STOP HOARDING. START SHARING.
There is more than enough food in #Singapore,
as repeatedly assured by the leadership of PM Lee and our 4G leaders leading
the COVID19 fight. SHARING is a better strategy
now, and for the worst of times if ever they come. If you continued to be more Fearful of dying
from hunger instead of the coronavirus, team up with your neighbours to pool
food and other essential resources to share and look after each other and loved
ones.
Residents Committees and Block
Committees can organise and unite residents in the community through Well-being Hubs networking at the neighbourhood, block or precinct levels to enjoy the
tremendous economics of sharing, especially with the elderly, sick and
vulnerable among us. This innovation
will provide a collective sense of common hope and destiny for the motivation
and sustainability of a United Singapore culture as we emerge victorious from
this COVID19 crisis.

First and foremost, Tell it to yourself and your family and the PAP Grasslooters.
Most importantly, stop hoarding money in your banks.
Start emptying your bank accounts and start sharing.
Also tell that to the millionaire ministers to stop hoarding and start sharing all that money accumulated as obscene salaries and bonuses in their bamks, taken from taxpayers.
Woody for one should not hoard so much money himself and yet still thinks that ministers are not paid enough.
Cutting minister's pay now as an example is not convincing, because Sinkies, though dumb, knows that in good times, all these will be restored retrospectively and with interest.
The 'Circuit Breaker' Story...
Long: Hi Guys. We've got so many people infected by this virus nowadays, what do u suggest?
Kee Chiu: Tell the people Xia Suay lah & they will not come to supermarket to buy stuffs and become infected.
Lau lan: Ai yah people will not follow law especially when they become fatigued after work.
Long: Then how ? The infected cases got up but no down how ah?
Jo: Ask the employers allow employees to telecommuting or else ‘sam ban’ them if workplaces not shut.
Kung: Shut? No need lah, according to experts young people not so vulnerable to infect other leh? Shut schools then parents how? Some students even go to mall jalan jalan or play computer games leh. Juz closed one day school enough liao.
Long: Don’t wear mask if well help or not?
Mark: Boss, we juz follow what the US CDC & WHO mask advisory can liow, ai yah community spread still low mah so no need panic lah.
3weeks later infection crosses a thousands cases with 4 deaths…
Long: Walaueh, jee bai hump liow so many infected cases also some dead so how Gun?
Gun: Boss, suggest we do apply a ‘circuit breaker’ .
Long: So what do u all think?
Lau lan: Boss, steady lah. I agree with Gun, use a circuit breaker to replace the word ‘lockdown’ so that people will not panic.
Long: Ok later I will announce in the TV and radio. Gun, I like that circuit breaker word, u really done a good job lah.
After announcement, long queue at most supermarkets …old habits die hard.
The title of this article is misleading.
It can also mean this:
In order to fight COVID19, one should stop hoarding the coronavirus, and start sharing them with others.
Right. My Mrs just back from Bukit Merah NTUC Mart.
Eggs, chickens etc all sold out.
Many people got the word on Fri noon. I think plenty of leaks from civil service to their family members & grassroots.
Yesterday, after lunch I saw long queues at supermarkets.
Luckily I work from home & able to join the crowds in stocking up more supplies.
Took 1 hour of queuing.
Hoarding Or Not Is A Matter Of Perception And Interpretation
There is no need to queue long at my place. Only two customers ahead of me.
But one customer takes about 7 to 10 minutes, because each had a trolleys load of essential life- survival items.
These are not called hoarding or SHIA SUAY! This is called stocking up. With the announcement of ONE-MONTH LOCKED-DOWN, PEOPLE HAVE TO PREPARE for one-month of circuit-breaking. This is common sense and should be expected.
If you do not expect this to happen as a matter of NEED, you must be sitting too high in the IVORY TOWER and having an easy, fast-track, good life at the expense of taxpayers all your life, since scoring 4 Asses for A-Level Exam at 18 years old.
So, don't be too quick to judge others. Look at yourself first.
And ask yourself this:
Have I got to eat, drink, shit, urinate, bathe, wash hair, wash hands, clean the house, wash the bowls and plates, clean the kitchen, take care of young ones, take care of old folks at home, keep active at home during the one-month (or later extended to two months, then three months like some countries?) locked-down (or circuit-breaker braking break)?
If you don't need to do any of the above, good for you. You must be a comatose laying on the bed with servants and maids at your beck and call. And you must be so filthy rich that you have the means to own machines that can extract your shits and urine out of your body and dispose your waste for you automatically without YOU having to even lay a hand.
YOU MUST BE LIVING IN A DIFFERENT PLANET?
Sometimes, somebody (very often, a busy-body who is also an opportunistic balls-carrier) becomes too smart until he/she has lost his/her COMMON SENSE!
Most people are not that rich. Many live from pay-cheque to pay-cheque. They don't have that kind of excess money to buy things to hoard. So, don't be and idiot to be so quick to point a finger at others - to make use of a few black-sheep to slander all others. In other words, don't be like that arrogant, no-big no-small, ill-mannered, loose-mouth "Shia Suay" Paper General Kee Chiew who has been so quick to label ALL Singaporeans (means include HIMSELF) as "SHIA SUAY" (means Disgraceful)!
If one is quick to point a finger at others, remember three of your own fingers are naturally pointed back at YOU!
So, stop accusing the public for hoarding. The long queue one see anywhere may not depict the picture in one's mistaken mind's eye. It does not state the full facts, nor the full picture!
