Sinkies (and most Asians) are believers in 'mandate of heaven' or 'don't rock the boat'.
There would be riots on the streets in angmoh countries for lesser things e.g. Tracetogether surveillance. Here, it's the 'new normal', but the pappies sneakily use the word 'endemic' to make you accept it as a long-term lifestyle.
It's illegal to protest in Singapore. But if want to do so, can apply for a permit. Can try. Hahaha

Me thinks Singaporeans will lobby in droves to show support for this "no vax...no deal".
protest as " a beautiful sight to behold" ; just like Pelosi did when praising the US and Taiwan sponsored HK rioters.
There is no sneakiness to make COVID an endemic disease in Sinkeepoo. They have announced it everywhere. That is the plan and it is a forward-thinking one.Sinkies (and most Asians) are believers in 'mandate of heaven' or 'don't rock the boat'.

Correction... for every 1 protestor there are thousands more who choose life and science. Canada has 70% of its population vaccinated.
Singapore will open up in a big way come Aug 21.
Anti-vaxxers can remain locked up at home and watch us on the news leading a normal life. More and more industries will mandate vaccination and anti-vaxxers will wonder how they can keep their jobs and live from hand to mouth
Meanwhile some of them will hope a miracle drug like ivermectin will appear and save them from the devastation of mRNA. But alas it never came and they die from delta covid and disappear from the face of the Earth, and we all live happily ever after

to apply for permit to protest is an insult to your personal sovereignty.
Farking TS peddling in fake news again. The real reason Gladys Berejiklian resigned was because of her relationship with Daryl Maguire.

In her own words, Gladys Berejiklian said her resignation "could not happen at a worse time".
So why is she doing it?
It comes down to a few things and one of them is NSW's all-powerful corruption watchdog.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) on Friday announced it was investigating whether Ms Berejiklian breached public trust when she awarded grants to several community organisations in the NSW Riverina region between 2012 and 2018.

The extraordinary revelation came as the state braces for its most challenging months in terms of COVID-19 hospitalisations and begins the process of emerging from lockdown.
This is what the ICAC is, and why it's investigating Ms Berejiklian.
In this instance, the watchdog will examine whether there was a conflict between Ms Berejiklian's public duties and private interests when she was in a relationship with former Liberal MP, Daryl Maguire.

Specifically, the ICAC will scrutinise grant funding awarded or promised to the Australian Clay Target Association and the Riverina Conservatorium of Music in Wagga Wagga, when Mr Maguire was the local member.
It will also investigate whether Ms Berejiklian engaged in conduct that "involved the dishonest or partial exercise of any of her official functions" or if she refused to "exercise her duty to report any matter she suspected may concern corrupt conduct" concerning the activities of Mr Maguire.
These questions will be the subject of a public inquiry which will commence later this month.
The program also revealed Mr Maguire had written to Ms Berejiklian asking for her assistance to fund the project.
The grant was approved from the Regional Growth Environment and Tourism Fund in August 2017.
A NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into government grants earlier this year also heard Ms Berejiklian announced $20 million for the Riverina Conservatorium of Music during the 2018 Wagga Wagga by-election, sparked by the resignation of Mr Maguire.
The money was to continue work on an already committed $10 million for the facility's redevelopment.

It has prompted questions as to Ms Berejiklian's role in facilitating grants in Mr Maguire's electorate and whether she declared a personal conflict of interest during the process.
Ms Berejiklian confirmed her relationship with Mr Maguire during an ICAC hearing last year.
Mr Maguire resigned after he admitted to a separate inquiry that he had sought payment over a property deal.
The ICAC is also investigating whether Mr Maguire used his position to "improperly gain benefit for himself" and his associates.
Ms Berejiklian has denied being involved in any corrupt dealings.
Former New South Wales Premier Gladys Berejiklian's personal approval ratings soared as she led her state through bushfires and a global pandemic, but it was during the times that she was most under pressure that she showed her inner steel.

She said she would step down as soon as a by-election could be held.
While speculation has already begun on who will fill that role, all eyes will be on the ICAC investigation, dubbed 'Operation Keppel.'
The public inquiry is expected to run for 10 days from Monday, October 18 for the purpose of gathering further evidence.
A witness list will be published in the next few weeks.
Given COVID-19 restrictions, the proceedings will be conducted remotely via video link and live streamed.
Upon conducting the inquiry, the ICAC will publish a report to Parliament detailing its findings and any recommendations.
Ironically Liberal Premier Nick Greiner, who was responsible for creating the ICAC, was found guilty by the body in 1992 for appointing a fellow Liberal MP to a senior public service position to regain a safe seat. The Court of Appeal later overturned the findings.
In 2014, Liberal Premier Barry O'Farrell resigned after falsely denying to ICAC he had received a bottle of wine from an associate of Labor power-broker Eddie Obeid — whose own shady exploits have been well-documented by the corruption watchdog along with former Labor minister Ian Macdonald.
