Serious "We are not returning to a pre-Covid-19 World" - Minister Chan

SINGAPORE: “We are not returning to a pre-COVID-19 world … We must chart a new direction now,” said Trade and Industry Minister Chan Chun Sing on Tuesday (Aug 11), after Singapore announced what he described as its “worst quarterly performance on record”.

Data showed that the Singapore economy had contracted by 13.2 per cent on a year-on-year basis in the April to June quarter, worse than the 12.6 per cent decline seen in the Government’s advance estimate and a sharp deterioration from the 0.3 per cent contraction in the previous quarter.


“To put things in context, this is our worst quarterly performance on record. The forecast for 2020 essentially means the growth generated over the past two to three years will be negated.

“The numbers reflect the impact of COVID-19, as well as deeper forces reshaping the global economy and our position in the global value chains,” said Mr Chan in a press conference.

Bro Chun Sing is wise and resolute. My business model for food catering and F&B has also made changes for the post-covid world. We're stepping up advertising on social media and on takeaways.

"What is the point" in him stating the obvious? Where is the value in his comments? How will his comments contribute to or guide us to improve our productivity in the coming years? Even without his comments, most people and businesses around us have already moved by themselves beyond the shock from Covid-19, and he's still up there talking about Covid-19 as of it's something to be worshipped and held in awe.

Not will be.

Has already been drastically reduced.

But this is current covid situation.

Eventually there will come a time where there is enough herd immunity and no more worry about covid.

And the world will go back to pre-covid 19 days. it is a matter of time.

This is where you see the value of being a big ship eg oil tanker or aircraft carrier. Weather the long storm.

Meanwhile the proud arrogant hip state of the art techno savvy small yacht that says it can maneuver itself in the open sea is finding it hard because this is a LONG AND BIG STORM.

good luck trying to maneuver this one. You just have to sit out the storm. Hope you survive Yacht.
