You see what happens when you open your legs to the wrong customer who does not practice safe entry and wear a condom.
Really xia suay.
So much potential business spending lost.
So much needed tourism dollars lost.
All because of a few hundred travellers from India.
Cannot close borders permanently, PAP government said wor.
The manufacturing and construction sectors need the foreign workers wor.
Aren't Singapore's services sector bigger than the manufacturing and construction sector?
Aren't Singaporeans waiting to go back to jobs in the service sector?
Aren't there millions of dollars of revenue from a service sector that can resume full activity?

SINGAPORE - The World Economic Forum (WEF) special annual meeting scheduled to be held in Singapore in August has been postponed to next year.
Organisers cited the uncertain travel outlook and new variants of Covid-19, among others, as reasons.
In a statement on its website on Monday (May 17), the WEF said: "Regretfully, the tragic circumstances unfolding across geographies, an uncertain travel outlook, differing speeds of vaccination rollout and the uncertainty around new variants combine to make it impossible to realise a global meeting with business, government and civil society leaders from all over the world at the scale which was planned."
This is despite the "excellent support" provided by the Government of Singapore, said WEF.
The next annual meeting will instead take place in the first half of 2022. The final location and date will be determined based on an assessment of the situation later this summer, said the statement.
