It took COVID-19 100 DAYS to expose the weak leadership of PAP Politicians
It should be clear that the 10-member Multi-Ministry Taskforce has failed Singapore in not being able to stem the spread of the Coronavirus in the city state of 5.7m people from late Jan till today. They owe all Singaporeans and residents an apology.
With no medical doctor with infectious diseases specialization in the Taskforce, why didn’t the two co-chairman Health Minister Gan Kim Yong and National Development Minister think of mobilizing qualified infectious diseases specialists from the public and private Medical Service sector to help them to put up appropriate measures to contain the virus spread at an early stage? The local medical community is not short of such expertise.
Probably, the Taskforce was meant to be a showcase of 4G leaders put in charge to handle a national crisis with the advantage of the SARS experience and prepare them for the coming Election.
Straits Times (ST) reports back in January about political observers saying that how Singapore’s fourth-generation (4G) leaders handle the Wuhan virus could prove to be the first major test of their teamwork.
While the People’s Action Party (PAP) politicians in the Taskforce are quick to accept any accolades bestowed on Singapore in the early days of the pandemic, they are slow in admitting their failure in the task. Also, don’t expect them to say “sorry” as it is not their political culture.
So the deployment of medial experts came very late. It was only on 22 April that the infectious diseases medical specialists were brought into action through a panel discussion hosted by ST.
For the first time, we heard their views about COVID-19:
