Even if it is, it is an organised mess.
We are only a very small country. Yet, I can bet you that all the Indian workers in quarantine are thanking their lucky stars that they are facing Covid19 in Singapore and not in India. In India, they probably would still be in the streets. Some of them cannot even go into lockdown simply because they are homeless and MUST live in the streets.
If they catch Covid19, their chances of surviving here are higher than back home, in India.
新加坡人身在福中不知福
In these dark days, we should be supporting the government. Wait until the sun comes out before you humtum them. Right at this time, they need our love and encouragement to continue the struggle. I have nothing but praise for the Singapore government throughout this.
Sure! They made mistakes. You never make mistakes meh?
They also have the courage to face the mistakes and adjust their approach. This is a never before faced virus. We thought it would be like SARS but it is not. Hence, the containment strategy for SARS did not work entirely well. The Singapore government was nimble enough to adjust course and learn on the fly.
Stop bashing it for...
- not picking up the issue in the workers' dorms early enough...
- the filth of the workers' dorms
Our army boys live in dorms too. However, there is army discipline to ensure hygiene. The only way to keep dorms clean is to have that same sort of discipline. Unless, you think that maids should be deployed to the workers' dorms to clean for them. Come on, if there is no maid service to my son's army barracks and my son has to wash his own clothes by hand in the dorm, why should there be maid service to the workers' dorms?
So, poor Josephine Teo has to get bashed for Indian workers' daily hygiene lapses. To hurl rotten eggs and brickbats at people who are working hard to keep you safe is already ridiculous enough. To hurl rotten eggs at them for what is patently not their fault is simply Trump-like. It is narcissistic and bullying behaviour.
