SINGAPORE - Officials should not spread information prematurely as this could cause confusion and alarm during a crisis situation, said Minister-in-charge of the Public Service Chan Chun Sing on Sunday (Feb 9).
"Internally we will make sure that our processes are strengthened and our people involved in all these know their roles well," he said.
Mr Chan was responding to questions from reporters about a Health Ministry press release on Friday announcing Singapore was moving to the orange disease outbreak status.
While the news officially broke after about 5.20pm that day, an earlier version of the release had been leaked to the public several hours before and was circulating widely on WhatsApp and other channels.
Mr Chan, who is also Trade and Industry Minister, said officials should have the discipline and maturity not to share information prematurely.
But at the same time, in order to work fast during a crisis situation, information needs to be shared simultaneously with multiple agencies, he said.

As Singapore enters Orange Alert (perhaps even Red, if the situation worsens), our hearts must go to the people of Wuhan, the humanity at Novel Coronavirus Ground Zero in Hubei province, central China. In particular, all hats off to the doctors and nurses trying to cope with and contain the virus outbreak which has not yet peaked and may get worse.
For special mention and perhaps nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize this year: Dr Li Wenliang, the hero and fast becoming an icon, who had just died after contracting the virus while treating patients in Wuhan. He was the whistle blower who tried in a closed WeChat group last December to warn the local authorities about the virus but was told by the police to “stop making false comments” and was investigated for “spreading rumours”. His death sparked an avalanche of public anger and grief in China. The 34-year-old ophthalmologist became infected himself. Nothing Li said was incorrect, but it came as officials in the city were initially downplaying the seriousness of the outbreak and its danger to the public.
By Friday (Feb 8) morning, the South China Morning Post reported, hashtags “Dr Li Wenliang has passed away” had 670 million views, “Li Wenliang has passed away” had 230 million views and “I want freedom of speech” had 2.86 million views on Weibo. They were, however, quickly removed by the shaken authorities.
All power to the whistle blowers and to the Chinese social media which carried the justified backlash at the authorities in a media-controlled society (much like Singapore) by a regime which dislikes dissent or bad news (again, much like a government we are all very familiar with).
Now, throughout China, Time said, fear is mixing with inchoate rage. “In Hubei province, people from Wuhan are ostracised. But in other provinces, people from anywhere in Hubei are shunned. Videos circulating on social media show vigilantes tooling up to protect their villages. In one video, a man in a dark jacket and wide-brimmed hat guards a bridge with a pistol. In another, a man in an orange puffer jacket sits on a table at the entrance to his village, brandishing an enormous sword. All have signs nearby with a common theme: outsiders cannot pass.”
Singapore, if and when orange turns into red, may face its first real test of nationhood. No amount of pseudo-Bicentennialism celebration can substitute for the coming challenge of community trust. Already some signs of panic buying and irresponsible behaviour have been showing. Medical swipes, thermometers and surgical masks are being hoarded amid a stream of fake news and mischievous online postings.
And there is this huge group of 30,000 work-pass holders from China due to come back to Singapore after the New Year break. They will be put on the mandatory 14 days leave of absence first. Do we sympathise with them as we would the people of Wuhan? Or shun them as collateral damage in Singaporeans’ overall disenchantment with the PAP government’s pro-foreigner policies?

So all the politicians are telling us NO NEED to wear mask if u are fine.
How come I went to watch the news, in China everyone wearing masks even the Chinese Vice Premier wore them when she visited hospitals ? Does that mean she is sick and didn’t wanna spread to others ?
Chinese Vice Premier Sun Chunlan, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, visits Leishenshan (Thunder God Mountain) Hospital in Wuhan, central China's Hubei Province, Feb. 8, 2020.

WUHAN, Feb. 8 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Vice Premier Sun Chunlan Saturday stressed racing against time to accept and treat patients infected with the novel coronavirus.
Sun, who leads a central government group to guide the epidemic control work in Hubei Province, said that targeted treatment should be carried out according to the severity of patients' conditions.
Sun also highlighted the distribution of protective materials to medics to ensure the frontline fighters' safety.
During Saturday's inspection tour of Wuhan, the group visited Leishenshan (Thunder God Mountain) Hospital, a field hospital used for severe and critically ill patients, and two vocational schools that are being converted into quarantine spots.
Under the group's guidance, more than 11,000 medical staff from across the country joined the fight against the virus in Wuhan, three designated hospitals were renovated to accept patients in severe condition, and three public-facility-turned temporary hospitals established for patients with mild symptoms.

Lee Hsien Loong surrounds himself with flatterers and fools. And unlike an introspective leader, he himself is a fool who indulges in self-flattery. It's a continuous feedback loop.
“I am surrounded by flatterers and fools. It can drive a man to madness,.. . Half of them don’t dare tell me the truth, and the other half can’t find it.”

I thought we have ample supply. NTUC conned us. Ah Loong conned us.
Lies, lies, lies.
Sinkees still have confidence in the government handling of this crisis?

PAP and NTUC as usual create the chaos and then comes up with their so-called solutions. In the meantime asking people not to panic and over-react when they raised the alert to orange. I think they are enjoying their prime-time limelight and tv exposure.
