Corona Virus Disease (COVID-19) Updates

Don’t worry lah, the army camps chosen are those that have been vacant for some time or for reservists. Not the active camps, I think.
花瓶 Josephine Teo, I don’t know what to say.
Last SAT night, I highlighted that the FWs might pass virus to their GF maids when they meet on their off days. On that last Sunday before CB, MOM continued to allow maids to go for their off days, very slow to response! Case #1615, a female Indonesian WP holder, classified as unlinked case, hopefully she’s not the first maid here to kena covid from FWs.
The cause and effect has to be clear.
Before the dorms blow up, SG already has widespread community infection and the Mustafa cluster’s index patient could be anybody. Mustafa is also a favorite place for Singaporeans and it’s open 24hrs. Who knows someone on LOA/SHN secretly sneaked to Mustafa after midnight to shop and spread covid virus to the staff there? Then the FWs brought the virus back to their workplace/dorms. FWs here become the victims. Just like we could have brought the virus from NTUC back home and form a family cluster?
To be fair, v hard to stop FWs going Mustafa as it is like their all-in-one shopping mecca, just like I can’t stop you from going NTUC. Did Mustafa control the number of shoppers on its premises and also ensure safe distancing? The NTUC I frequent is also very packed TBH, no crowd control.
I am also very disappointed to openly declare the decision to rope in SM Teo Chee Hean. This is like slapping our 4G leaders. Cannot help behind the scenes? Why must declare for the whole world to know that without the 3G leaders, our 4G leaders can’t do much? -

I did think of calling the police but was afraid that I might be viewed as making a mountain out of a mole hill. Didn't want to mention race in case I am viewed a racist. I am open and exchange greetings with the adults. My DS1 didn't like it when I greeted them. Wonder why he so unfriendly or racist?
You can try calling 999 but won’t be high priority.lee_yl\" post_id=\"1970605\" time=\"1586431591\" user_id=\"17023:
[quote=tutormum post_id=1970586 time=1586423434 user_id=12573]Does anyone know who should I contact to report those who don't observe the CB? Yesterday, a group of boys was playing soccer at the void deck. Now they are playing outside the corridor to their flat and there are a large group of people in it by the look of the number of shoes outside. These children play at the playground and void deck almost every day. They are creating a din when they kick the ball against the wall. How to live with this for a month? :stupid: :stupid:
Let me share a recent experience. Past midnight one day, one group of Indian Nationals were ragging another Indian near our place, on the open field. More than 10 of them involved which contravened the circuit breaker rules. The group tied up the “victim” and the rest took turns to pour different containers of liquids and white powdery stuff over his head. :torchme:
DH called the police to have them issue a warning to this group. We waited and waited until 12.30am and by then I was so tired that I asked hubby to give the police another call to ask them not to come down. The police receiving the call replied, “OK, thanks!” :slapshead: My goodness!
Kampong Java NPC is only 5 mins away and they could not despatch resources to attend to my call after 30 mins? This is not my first negative experience, I made a police report in August 2019, and for more than half a year, no news was heard from them until I made a big hoo ha then they apologized as the IO forgot to inform me of the outcome of their investigation.
The immediate neighbour has moved out last December and was part of the gang. Occasionally some of the women would pop by and I was fine with it. What I could not stand is the din created by the children who are rather rowdy at times. :sad:[/quote]Same. I also avoid calling 999 as I do not want to be seen as making a mountain out of a mole hill. The last time I called 999 was like a decade ago, when I was driving on CTE and witnessed a motorbike in front of me hit the car rear and was flung away. Luckily my car did not roll over him.
I am not racist but I was really scared. I thought they were pouring petrol over the “victim” whose hands and legs were tied up and wanted to set the poor man on fire. :torchme:
If police has to split team during CB, pls ensure that you can still respond immediately when citizens call for help.

Many stayed at home has driven up the business of food delivery. Isn’t this an irony that we stay safe at home at the expense of others who are ‘running’ from one place to another?

Since January, majority of us did not put on a mask, while over in HK, majority has been wearing a mask. Their schools closed pretty early in January while ours only started closing in April.

Agree?
Back then, I thought we did pretty well, our figures not very far from them.
If not because we did not handle the 1st wave of overseas returnees well, which then resulted in a second wave of community infections. -

I am not worried for Food delivery guys as they can leave the food outside the door. I think they have a higher chance of kena knocked down by cars on the road than kena Covid
