How Long More Can New Health Minister Ong Ye Kung Take Singaporeans for Fools?

[TerrexLee]

It’s only been a couple of months since Ong Ye Kung has been appointed Health Minister and already we’re seeing how little transparency and accountability means to the dear gentleman.


And from Singaporeans’ outrage at what has gone on in such a short time, it looks like Ong has jinxed his chance of becoming future prime minister.


Ong transited from Transport to Health Minister between May and June this year. That’s when the Changi Airport Covid-19 cluster broke out. That’s also when Singaporeans were calling for tighter border control while Ong was still rigorously pushing for his jinxed “travel bubbles”.


The cause of the cluster turned out to be lapses in the management of high-risk foreign travellers, and that caused Singaporeans to suffer a one-month lockdown.


Of course, accountability for the lapses somehow went down the “no blame culture” route.


Then, when the India Covid variant seeped in, Ong in a masterful stroke of “don’t give two sh*ts” then decided to coin the term “South Asia” variant.


That move was met with much ridicule because Singaporeans all knew what lay behind that euphemism.


Now, with the more virulent Delta variant of Covid threatening to spread, Ong conveniently decides to deal another low blow to transparency and accountability.


The Ministry of Health has announced that it will no longer disclose details of each new Covid-19 case detected in the community.

now you know why hes harping about vaccine 24/7 even though its basically nothing more than a band aid? Cause under him cases has exploded out of control. Its a massive clusterfuck and the only thing that he can hang on to to deflect his screw up is by saying 200+ cases is okay cause we got vaccine. That is also why he refuses to acknowledge any news about the downsides of vaccine/

All this motherfucker cares about is becoming PM. If the devil right nowoffers him a deal of 1) Become PM but half of SG drops dead or 2) SG recovers from covid but you don't become PM... he will choose the first option every single time.

It's the new normal: vaccine politics, vaccine economy and vaccine diplomacy.

The last one Sinkieland is not really a part of due to its relative insignificance now in the greater geopolitical chess game.

More like a damning indictment on the current PM. Who was the one who decided how the ministerial portfolios were assigned?

The buck stops with one guy. Don't let it slide simply because he shares the DNA of your 'Merdeka' political god.

Vaccine discrimination is the one I am most concerned and pissed off about.
