close.

2. Vietnamese coming in on sponsored social social visit pass.

Since April 2020 many couples have been separated by border closures.

It’s already hard enough for legally married couples. 

It’s even harder for people in long term serious relationships who are not married.

The Government exercised compassion and allowed Singaporeans to sponsor their unmarried partners in.

Some people abused it, but how to check?

How do you force people to prove that their relationship is bona fide?

We give the benefit of the doubt. But some abuse it.

Now it’s all cancelled.

MORAL OF STORY : Government tries to help. People abuse it. This is not a loophole.

Stop blaming the Government.

Stop blaming foreigners.

Blame the people who abuse privileges and aid, who cause problems for all of us.

This is a pandemic, situation is in flux worldwide.

Stop complaining.

Most of us are trying our best.

Thank you.

That is the situation we are facing now..

HALF the population in Singapore have received both doses of the Covid-19 vaccines as of July 19, but there are still 200,000 seniors who have yet to take the jab, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said on Tuesday.

Speaking at a virtual press conference, Mr Ong, who co-chairs Singapore's multi-ministry Covid-19 taskforce, said unvaccinated seniors, who are above 60, have a high likelihood of falling critically ill once infected.

"Let's say 10 per cent of them get infected, that's 20,000 (who will) be in hospital. Among them, 10 to 15 per cent - that's 2,000 to 3,000 - will end up in the ICU (intensive care unit). It's a huge, huge number," said Mr Ong.

Noting that Singapore's hospital capacity must be protected, he said: "Once that is under pressure or overwhelmed, it will be a disaster, and many people and patients will be affected."


The Health Ministry said in a press release that it is deploying mobile vaccination teams to estates where there are more unvaccinated seniors, and seniors can also walk into any vaccination centre for their first appointment.

Meanwhile, Singapore is on track to reach its target of having two-thirds of its population vaccinated by National Day, with about 80,000 shots administered daily, said Mr Ong.
