Reading between the lines, it seems that the top did not set acceptable living conditions in the first place. And even then, a shocking 50% of the operators were still flouting those miserable conditions.

Todayonline commentary:

“The Big Read: Solving S’pore’s foreign workers problem requires serious soul searching, from top to bottom”

The humanitarian organization mentioned that they are pushing for a doubling of the living space per occupant to 9 square metres — equivalent to 10 workers living in a four-room HDB flat.

Come on, Singaporeans! Ten people per 4-room flat is already very uncomfortable. The current legislation allows 20 pax in that same area. That’s totally inhuman![/quote]

After this COVID pandemic, I certainly hope as a country, we review critically our need for FW & look at areas of reduction & work out the sums to accord higher salaries for locals to take up some jobs (in lieu of all extra costs in housing, levies, etc). I agree we shld look more critically into implementing better living conditions & more stringent checks on dorm operators to comply esp with the need to not only build more washroom/toilet facilities but checks on the cleanliness & hygiene level just as NEA checks on our public hygiene & environment.

After spraying Dettol mixed with water on the tableS, keyboard, phones, do I still need to wipe again using a moist cloth?

In Jan this year when the coronavirus outbreak started to unfold, a member of the public Dr Kho Kwang Po wrote to ST Forum wanting to educate the public on the importance of wearing masks.


However, at the time, the government was of the opinion that people should only wear masks if they are ill. They should not be wearing any masks if they are well.

Dr Kho’s letter was published under ‘Forum: Excerpts from readers’ letters‘ in a short paragraph on 24 Jan:

WEAR MASKS TO FIGHT VIRUS

Now that the potentially fatal Wuhan virus is spreading, it is a good time to educate the public to wear a mask when they have a cough to prevent the spread of viruses.

This should be strictly enforced on all forms of transport, especially airlines. The virus is spread by droplets, so masks will reduce its transmission.

Healthcare personnel who are constantly exposed to risks should definitely do this.

Kho Kwang Po (Dr)

Reading the ST Forum letter from Dr Kho would have given the impression to readers that he supported the government’s call to wear masks only when one is ill, and if one is well, he should not be wearing any masks.

Dr Kho: ST edited my letter to make it look like I supported the ‘no mask if not sick’ advice

Today (10 May), Dr Kho broke his silence revealing on his Facebook page for the first time that actually Straits Times edited out a crucial sentence which altered the main point of his letter.

As far back as Jan, Dr Kho was actually advocating that people should wear masks regardless if one is ill or not.

“Straits Times forum has the bad habit of editing letters to reflect or confirm their own or govt’s stance on various issues… like mask usage,” Dr Kho lamented.

“They edited my letter to make it look like I supported the ‘no mask if not sick’ advice of the govt. This is completely deplorable and irresponsible.”

This is beyond my u’stand’g! Hope someone can shed light on what chemical has been used?

I don’t like to eat out & nvr bought buns or artisan bread fr bakeries mainly bcoz of the ovalet they use. I’ve been baking my own bread & now hubby picking up the skill with me.

Over the years, we’ve seen what some restaurant/cafe outlets hv used for cleaning their premises for the spick & span Look & achieve that perfect & presentable shop presence. I’ve once openly & directly questioned a Swenson staff the use of clorox sprayed onto the table vacated next to mine when out for a meal with my bz contact. They apologized but that incident impressed a nvr wipeout abhorence even as I share this.

Also beyond my understanding. If the idea is to disinfect the display shelves, then must move out all the bread on the shelves first mah.. unless the disinfectant is certified safe for human consumption, lol.

I recall one of the NTUC Finest stores shut down for a day to disinfect. Just curious, was the process also something similar, like spray disinfectant on the displayed goods. Haha.

Haha.[/quote]I certainly do not hope they spray over the uncovered bread. Isn’t there a volunteer group go round collecting unsold bread for homes on a daily basis? If these are sprayed over, I certainly hope they’re not distributed to any nursing homes or children’s home. Hope they treat every lives with dignity. Having said so, I’m also doubtful cake shops discard or give away unsold cakes as I’ve seen many in chillers at the end of day not removed & staff just locked up.

I certainly hope they’re safe over food esp exposed food. Nevertheless, it’s still unsettling to my ignorant belief, even tho I’m very aware for example my condo change fr using mosquito spray to mosquito misting which was claimed to be harmless & Eco-frdly.
