      Looks like it has come to pass...
      Yes

      lockdown until 1 June means

      extend by 4 more weeks, into entire month of May,

      followed by 1 month school holiday (No HBL inside June )

      can only go back to school after June holiday over, in Term 3 July

        Wonder whether kids need to shorten their June hols and go back to sch? ( a bit worried cos DD is taking PSLE this yr)

        PSLE papers set already right?

        Maybe MOE can consider to bring forward June Holiday to 1st May?

        Which means after 1st June, school resumes.

        PSLE to take place in end November. End of year holiday shorten to just 1 month - Dec.

        Is good that postpone PSLE to end of Nov, give P6 students more time to prepare, rather than no PSLE at all.

        Look at Malaysia,
        they scrapped their P6 students National exam totally. Want to take National exam UPSR, also cannot take

              I guess P6 should have many zoom or google meet for chers to deliver lessons. It just crosses my mind if the kids will have any backlog in learning new things or not … for lower pri, my impression was they watch some online stuffs then do some qns…new concepts/topics also like that mah? I m not so sure tho… if 1 mth hbl can ‘simply’ but 2 mths quite difficult yeah…

                  Dessert & bubble tea stores taken off list of essential services


                  Bad news, bubble tea fans.

                  The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) has updated the list of essential food and beverage outlets after the Multi-Ministry Taskforce press conference on Apr. 21.

                  A number of food manufacturers and food outlets, mostly snack and dessert-based, will no longer be considered essential services.

                        Coronavirus: June school holidays to start from May 5 to cover extended circuit breaker period, says Ong Ye Kung


                        SINGAPORE - The mid-year school holidays will start earlier from May 5 to cover the entire extended circuit breaker until June 1, Education Minister Ong Ye Kung said on Tuesday (April 21).

                        \"By 1 Jun 2020, hopefully the situation will be much better, and we can look forward to a safe and orderly opening of schools,\" he said in a Facebook post.
