The Covid-19-related announcements on May 14 has caused some buzz in local supermarkets in the afternoon.
Crowds were spotted at several supermarkets islandwide.
Speaking to Mothership, some of these residents said that they were planning to buy groceries anyway and decided to stock up a little more.
One admitted that she was buying more in case "got lockdown".
A supermarket staff also said that it was a busy afternoon for them, although the crowd dispersed by approximately 6pm.
Major supermarkets in Singapore, including NTUC FairPrice, Sheng Siong, Giant, and Cold Storage, posted on social media to inform shoppers that there is no need to buy more than usual, as they are well-stocked.
Minister for Trade and Industry Chan Chun Sing also wrote on Facebook to assure Singaporeans that our supply lines are intact, and retail outlets, including supermarkets, will remain open. There is thus no need to rush to buy groceries or essential items.
Recent photos at warehouses
In the evening, Chan shared another Facebook post showing recent photos our warehouse and NTUC FairPrice’s Distribution Centre Singapore.
One of the photos shows stacks of toilet papers that are almost ceiling-high.
And yes, these are very high ceilings.
Another photo depicts rows of food items stored at low temperature. Chan said that these were food items such as proteins.

Chan also thanked supermarket staff for replenishing in-store stocks calmly and steadily this afternoon.

"We have been working on our diversification, stockpile and local production. We are confident but never complacent," the minister added.

The first day of classes moved to full home-based learning (HBL) hardly went smoothly, as some students had trouble accessing the Student Learning Space (SLS) system on Wednesday morning (19 May).
All primary and secondary schools, junior colleges and Millenia Institute, as well as special education schools, moved to full HBL from 19 May to 28 May, amid the evolving new strains of COVID-19 in Singapore.
In a Facebook post yesterday, the Ministry of Education (MOE) said that it has “immediately activated additional system resources” after it was made aware of a “slowdown” in the SLS system.
“As at 9.30am, teachers have reported that the system is back on track,” said the Ministry, before offering an apology to those who were affected.
Following that, newly-appointed Education Minister Chan Chun Sing shared on Facebook an “interesting story” from a teacher on how three students reacted when facing difficulty accessing the SLS system yesterday morning.
Mr Chan, a former Minister for Trade and Industry, took over the MOE on Saturday (15 May), following the cabinet reshuffle announced by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on 23 April.
The first student said that he would “go and do something else” until the system is back on track.
The second student told the teacher that he wanted to be an IT engineer in the future, so that he can fix IT problems.
“A third said he would complain to MOE (or was it to the Minister?),” he wrote. “I wonder what proportion of the students gave which answer.”
Nevertheless, Mr Chan believes that yesterday’s issue of accessing the SLS system is a reflection of “tenacity”.
“If despite our efforts and things still don’t go smoothly, may we not let circumstances define us but let our responses define the outcome,” he remarked.
Speaking to parents on Thursday morning (20 May), the SLS system is working fine.

SINGAPORE - Singapore's autonomous universities will be able to admit more students this year as overseas study options continue to be disrupted by the Covid-19 pandemic, said Education Minister Chan Chun Sing.
In a Facebook post on Monday morning (May 24), Mr Chan said the local universities will have "some flexibility" to admit more students, but that admissions will not be made easier.
"The autonomous universities will continue to uphold admission standards, and ensure a high quality of education," he said.
In response to queries, the Education Ministry (MOE) said it is working closely with the six autonomous universities to determine the “appropriate number of places” that will be opened up to undergraduates this year.
This will be done by monitoring the quality of the applicants as well as student demand in the ongoing admissions exercise, it added.
An MOE spokesman, in an e-mail statement, said: “The allocation of additional places across the universities and courses will take into account relevant factors such as the quality of the applicant pool, areas/disciplines with strong student interest and employment prospects, and the autonomous universities’ capacity to take in more students.”
She added that MOE will continue to monitor the global Covid-19 situation, and work closely with the autonomous universities to support students, to ensure that their education journeys are not disrupted by the pandemic.
Singapore’s six autonomous universities are: the National University of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore Institute of Technology, Singapore Management University, Singapore University of Social Sciences and Singapore University of Technology and Design.
Last year, the Ministry of Education (MOE) said the six autonomous universities would make about 2,000 more offers across a range of courses.
In January this year, former education minister Lawrence Wong revealed that about 1,000 extra places were given out across the autonomous universities.
Some of these places went to those who had planned to study overseas, while others went to those who opted to study instead of joining a weak job market.
Mr Chan added that MOE will continue to monitor the global Covid-19 situation and work closely with the autonomous universities to support students.
The pandemic, along with rising anti-Asian hate crimes in the West, have led to a drop in the numbers of Singaporean students applying to traditionally popular higher education destinations.
Statistics on the British government website show that the number of student visa applications from Singaporeans to Britain fell from 2,535 new applications in 2019 to 1,421 last year.
For Australia, applications fell from 1,315 in 2019 to 530 last year, a 59 per cent decrease.

This is PAP policy, and this is why sinkies should Vote Opposition Until PAP Becomes The Opposition.

Chan Chun Sing = Gai Chun. 雞春
This type of behaviour by Keechiu i.e. pretending to inspect eggs, will greatly impress impressionable and easily manipulated sinkies.

It has been some days since we started full Home-Based Learning in schools. I dropped in virtually for a chat with the students and staff of NUS High School of Mathematics & Science.
The spirits of our students and staff remained high. We discussed a range of issues, from the school's unique curriculum to inspire and shape the future of education in mathematics and science, to the students' hopes and aspirations after graduation.
Happy to see the adaptability and resilience of our teachers and students amidst Covid-19. Thank you to our teachers for continuing to find ways to keep the learning for our students going. Encouraged by the curiosity of our students to keep exploring.
What really piqued my interest was the request by our teachers for opportunities to have stints in our research institutes and industries, to be kept current of the latest developments. I was thinking of that idea too! This is the best way to inspire our students with the desire for lifelong learning, when our educators demonstrate leadership by example. CCS

Great to hear that Keechiu checks on his residents everyday.
