The government is entitled to congratulate themselves because they do an outstanding job in all aspects of governance.
When the pandemic arrived they prioritized the response to ensure that Singaporeans were taken care of first and foremost and the fact that the people that matter most have been virtually unscathed by Covid-19 speaks volumes of the government's ability and foresight.
The dorms do not house Singaporeans. They are there to cater to an expendable workforce that the electorate does not want to see nor hear except when necessary. They therefore do not deserve the same care and attention that Singaporeans receive.
In this day and age of political correctness and virtue signaling it is regrettable that the dorm cases cannot be simply be swept under the carpet which is actually the right thing to do since these workers are not part of Singapore.
Reporting the numbers which include dorm cases may be necessary from a diplomatic viewpoint but it serves no other purpose. If I was part of the cabinet I would take the stance that covid-19 cases among the foreign worker population was a confidential matter as disclosure would threaten national security and our sovereignty.
