I bought from Temasek extra coloured DET30 masks last year, in addition to the free pair.
i do hope the govt continues to give reusable gd quality masks regularly
You can now buy online. The sellers are by no means exhaustive.

I feel that the free Temasek or PA masks should be reserved for lower-income families. The rest of the population who are not hugely affected by CBs should go to any NTUC Unity, Guardian, Watson or medical halls to buy the HSA-approved disposable masks. There are many in the market as compared to one year ago.
We're probably one of the few nanny states in the world that kept giving free masks to citizens. Sometimes I wonder if Ah Gong's being too paternalistic to our citizens. All those free face shields to pre- and primary-school kids were totally wasted.
Japan only gave a pair of reusable masks at the beginning last year. HK distributed once I think. Taiwan gave out fixed quota of disposables but are chargeable. South Korea gave 1 box each pax once last year.
EU standard is EN 14683
In the US, it is ASTM-F2100 LEVEL 3. -
I rather Temasek continue to give us free mask than using the money to carry out some risky investment.
After all, what kind of investment can be better than investing in (or safeguarding) your own people? -

Thank you for sharing! I guess I’m “glad” we had our first power outage .. (albeit nerve racking and lasted 6 over hours) now we have a story to tell our grandchildren lol.[/quote]
Didn't go into detail, but yes, we were perpetually prepared - torches and spare batteries, rechargable lights (so the kids could do their homework!), bottled water, matches (for the gas cooker)... But anyway, it was only a few hours at a time. I don't think we had any longer than 12 hrs, often about 2-3 hrs. Sitting in the dark - we went the old-fashioned way of telling stories, playing chanting/memory games (\"I went to market and bought...\" etc), singing songs, etc. In later years, the power outages became less frequent, and my younger daughter said she missed those evenings sitting in the dark - I think she missed having so much of our attention!
We didn't get a generator as it was expensive and noisy, and not very suitable if you don't live on the ground floor. We just checked that the rechargable lights were recharged periodically.
Most of us had experienced water rationing exercises, power outages & water supply cutoff during our childhood.
Young parents must learn to improvise with whatever you have on hand.
In the old days, men and young boys would go topless at home to stay cool. Women would wear sleeveless/loose-fitting light fabric. Replace duvet with thin bedsheets or towels.
Shower more than once with tap water, or wipe down with wet towel before sleeping. During Phase 2, the public pools & shower are open. Only $1 per entry.
I have a big bag of 100-pc Ikea tealight candles in my storeroom as well as a big box of new Energizer batteries.
I also have 1 torchlight by each person's bedside. Outside my room, I have empty Moroccan lamps and battery-operated night lamps. Some of my neighbours have solar-powered outdoor lightings.
I have battery-operated fans, USB-fans and paper fans too, so no prob.
All our laptops and HP batteries can tahan for many hours. Am sure you own one or two fully-charged power banks by now. Else try to get into the library (within their daily quota) to charge your devices.
7-11 & Cheers sell Tuck Lee Ice. Just go grab a jumbo pack home and guzzle some ice-cold drinks. I have 2 big Coleman cooler boxes at home in case of fridge breakdown. Most supermarkets have free ice at the cashier for patrons to take.
Distilled water (19L) are everywhere in 24h petrol kiosks & n'hood provision shops. I'd used one 600ml distilled water to wash up in the desert and in some rural areas before. Standby wet wipes for different surfaces at home as well.
You should invest in a Japanese clay shichirin or cast iron nabe pot in case your gas got cut off too! Cooking fuel can be purchased online or at Xtra.

So glad I went on outward bound camp / trekking trips when I was younger. :imanangel: -

Investing in investments which generate more returns that a portion of it can buy more masks? lol. -

No doubt. Plus, we can always replace fallen Singaporeans with newly acquired CECA-poreans.

I see you've ordered a bunch of stuff. Just remember that you need to check and recharge them at intervals, otherwise they may not be charged up when you need them. I only have a couple of torches and spare batteries in Singapore as the power outages don't happen often enough here - I haven't experienced one since returning in 2013! And since Singapore doesn't have island-wide power cuts (hopefully!), I reckon that if it gets bad, we will just relocate to someone else's place for a while.[/quote]Exactly! Never tot that there would be a power outage in Singapore. It was totally unplanned and we were caught with nothing useful on hand.

First thing I did was to check our own circuit board, and after confirming with my neighbors that they also didn’t have Power, we called the electricity company. Was told it was a condo problem, sadly it is mismanagement, as far as I know right now. Covid rules also make it harder to move around as a family, no dining out, can’t go to friends place without splitting up.
Fingers crossed it doesn’t happen again anything soon! -
