And I am stating a fact that someone that sells nude is cheap. Want to lead easy life by selling nude is called cheap no matter how you packaged it as otherwise.
Why disturbed, harassed and persecuted me when I am not cheap and lead a difficult life to make it good by myself? Knnbccb

As an 83-year-old, I am appreciative and grateful that Health Minister Ong Ye Kung is always looking into ways to improve the quality of life for the elderly (Call to rethink active ageing centres to engage more seniors, Dec 6).
Not only is Mr Ong one of the main drivers of the coming Healthier SG initiative, but he is also very active in reaching out to Singaporeans to educate them on the proper ways of exercising for good health, especially on social media platform TikTok.
Many thanks to Mr Ong for his efforts.

Visited our Mobile Vaccination Team (MVT) this morning at Hong Kah North CC.
We are rolling out MVTs again to make vaccinations more convenient for our seniors.
Currently about 9 in 10 seniors aged 60 years and above have achieved minimum protection (3 x mRNA or Novavax/Nuvaxovid; or 4 x Sinovac-CoronaVac). But only 6 in 10 are up to date with their COVID-19 vaccination.
With MVTs, we hope more seniors will get themselves up to date with vaccinations. Each MVT will be at the site for three days and seniors can walk in without an appointment. The MVTs will offer both the bivalent Pfizer-BioNTech/Comirnaty and Moderna/Spikevax vaccines.
Alternatively, our seniors can visit https://gowhere.gov.sg/vaccine to find the nearest COVID-19 vaccination location to them.

SINGAPORE - The Republic hopes more vulnerable seniors will get their boosters as a new bivalent vaccine was made available here on Monday.
More than 386,000 people in the country have received a shot of a bivalent Covid-19 vaccine since it was introduced in mid-October, the Ministry of Health (MOH) said.
Meanwhile, a bivalent version of Pfizer-BioNTech’s Comirnaty Covid-19 vaccine was made available on Monday for those aged 12 and above. Previously, only Moderna’s bivalent vaccine was available here after it was rolled out on Oct 14.
Bivalent vaccines provide protection against the original Sars-CoV-2 strain of the virus, as well as the Omicron sub-variants.
The introduction of another vaccine type may encourage more people to come forward to get their boosters, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung told reporters on Monday.
He said about 70 deaths or intensive care cases per 10,000 infections occur among those aged 70 and above with no minimum protection. This is compared with the general population, where about five in every 10,000 infections end up in the intensive care unit or die.
The emphasis is still on getting senior citizens up to date with their vaccinations, he said.
MOH said on Dec 7 that about nine in 10 seniors aged 60 and above have minimum protection, which means they have taken three doses of Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna or Novavax/Nuvaxovid vaccines or four doses of Sinovac-CoronaVac.
Six in 10 are up to date with their Covid-19 vaccinations, meaning they have taken their last booster in the past six to 12 months.
However, there are still about 40,000 eligible seniors who have not yet achieved minimum protection against Covid-19.
The pandemic situation here is “calm and stable”, with low case numbers and a lower number of patients in hospitals following the XBB wave, Mr Ong said.
XBB, a sub-variant of the Omicron strain, was responsible for a surge in Covid-19 cases here in October, which subsided by early November.
As at noon on Sunday, the seven-day moving average of new local cases stood at 1,031.
There were 101 Covid-19 patients in the hospital, of whom 11 required oxygen supplementation while six were in intensive care.
However, questions remain over the arrival of winter in the Northern Hemisphere when diseases, including Covid-19, tend to spread, as well as China’s recent announcement of the easing of its pandemic restrictions.
Singapore’s resilience against the coronavirus is high, Mr Ong said, noting that the country has been through three waves of Covid-19, driven by various Omicron sub-variants, this year alone.
But there are “bound to be mutations” should the coronavirus spread among China’s mostly uninfected population, he said.
Mr Ong was speaking to reporters on the sidelines of a visit to the mobile vaccination team at Hong Kah North Community Club.
Monday marked the redeployment of such mobile vaccination teams to heartland areas, to make it more convenient for seniors to get their vaccines.
MOH had earlier said these teams will be deployed to eight locations – including community centres and clubs in Choa Chu Kang, Kampong Chai Chee and Toa Payoh Central – between Monday and Jan 12. These teams will be deployed at each site for three days before moving on to the next location. The schedule is available at https://gowhere.gov.sg
With things almost back to normal, many people may feel no rush to get another shot of the vaccine, said Mr Ong. Efforts such as the mobile vaccination teams help bring the vaccinations closer to residents. “It’s very convenient. On the way to the coffee shop or the market, you can just drop by and get your jab,” he added.
Mr Tan Kok Ping, operations director for PanCare Medical Clinic, which runs the site at Hong Kah North Community Club, said it can vaccinate between 80 and 150 people a day.
Among those getting their jabs on Monday morning was Bukit Batok resident Napsiah Ali Mohd, 53, who got a shot of the Moderna bivalent vaccine.
The food and beverage supervisor, whose entire family caught Covid-19 in May, said she went to get her second booster as she wanted to get protection against re-infection. This is especially since she plans to travel in the coming year, she said.
Around 65 per cent of Singapore’s eligible population are up to date with their Covid-19 vaccinations as at Dec 10.

SINGAPORE -Dialects have the human touch and can promote intimacy, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on Monday. Even if they may not have much commercial value, they can help bind people emotionally.
Mr Ong was speaking in Hokkien and Mandarin to more than 800 guests at the 100th anniversary dinner of the Singapore Ann Kway Association at the Shangri-La Hotel ballroom.
On his daughter’s interest in learning Hokkien from his wife, the minister said: ”She said learning Hokkien is important. There are about 7,000 languages in the world, and we cannot afford to lose Hokkien.”
Mr Ong observed that her daughter has also started speaking the dialect with her grandmother. “It may not have much commercial value, but dialects do have the effect of bringing people closer,” he added.
Mr Yeo Hoon Chong, chairman of the clan association, which has more than 2,000 members, said that the association had set up 32 village schools in the early days to provide education for children here. Today, not many young people wish to join the clan association. “We see many students who struggle with learning Chinese,” he said in Hokkien. “I propose that Chinese clan associations like Ann Kway set up Chinese tuition classes.”
Explaining how people of different ages have benefited from joining clan associations, he said: “While the older generation looks forward to visiting their ancestral village in China, middle-aged members wish to find their roots through the clan association.
“Meanwhile, the younger generation can look for business opportunities, and I encourage them to do so with the rapid development of our (clan’s) ancestral home town (in Anxi County, China).

OYK has enrolled himself into a study. 
From time to time, we hear about a medical moon shot – a major breakthrough as significant as sending a person to the moon. It promises a cure for many diseases, including cancer.
We are on the cusp of witnessing a medical moon shot, because of precision medicine.
This involves mapping the genome of a human being, and fixing diseases at the genome level in very precise ways; at its roots, and even customising treatment and care for patients.
But we need to continue to understand the science, develop health protocols, govern this breakthrough with new laws and educate the public.
Today, we launched the landmark SG100K research programme, to better understand the science.
SG100K will map the genome of 100,000 Singaporeans, then monitor and follow their health over a few decades. This will give scientists a deep understanding of the interactions between nature (the genome) and nurture (social and environmental conditions and factors).
The human spirit always venture into the unknown, to seek breakthroughs that benefit our future generations.
In my own little way to support this research programme, and more broadly the human spirit, I have enrolled myself into the study. I wish the SG100K investigators every success, as we continue our quest towards a future of better health.

Glad to meet Taipei Mayor Dr Ko Wen-je 柯文哲, who was in Singapore for a short visit. As a doctor, he used to visit Singapore regularly before he entered politics. We had a good discussion on managing the COVID-19 pandemic and challenges of an ageing population.
I wish him all the best for his next endeavours after eight years as Taipei Mayor.
