Welcomed the Year of the Water Rabbit with the staff and patients at Sengkang General Hospital (SKH) earlier this morning.
For many of us, last year marked a return to normalcy. But for our healthcare workers, it was a difficult year as the burden of normalcy falls on them, as we went through three COVID-19 waves.
I thank all of you for what you are doing.
To everyone, I wish you all the best in this new year. 新年快乐!

SINGAPORE – On the first day of Chinese New Year on Sunday, Mr Joseph Goh hit the road early for some extra cash before celebrations with his family later in the day.
The 57-year-old, who has been a private-hire vehicle driver for about six years, said he prefers to work even during holidays to make sure he has enough to cover the daily rental fee of $90 for his Toyota Noah. Mr Goh drives for several ride-hailing platforms, clocking 12- to 14-hour shifts every day.
On Sunday, he and other private-hire vehicle drivers, taxi drivers, as well as airport staff at Changi Airport Terminal 3, received thanks for providing essential services during the festive period.

Health Minister Ong Ye Kung and Senior Minister of State for Transport and Sustainability and the Environment Amy Khor joined leaders from two affiliated associations of the National Trades Union Congress – the National Taxi Association (NTA) and National Private Hire Vehicles Association (NPHVA) – in handing out gift bags and engaging with the workers.
Pasir Ris-Punggol GRC MP Yeo Wan Ling, who is also an adviser to NTA and NPHVA, said: “It has been a tough two-over years for our point-to-point driving community – braving the dry ridership spells that the pandemic brought and marching on despite low or zero earnings for stretches of time in the darkest moments.
“Our taxi and private-hire vehicle drivers have been putting in longer working hours to cater to the transportation needs of the community and, more recently, the increase in international visitors. Today, we thank them for their tenacity and resilience, and for sacrificing their family time to ferry us from point to point during this festive period.”

She added that both associations will continue to ensure that drivers’ interests are taken care of, and that they receive the support they need.

Mr Goh, who is also a general secretary of NPHVA, said: “Even though costs are rising, it is also important to remember to spend time with our families for special occasions like Chinese New Year. We, as drivers, are also human.”

SINGAPORE – For Singaporeans, 2022 was when life mostly returned to normal, but this was not so for healthcare workers. They had to deal with multiple waves of Covid-19 infections, said Health Minister Ong Ye Kung on Sunday.
“It was a very difficult year for the healthcare sector,” he told reporters at Sengkang General Hospital, where he was visiting healthcare workers on the first day of Chinese New Year.
He said: “Looking back at last year... our society (became) more resilient towards Covid-19. And I think Singaporeans can find and feel that life went back to normal.

“But for healthcare workers, it was the most difficult year; they had to go through three infection waves.”
The three waves that hit the Republic in 2022 involved sub-variants of the highly transmissible Omicron strain, with the first BA.2 wave peaking in March. This was followed by the spread of the BA.5 sub-variant in June and July, then XBB in October and November.
After making his rounds of the various wards to offer healthcare workers and patients festive wishes and mandarin oranges, Mr Ong expressed his gratitude to all healthcare workers. “Thank you, especially for the last year, for all that you have done,” he said.

Before his visit to Sengkang General Hospital, Mr Ong was at Changi Airport Terminal 3 with Dr Amy Khor, Senior Minister of State for Transport and Sustainability and the Environment, handing out gift bags to private-hire and taxi drivers as well as airport staff.

They were joined by leaders from two affiliated associations of the National Trades Union Congress – the National Taxi Association and the National Private Hire Vehicles Association.
