The medal is awarded to those who are willing to bend down and let the govt to do whatever they want to their ass. Since this one bend until so diligently and assuring and a great example of a good Singaporean, he was awarded the medal...... and then death.
Ironically, those who show the govt the middle finger during covid and vaccine period ( like me) tends to outlive everyone who took the vaccine. Isn't this a big clue that personal sovereignty is the right way to go in being a human being both in physicality and in spirit.
