Chee Hong Tat scolds India Chief Minister Kejriwal.....got ask permission from pinky boh?

Definitely got permission... a lowly minion doing the dirty job for Loong, while Loong himself hides in the shadows waiting for the news cycle to blow over.

Not the first time. :cool:
 
Is this the best this ex top military guy can do?
He is not very different from the Indian guy lah,
through his use of unrefined language and a message
for which he would have time to compose before
shooting off his big mouth.
Clown. No wonder he was despatched to NTUC.

Its certainly not a ministerial statement. Just a mere expression of interest to stay relevant! :wink:
 
Ah Neh CM will tell Chee Tat and Vivian to suck his hairy balls.
 
They need to POFMA the source of the news or it will spread like Covid!

4-5 minutes



Amid a Singapore Covid-19 strain face-off, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, on Wednesday, chaired a high-level review meeting that was attended by Health Minister Satyendar Jain and Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.
While the Delhi government believes there is a new strain originating from Singapore that could lead to a third wave in India, the aspect of “Singapore strain” has been strongly refuted by the Singapore Government. External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, too, tweeted that Delhi Chief Minister does not speak for India and that “irresponsible comments” from those who should know better can damage long-standing partnerships.

Kejriwal’s review meeting came hours after Delhi Health Minister Satyendra Jain reportedly said on Wednesday that it is wrong to say there is no Covid strain particular to Singapore and that there are several strains in India. “I will give you a clarification on the Singapore strain very soon. I am sure there is a new strain in India ..(originating in Singapore),” Jain told reporters at his camp office in the capital.

Singapore refutes claims​

Earlier, on Tuesday, Singapore dismissed media reports quoting Arvind Kejriwal that a very dangerous trend of the novel coronavirus was prevalent in the city state, saying there is no truth whatsoever in such assertions.

Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected and expressed regrets over Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's “unfounded” assertions made on Facebook and Twitter on Tuesday that a variant found in Singapore was particularly harmful to children and could cause a third wave of infections in India.
“..there is no “Singapore variant”. The strain prevalent in many of the cases in recent weeks is the B.1.617.2 variant, which was first detected in India,” the Singapore Foreign Affairs Ministry statement issued on Wednesday said.
Meanwhile, India’s Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Arindam Bagchi confirmed that the Singapore Government had called in the Indian High Commissioner to convey strong objection to Delhi CM’s tweet on the ‘Singapore variant’.
“High Commissioner clarified that Delhi CM had no competence to pronounce on Covid variants or civil aviation policy,” Bagchi tweeted.

On a placatory note, Minister of External Affairs S Jaishankar tweeted that Singapore and India have been solid partners in the fight against Covid-19.
“Appreciate Singapore’s role as a logistics hub and oxygen supplier. Their gesture of deploying military aircraft to help us speaks of our exceptional relationship,” said Jaishankar.
Taking to Twitter on Tuesday, Kejriwal had said that the new strain of coronavirus in Singapore could invade India in the form of a third wave. “The new form of coronavirus in Singapore is said to be very dangerous for children. It could reach Delhi in the form of a third wave. My appeal to the Central government – (1) cancel all air services with Singapore with immediate effect (2) to work on vaccine alternatives for children on a priority basis,” the Delhi CM said in a tweet in Hindi.
Responding to Kejriwal’s tweet, Singapore’s health ministry said: “There is no truth whatsoever in the assertions found within the reports. There is no Singapore variant. The strain that is prevalent in many of the Covid cases in recent weeks is the B.1.617.2 variant, which originated in India. Phylogenetic testing has shown this B.1.617.2 variant to be associated with several clusters in Singapore.”

Arvind Kejriwal has kicked up a diplomatic row with Singapore with his social media claim about a Covid strain in that country, drawing a sharp response from the city state that was in turn used by the Narendra Modi government to settle political scores with its bête noire in the national capital.
After Kejriwal’s remarks were splashed across newspapers in Singapore on Wednesday along with the Singaporean health ministry’s rebuttal, the country’s foreign minister first publicly ticked off the Delhi chief minister. The Singapore government then summoned India’s high commissioner who clarified that Kejriwal had no competence to speak on Covid variants or determine India’s civil aviation policy.
Later in New Delhi, Singapore’s high commissioner expressed satisfaction with India’s clarification while stating that his country reserved the right to invoke the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (PoFMA) against Kejriwal.

On Tuesday, Kejriwal had tweeted in Hindi that a new Covid strain that he claimed had emerged in Singapore was reported to be very dangerous for children and that it could trigger a third wave in India. He had demanded a temporary ban on flights from Singapore and a plan to vaccinate children.
Responding to Kejriwal’s tweet, Singapore’s foreign minister Vivian Balakrishnan told him on the micro-blogging site: “Politicians should stick to facts! There is no ‘Singapore variant’.”
This was followed by the summoning of the Indian high commissioner in Singapore, which was officially confirmed by the Indian external affairs ministry. Rarely does the ministry officially confirm such summons of mission heads by the host country.
External affairs ministry spokesman Arindam Bagchi tweeted: “Singapore Government called in our High Commissioner today to convey strong objection to Delhi CM’s tweet on ‘Singapore variant’. High commissioner clarified that Delhi CM had no competence to pronounce on Covid variants or civil aviation policy.”
 
"In a statement on Friday, the NTUC said that PM Lee had written to its president, Ms Mary Liew, on Wednesday to request that Dr Koh be released from his role so that he can return full-time to government service, and also requested that the NTUC Central Committee consider accepting Mr Chee into the labour movement.

On Thursday, the NTUC Central Committee met and accepted PM Lee's request, the statement added."

Don't play play.
This guy was speaking with His Master's Voice!
 
Is this the best this ex top military guy can do?
He is not very different from the Indian guy lah,
through his use of unrefined language and a message
for which he would have time to compose before
shooting off his big mouth.
Clown. No wonder he was despatched to NTUC.

You confused chee hong tat with (most useless) 3-star general ng chee meng? Don't think he's from the military.

They need to POFMA yourself and your pathetic opinions

Oops. My bad. Difficult to differentiate incompetent people when they work together in the same team.
