Former DJ Jade Rasif publicly shares conversations, email correspondence with MOM to clarify her version of story on MDW’s quarantine orders - The Online Citizen Asia
In an attempt to provide better clarifications in the case of questionable quarantine orders received by a migrant domestic worker (MDW), former Singaporean DJ and model Jade Rasif took to Instagram on Thursday evening (20 May) to publicly share phone conversations, WhatsApp messages and email correspondence with officials from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) and others.She shared these exchanges to point out that her version of the story is not inaccurate, contrary to what MOM had earlier claimed in its press release.
This saga started earlier this week (16 May) when Ms Rasif, who is currently a full-time healthcare worker, revealed in a series of Instagram Stories that her MDW, an Indonesian national, was sent back home after observing only three to four days of quarantine period at a quarantine centre.
However, the MDW was asked to test for COVID-19 two weeks after her release, and her test results came out positive. She was subsequently sent to a quarantine centre.
Ms Rasif also noted that she and her family were not given any quarantine orders (QOs) though they were a close contact of the helper.
Additionally, Ms Rasif also said that two police officers called her to investigate for violating QO, which she claimed she had not received.
Responding to this, MOM released a press statement on Monday (17 May) stating that the former model’s account was “inaccurate” and that her MDW has been “assessed to be free from current COVID infection and had not posed a risk to her employer’s family”.
Disagreeing with MOM’s response, Ms Rasif wrote in the comment section of the Ministry’s post, stating that she stands by her original version of the story. She also noted that she has all the evidence to prove her account, and would be happy to pass them to the Ministry to help them with their investigations.
Later on Tuesday (18 May), the former DJ revealed in another Instagram Story that MOM had allegedly “apologised and admitted that their press release was inaccurate, and made without sufficient research”, after looking at the evidence presented by Ms Rasif.
She added, “I have extended the opportunity for us to re-release a joint statement to reveal the truth to the public.”
However, there has so far been no official statement from MOM to apologise over the press release alleging Ms Rasif’s account being inaccurate. TOC has also written to MOM if it will issue a correction statement to clarify the matter but has not received a response so far.
MOM started “beef” with Ms Rasif
In Thursday’s Instagram Stories, Ms Rasif started off by stating the MOM started “beef” with her by calling her story inaccurate and mentioning her name in its press release.She added that MOM is the one to be blamed if it ends up looking bad in the eye of the public for the mess it created with the quarantine orders.
To explain her side of the story, Ms Rasif shared a WhatsApp conversation with a manager from MOM who asked her to take down her posts, presumably the ones that mentioned that MOM has admitted its error.
The manager asked her to do so as the Ministry is still working on releasing a joint statement to clarify and address its errors.
As a reply, Ms Rasif wrote: “I can change it? But it’s accurate to what we discussed. I just wanted to provide an update/holding statement while waiting”, adding that the officer had then ghosted her for two days without providing any updates.
Separately, in response to MOM’s claim that Ms Rasif was investigated by the police for breaching quarantine orders, the former model shared another phone conversation she had with an officer from MOM who clearly said that they had not received any updates from the police before making its claim in the press statement.
She also disclosed a phone conversation she had with a police officer who said that she was just part of a preliminary investigation and not an actual investigation.
Seeking clarification for the above point raised by MOM in its statement, an officer from MOM said in his conversation with Ms Rasif that they still clarifying with the Ministry of Health (MOH) on this issue.
He added that there have been some changes in the current operation procedures, and this is why there has been no case number given to Ms Rasif’s domestic helper after she tested positive for COVID-19.
“Even if there’s a great explanation for the missing case numbers, don’t say you’ll set out the facts when a full day after publishing your statement, you still have no facts! You’re both managers and you don’t have the facts,” she wrote in her Instagram Story.
He also went on to apologise for releasing a statement with no proper explanation on what had actually happened.
Ms Rasif wrote: “It’s ok to not know, but implying that I’m inaccurate and you’re stating ‘facts’ is just weird. Even if this was true, you didn’t know it was true when you said it.”
“Are u worried that managers at MOM, in charge of quarantining thousands of workers have no idea what the SOP was and didn’t bother to learn till an influencer asked?
“I just didn’t say it until the Ministry of Manpower started beefing with me on Facebook,” Ms Rasif wrote.
No response from email correspondence
The social media personality also shared screenshots of an email exchange she had with MOM where she furnished them with all the necessary information that they wanted to carry out its investigation against an ambulance driver who allegedly was rude to her.She submitted all the details and evidence to them on 6 May but did not receive any reply from MOM after that.
However, in MOM’s statement on 18 May, it said that MOM has reached out to Ms Rasif about the complaint, but is still waiting for the former model to send them the details.

Timeline of Jade Rasif’s MDW quarantine saga with Ministry of Manpower

Former Singaporean DJ and model Jade Rasif took to Instagram to share the terrible experience she had with COVID-19 quarantine orders relating to her new domestic helper who arrived from Indonesia, and the lack of communication from the authorities on what to do.
Here’s a rundown of what has transpired thus far:
16 May: Jade Rasif shared how her helper was discharged early from SHN before being re-quarantined, family not given SHN
On 16 May, Ms Rasif shared on her Instagram that she had earlier paid S$2,500 for her domestic helper to be quarantined for 14 days upon arrival from Indonesia, as per the current safety procedures for incoming travellers.But after just three to four days, Ms Rasif received a call from the quarantine centre telling her that she has 12 hours to pick up the domestic helper from the centre and take her home.
They informed Ms Rasif that the migrant domestic worker had recovered from COVID-19 and doesn’t need to be quarantined anymore.
“We were like… Umm I think y’all should quarantine her?! The person on the phone said ‘Oh she’s recovered from COVID, so it’s chill”, Ms Rasif recalled in her post.
“And we were like.. Ok y’all are the Government so y’all know best. Not questioning the guy was the biggest mistake of my life guys,” she went on.
Since the authorities has cleared the helper, the Indonesian woman went about her life and had gone out to visit places in Singapore, said Ms Rasif.
Two weeks later, however, Ms Rasif received a phone call informing her that her helper needed to be tested for the virus again. The test came back positive and the helper was picked up by an ambulance and taken to a quarantine centre.
Ms Rasif said she wasn’t sure what she was supposed to do next, whether she should quarantine given that she is a close contact.
She also noted her surprise that the authorities had not asked her or her family to be quarantined or observe any Stay-Home Notice. Still, to be safe, Ms Rasif decided to update her colleagues, friends, and family on the situation with her helper either way.
“But no I am free to roam the streets. No quarantine, No SHN. Ok so I contact my colleagues, family and friends, and I’m like sorry my maid has COVID-19 and is in quarantine. And we are all losing our minds. We have no one to call, no one to talk to, no number,” she wrote.
Two days later, trying to figure out what to do and with no one to contact, Ms Rasif got in touch with the ambulance driver who had picked up her helper. However, the woman replied with profanity and was of no help.
At this point, Ms Rasif decided to self-quarantine but she had to appear in court for a case.
“So I let the court know my maid has COVID-19. They’re like… Do you have proof? No. A letter? No. A WhatsApp? No,” she wrote.
After that, she was surprised again when she received two phone calls from the police who were investigating her for violating a quarantine order.
She stressed, “A quarantine order I was never given.”
Feeling guilty about possibly putting people at risk, and being investigated by the police for a quarantine order that she was never given, Ms Rasif then forked out another S$200 per person for her family to be voluntarily tested for COVID-19 since the authorities hadn’t done so.
Soon after, Ms Rasif received a call from the quarantine centre saying that her helper was indeed positive for COVID-19 but was non-infectious and asymptomatic and that she would have to be quarantined for three weeks.
Ms Rasif also noted her surprise when she knew that her helper, though tested positive for the virus, had not been assigned a case number.
Her family’s tests results came back negative for the virus and that her helper was discharged after serving the quarantine period.
She added that everyone in her family had been vaccinated except for her toddler son.
17 May: MOM claims Ms Rasif’s account is “inaccurate”
Just a day after Ms Rasif’s posts went online, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) in a Facebook post on Monday (17 May), dismissed Ms Rasif’s story and said that her account is inaccurate“Ms Jade’s account however is inaccurate and we would like to set out the facts.” wrote MOM.
It said that the helper had been “assessed to be free from current COVID infection and had not posed a risk to her employer’s family”.
MOM further mentioned that the helper arrived in Singapore on 11 April, and was tested on arrival. They said the polymerase chain reaction test was negative while the serology test was positive, which informed their assessment.
The helper was then assessed to be safe and was discharged from SHN on 13 April.
The statement went on to say that the MOM and the Ministry of Health (MOH) had decided to test the helper again “because of the worsening COVID-19 situation and new understanding of the infectiousness of variants of concern in the region” and they “wanted to be sure”.
MOM noted that further assessment was needed to confirm that the MDW’s later positive PCR test was not a re-infection but rather an indication of an old infection.
MOM also clarified that the reason the helper was not assigned a case number after having tested positive for COVID-19 was that the clinical assessment was still ongoing.
The ministry said: “From our experience, most recovered individuals who test positive on PCR do so because they are shedding dead viral fragments from an old infection and are not active COVID-19 infections. Only the latter would require a case number.”
The MOM also noted that the family could go ahead with their daily activities as the helper’s infection remained low.
As to Ms Rasif’s claim that she was investigated for breaching quarantine orders (QO), MOM said since the family was not under QO anyway, an investigation could not have been done.
They also disputed Rasif’s claim that she didn’t have anyone to contact about her helper’s situation. MOM said that both it and MOH had contacted the helper’s employer—identified only as Ms Rasif’s family member—on two occasions, 5 and 6 May.
The first contact was an email from MOM to inform the family that the MDW needed further assessment to determine if she tested positive on the PCR test because of a current or old infection. They noted that MOM’s contact numbers were included in the email.
The second contact on 6 May was a phone call to verbally explain to the family the need for further tests to be done on the helper.
MOM said the helper was assessed on 9 May to be shedding dead viral fragments, was recovered from an old infection and was not currently infectious. She was determined to be medically fit for discharge and was returned to her employer.
The ministry said it has reached out to Ms Rafi’s family when it received an email from her/family on the complaint made against the ambulance driver and added that it hopes to receive more details that will enable the ministry to assist the family with the complaint.
17 May: Ms Rasif counters MOM’s claims, offers evidence for her story
On MOM’s post that same day, Ms Rasif called out the Ministry for certain inaccuracies in its post including the dates they have stated which she claims do not match the ones printed on the movement order that was issued to her.Ms Rasif said that the helper did test positive initially and served two days of SHN before being discharged to the family.
She also noted that she did in fact receive two phone calls from the police who were investigating her for breaching QO. She offered to provide MOM information so they could look into it further.
In her comment, Ms Rasif also said that she has a letter indicating the dates MOM took her helper in for quarantine, which was days before 5 May when MOM claimed it had emailed the family to say that more tests were needed. She said she had also called MOM and other agencies on 2, 3, and 4 May.
Again, she offered to show MOM the quarantine order for her helper which shows the date her helper was taken in.
18 May: Ms Rasif says MOM apologised
The next day on 18 May, Ms Rasif shared on Instagram stories that she has spoken to MOM and “presented receipts”. She noted that the MOM has “apologised and admitted that their press release was inaccurate, and made without sufficient research” after looking into the evidence she handed them.She added, “I have extended the opportunity for us to re-release a joint statement to reveal the truth to the public.”
20 May: Ms Rasif shares emails, messages, and phone calls with MOM and police to prove her story
In an attempt to provide better clarifications regarding the case, Ms Rasif went on Instagram on Thursday (20 May) to share evidence of phone calls, text messages and emails she exchanged with the MOM.She noted that she shared these exchanges to point out that her version of the story is not inaccurate, contrary to what MOM had earlier claimed in its press release.
MOM manager admits to the error via WhatsApp message
Ms Rasif first shared a WhatsApp conversation with a manager from MOM who asked her to take down her posts, presumably the ones that mentioned that MOM has admitted its error. The manager asked her to do so as the Ministry is still working on releasing a joint statement to clarify and address its errors.
As a reply, Ms Rasif wrote: “I can change it? But it’s accurate to what we discussed. I just wanted to provide an update/holding statement while waiting”, adding that the officer had then ghosted her for two days without providing any updates.
MOM did not receive update from police about investigation; Police officer confirms that Ms Rasif was under “preliminary investigation”
Separately, in response to MOM’s claim that Ms Rasif could not have been investigated by the police for breaching quarantine orders as no QO was issued, the former model shared another phone conversation she had with an officer from MOM who clearly said that they had not received any updates from the police before making its claim in the press statement.
She also disclosed a phone conversation she had with a police officer who said that she was just part of a preliminary investigation and not an actual investigation.
MOM still waiting on MOH clarification on case number issue
Seeking clarification on why her helper had not been assigned a case number after testing positive, Ms Rasif shared a phone call she had with the MOM manager who said that they were still clarifying with the Ministry of Health (MOH) on this issue.
He added that there have been some changes in the current operation procedures, and this is why there has been no case number given to Ms Rasif’s domestic helper after she tested positive for COVID-19.
“Even if there’s a great explanation for the missing case numbers, don’t say you’ll set out the facts when a full day after publishing your statement, you still have no facts! You’re both managers and you don’t have the facts,” she wrote in her Instagram Story.
He also went on to apologise for releasing a statement with no proper explanation on what had actually happened.
No response from MOM on complaint about ambulance driver
In MOM’s statement on 18 May, it said that MOM has reached out to Ms Rasif about the complaint, but is still waiting for the former model to send them the details.
The social media personality, however, shared screenshots of an email exchange she had with MOM where she furnished them with all the necessary information that they wanted to carry out its investigation against an ambulance driver who allegedly was rude to her.
She said she submitted all the details and evidence to them on 6 May but did not receive any reply from MOM after that.
21 May: MOM yet to publicly apologise or rectify earlier statement
As of 21 May, however, it appears that the MOM has yet to come out with a statement, joint or otherwise, to clarify the error it had made.MOM’s original FB post on 17 May disputing Ms Rasif’s account of the incident has not be updated to reflect the error either.
TOC understands from Ms Rasif that the balance SHN fee was not returned but she was later told during the phone conversation with MOM officers that she can apply for the refund. Ms Rasif, however, pointed out that this was a minor issue and that she had told the MOM officers that she did not want a refund.
TOC has also written in to MOM, asking if the ministry will be issuing a clarification with regards to the statement made on Ms Rasif’s story. No response has been received so far.

Communism at work.
Make a mistake or error. Never ever admit it's your mistake. Dig up any evidence to show you are not wrong.
Hopefully the citizen does not save any evidence of your error. Blame it on the citizens. If the citizens does not play along, send in the police. It's a hint of a threat, and of how much trouble can be thrown at the citizen.
The Communist Party is never wrong.

Selective shortened COVID-19 quarantine period has been in force since early 2021 - The Online Citizen Asia
过去五年 四成上班族曾遭性骚扰！仅30%受害者举报
The recent saga involving former DJ Jade Rasif and the terrible experience she had with COVID-19 quarantine orders has revealed some loopholes in the Government’s quarantine orders for those arriving in Singapore.
Earlier this week, Ms Rasif disclosed that her new domestic worker, an Indonesia national, was only asked to serve three to four days of her quarantine period at a quarantine centre after arriving in the country. This is despite the fact that Ms Rasif had paid S$2,500 for her helper to observe the full 14 days quarantine, as required by the Government.
In response to a query from TOC, the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) said that FDWs with a recent travel history to higher-risk countries/regions will have to take an on-arrival serology test.
This protocol was implemented starting 5 February 2021, said MOH Quality Service Manager Yasmin Nisha.
The on-arrival serology test will be done in addition to the on-arrival polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test requirement that has been in place since 24 January this year.
“The additional on-arrival serology test will allow for the identification of workers who have recovered from an old COVID-19 infection and have antibodies,” said MOM.
“They can therefore be released from SHN.”
As for FDWs who have been vaccinated, it was noted that they will still be subject to prevailing border measures and Stay-Home Notice (SHN) requirements.
MOH said back then in its 5 Mar reply, “With regards to vaccinated individuals, while there is evidence that COVID-19 vaccines are effective in preventing symptomatic disease, the extent of their ability in preventing transmission to others is still being studied.
“MOH is actively monitoring the vaccine situation, including studies on the effectiveness of vaccines in reducing transmission risk.
“As these studies are still ongoing, all travellers, including those who have undergone vaccination, will continue to be subject to prevailing border measures and SHN requirements. We will review these requirements as more information on vaccine effectiveness becomes available.”
Foreign participants of sporting event exempted from full 14 days SHN
Besides FDWs, visitors from overseas who are attending major events are also exempted from the full 14 days quarantine for unknown reasons.
In March 2021, Dota 2 teams who were participating in the first Major had expressed their dissatisfaction and provisions in place for the tournament, which was held in Singapore from 27 March to 4 April.
Gaming news site AFKGaming reported on 10 March that caster and gaming content creator Shannon “SUNSfan” Scotten said most teams from the commonwealth of independent states (CIS), Southeast Asia, North America, and South America hoped that the One Esports Singapore Major was cancelled.
The teams noted that they had issues with the 48-hour quarantine requirement in place for the participants, which is not the usual 14-days quarantine that most countries have adopted for in-bound traveller since the COVID-19 pandemic.
SUNSfan noted that this shorter quarantine period could potentially increase the risk of virus transmission given how short the time frame is, and the fact that player could already be infected before arriving or become infected on the way to Singapore.
Though, both hosts of the podcast did also say that it was difficult to determine if the issues on regulation and other protocols—such as staggered arrivals for teams and a lack of PCs leaving some teams with insufficient time to practice before the matches—are due to the pandemic or the organisers.
The duo acknowledged that they knew little of Singapore’s pandemic protocols.
In another sporting event, four men who arrived in Singapore last month to participate in a ONE Championship mixed martial arts event have tested positive for COVID-19.
These men arrived from Brazil, Canada and Serbia, and was included in the Ministry of Health’s (MOH) daily COVID-19 cases on 5 April.
“One foreign participant who was on the same flight as one of these individuals also tested positive for COVID-19,” said ONE in response to Channel News Asia’s queries, noting that the individual was isolated after arriving in Singapore.
However, ONE did not specify where the fourth person travelled from.
According to Ministry of Health’s (MOH) data, the three men, identified as Cases 61571, 61577 and 61578 arrived in Singapore on short-term visit passes “to participate in a sporting event”.
MOH also added that another man who arrived from Canada and was tested positive for the coronavirus, is a contact of Case 61577.
ONE Championship revealed that all four participants tested negative for COVID-19 before flying into Singapore.
“As part of the stringent protocols for foreign participants, they were placed in isolation upon arrival,” it added.
However, one of the men has been discharged from hospital after his serological test result came back positive, indicating that it was most likely a past infection, said ONE Championship.
“As an added precaution, he had undergone a (polymerase chain reaction) test on Apr 6 and tested negative for COVID-19. As such, he will be allowed to participate in the event.”
“In line with ONE’s protocols and the Singapore Government’s regulations, all foreign and local-based athletes and cornermen must be isolated until they receive a negative test result, after which they will follow a strictly controlled itinerary that has been pre-approved.
“Public health and safety remain our top priority. We will continue to work with the Singapore Government to ensure the safety of our athletes, crew and community,” said ONE Championship.
However, it would seem that other athletes who were tested negative, were allowed to compete on 7 April without serving 14 days of quarantine.
And these are just some of the examples that are publicly known.
As one can see, the quarantine orders of 14 days were not enforced strictly as what many thought it to be.

Jade Rasif say MOM should have fact-checked before calling her account inaccurate

MOM extends apology to Jade Rasif for its possible portrayal of her presenting an inaccurate account in its 17 May statement - The Online Citizen Asia
The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has extended its apology to former DJ and model Jade Rasif in its latest press statement as what can be said to be closure in the saga between Ms Rasif and MOM over varying accounts of Ms Rasif’s migrant domestic worker (MDW)’s quarantine order.
In the update on its Facebook page, MOM said that the ministry has reached out to Ms Rasif on Saturday (22 May) to see how they can address her unhappiness over its press statement on 17 May so as to bring matters to a closure.
It pointed out that Ms Rasif had left a comment in response to its 17 May FB post sharing that she had received two phone calls from the Police on being investigated for breaching a Quarantine Order.
“We understand that the Police have since clarified with Ms Rasif on the purpose of their calls, and that she is not being investigated for any breach of Quarantine Orders.” wrote MOM.
MOM in its 17 May post had said, “Ms Jade claimed to have been investigated for breach of quarantine. The family were not issued Quarantine Orders (QO), and there could not have been investigations made for breach of quarantine, when no QO was issued in the first place.”
The ministry further noted that the use of the word “inaccurate” and one of the points in its 17 May FB post could have portrayed Ms Rasif to be providing an inaccurate account on the Quarantine Order investigation.
“We note that the use of the word “inaccurate” and one of the points in our 17 May FB post could have portrayed Ms Rasif to be providing an inaccurate account on the Quarantine Order investigation. She shared with us that this had affected her negatively. We would like to extend our apologies to her for this.”
The ministry said it would therefore retract this point and redact the word “inaccurate” in its 17 May FB post.
In addition, it will also retract a point which stated that MOM had reached out to her family on the complaint made against the ambulance driver.
As for how its officers handled the phone call with Ms Rasif on 18 May, MOM acknowledged that its officers could have done better and been more tactful in addressing Ms Rasif’s questions.
“We assured her that we will improve on this aspect of communicating with our customers.”
MOM ended by stating that it will conduct an internal review of our communications and service delivery processes.
Background of saga
For those who are not aware, Ms Rasif shared on her Instagram on 16 May about her traumatising experience over her MDW’s quarantine order where her MDW was tested positive for COVID-19 after being released from quarantine just three days after arrival instead of the full 14 days.Ms Rasif noted how the MDW had gone around visiting Singapore before being told she was tested positive and picked back to stay at the quarantine centre.
She also noted her surprise that the authorities had not asked her or her family to be quarantined or observe any Stay-Home Notice.
Just a day after Ms Rasif’s posts went online, MOM in a Facebook post on 17 May, dismissing Ms Rasif’s story and said that her account is inaccurate.
On the same day, Ms Rasif called out the Ministry for certain inaccuracies in its post including the dates they have stated which she claims do not match the ones printed on the movement order that was issued to her.
A day later, Ms Rasif shared that she has spoken to MOM and “presented receipts”. She noted that the MOM has “apologised and admitted that their press release was inaccurate, and made without sufficient research” after looking into the evidence she handed them.
She added, “I have extended the opportunity for us to re-release a joint statement to reveal the truth to the public.”
In an attempt to provide better clarifications regarding the case, Ms Rasif went on Instagram on Thursday (20 May) to share evidence of phone calls, text messages and emails she exchanged with the MOM.
She noted that she shared these exchanges to point out that her version of the story is not inaccurate, contrary to what MOM had earlier claimed in its press release.
MOM should be taking to task and get the department or in-charged or relevant employees punished for not performing their duties but instead applying bullying tactics to cover their arses, abusing power and authoritarian rights to slam down commoners! imagine if this slutty jade is just anoteh brainless bimbo . . . she would be charged for POFMA and even attracted unnecessary enforcements against her - this is how communism sillypore works these days!
question is . . . . shall this matter put to rest with no one held for responsibilities on the devastated mistakes made, and no accountability from the million dollar gahmen instrumentally causing the whole nation into lockdown??? they enforce law and punishments but instead slack among themselves???
wtf is this? this country is worst than autocratic, practices communistic, and yet nailing the commoners with bully tactics!!!
slutty jade should run campaigns for petition to take actions against MOM, drive this into parliamentary debate against punishable actions against the bosses !
