There is one whom most evangelical Christians call him the "Prince of Preachers ".

As low as you can possibly manage. If we can get 100% of the population vaccinated , why not do it ? If we can allow the Delta variant die off first , then do an assessment and reopen in phases , why not do it ? Is there a mad rush to open everything so fast and then hit into a tsunami of...

Damage control now. But put the blame still on the virus ... it didn't follow their script.

What i mean is you should first understand the Delta variant potency by studying from other countries and tailor the measures to Singapore appropriately. Singapore is not the same as US or China or India. We are a densely populated city state. And people density is where the virus will thrive...

My greatest fear is the Delta variant may mutate to a more aggressive virus variant that attacks children more than seniors. If that happens, all hell breaks loose. My take is that we have underestimated the malignancy and pervasiveness of the Delta virus and put too much confidence in the...

They are getting increasingly uneasy especially when more elderly are falling sick, needing oxygen and dying. If they are true to their strategy, they would not have told the seniors to stay home. It is as good as telling the seniors ," Uncle, please help. The death rate is getting a bit too...

Actually, Tharman will make a good PM. Seriously, it will also cast away any perception of Chinese privilege in the Party.

SINGAPORE: Singapore reported a record 2,268 new COVID-19 cases as of noon on Wednesday (Sep 29) and eight more fatalities from complications due to the disease. The five men and three women, all Singaporean, were aged between 72 and 90. Six of them were unvaccinated. One was partially...

The MTF is trying to change course, but they lack the moral courage to call a complete lockdown because that will be like a slap on their mouth. So, they pull back on the opening a bit just so to dampen the steep rise of the infection case and not give the impression that it is a heightened...

Until WHO calls it a flu , it is not. It is classified as a deadly virus.

Which is worse? Life lost or business lost ? Isn't the government supposed to help those who are financially impacted by Covid ?

Because it is virus. There is only one way to kill a virus. It is by letting it die on its own. But it will not die off as long as there are people around spreading it. You don't know how long this virus will linger on... for all you know, it gets mutated and become even more infectious.

From a pure economic cost analysis, they can just open the economy and let people die. There is a name for people who do this for pure monetary gain. They are called mercenaries. But because they are not just economists , they are elected leaders. Their first job is to ensure the welfare of...

You don't need a bunch of highly literate folks to know that how to handle the covid. We have done it before with SAR. We can take a leaf from that experience. When you see the infection case spikes , you should have doubled down your control measures. If you hesitate , you lose more ground...

Spot on. HSR will be revived if he is back in politics. For all his weaknesses , Najib is very much an economist and pro-business politician. That is why foreign countries like to work with him.

SINGAPORE: The United States on Monday (Sep 27) raised its COVID-19 travel advisory levels for Singapore and Hong Kong, urging those who are unvaccinated to avoid non-essential travel. The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) adjusted its advisory for Singapore by one rung to...

None other than the most literate man in the Parliament - VB.

SINGAPORE: Singapore's death toll from COVID-19 jumped to 85 on Tuesday (Sep 28) as five more elderly people died from complications. The fatalities come as the Ministry of Health (MOH) reported a record 2,236 new COVID-19 cases as of noon on Tuesday. No wonder our population is shrinking.

Seriously, I wouldn't be surprised that the number will go higher in the coming weeks. I thought the public will take this covid 19 seriously by observing safe distancing and mask wearing, but I am shocked to see that in a number of places , the rules are not observed. How naive and wrong I am...

The authorities have tacitly admitted that they have opened up too fast and too wide leading to the sharp rise in cases and increased death toll. Instead of saying they are making a U - turn, they are saying that they are making adjustments to smoothen the "bumps" on the highway to endemic...
