This is the only man I trust to lead us out of the pandemic...

Paul Thambi was not overlooked. He was simply not selected because there are many other talented people in the field on infectious disease. You are biased towards this thambi because he's from the sdp.

Sir John Tan with due respect, you also biased towards OYK, Laulan Wong because they are from PAP.

Many people calling for Prof Paul Thambyah to lead Sinkeepoo's fight agains the pandemic...

Paul Tambyah: We need ‘a sensible plan that actually shows a way out’ of pandemic​

"The handling of the Covid-19 pandemic by the Government’s Multi-Ministerial Task Force has been plagued with a distinct lack of coherence and direction. This has left Singaporeans confused and frustrated."

Singapore — Infectious disease specialist and chairman of the Singapore Democratic Party Paul Tambyah in a Facebook post on Tuesday (Sept 28) was critical of the government’s management of the Covid pandemic, which has made things difficult for Singaporeans.
Dr Tambyah, the president-elect of the International Society for Infectious Diseases, posted an excerpt from SDP’s “Sensible and Foresighted Plan to Exit the Covid Pandemic,” which the party published on its website yesterday.

He included the following:

“THE HANDLING OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC BY THE GOVERNMENT’S MULTI-MINISTERIAL TASK FORCE HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH A DISTINCT LACK OF COHERENCE AND DIRECTION. THIS HAS LEFT SINGAPOREANS CONFUSED AND FRUSTRATED.

The lack of a clear strategy in dealing with the pandemic has also left businesses unable to plan ahead. The reactive nature of the MMTF’s approach in dealing with outbreaks of infections has led to stop-start, on-again/off-again policies which had impacted adversely on both employers and employees.”​

SDP also held a question-and-answer portion on Facebook live, wherein Dr Tambyah said, “We felt that we needed a sensible plan that actually showed a way out.”

Dr Tambyah is part of SDP’s healthcare panel of ten medical professionals who drafted the eight-point plan.
Many commenters praised SDP’s pandemic exit strategy online.

Some commented to say they hope the current MTF will listen and take the different points in the plan into consideration.

Others asked if Dr Tambyah and other qualified people could be part of national decision-making.

One said that the SDP chair should even lead the task force.

SDP has also invited the public to comment on its plan here. /TISG

An prominent oppie who is also a respected infectious disease expert in the midst a global pandemic? How fortunate indeed!

An infectious disease expert is the least appropriate person to manage a pandemic.

The job should go to someone who can balance all the competing demands and not just the medical response.

The job should go to someone who can balance all the competing demands and not just the medical response.

An infectious disease expert WITH a solid plan to balance all the competing demands is the perfect person to manage a pandemic.
