Covid-19 Singapore: Towards A Future Of No Future



The fact is that the millionaire Ministers can afford to play-play with the coronavirus and the lives and health of the people, but we the masses cannot afford to play-play with the coronavirus and our own lives and children's future.

Another fact is that the Multi-Ministry Task force, comprising people who have been on the fast-track of good and easy life all their life, is running out of ideas, patience and competence and two of them are in the running for the position of the 4G Prime Minister. These two factors might have driven them to desperation and despair. During such challenging and demanding time, the pseudo leaders are easily exposed by their inability to hold their nerves and their tendency to give up easily.

Yet another fact is that after spending $100 billion or more, the economy is still not looking good for all of us, though the government has gone ahead to reward the civil service and the Ministers with bonuses based on last quarter's GDP report. So, it is very likely that they could be looking forward to more self-rewards by opening up the economy hastily and prematurely.

Another fact is that their open-and-shut measures in the last 18 months of the Pandemic have made them looked like fools and a laughing stock. So, they could have decided that enough is enough and decide to open up for business once and for all, like the conceited, egoistic psychopath Dotard Trump.

To the Ministers, it is living with the Coronavirus.

To some of us, it is living dangerously with and suffering from the coronavirus.

To yet another group of us, it could be dying, not living, with the coronavirus.

Therefore, it is not so easy to say the new normal is normal. It is, in fact, for all intent and purposes, abnormal!

This new normal is not conceived by new people. It is conceived by the same group of people who has been flip-flopping several times. So how can it be new?

This new normal is not thought out by normal people. It is thought out by extraordinary people. So how can it be normal?

We are, therefore, being led by extraordinary people into an extraordinary situation, whereby we may live or die with the coronavirus. There's no certainty.

Going forward, our future is very doubtful and uncertain. As a people, we may be ostracized as outcasts, being feared everywhere we go, and avoided by others like lepers.

That is the extraordinary situation we shall face in the future of no future.

The world highest paid government can't even do a proper job. SG is so small, the entry points from others countries can be counted on fingertips: Changi airport, Causeway checkpoint, Tuas checkpoint, all cruise harbours, etc. Ha ha, both fishing ports were forgotten until things happened. Normal Singaporeans can be excused for not knowing it, but the government cannot be spared. Suggest government really do a comprehensive preventive measure, look at all possible entry points. Eg like entry point from all islands like Ubin, Tioman, etc.

This Pandemic really shows how incompetent, complacent and shortsighted the overpaid and under worked political leaders.

It's really shameful but usually the shameless will not know that he is shameful.

The fact that they got the cheek to continue to accept and receive the $millions, that they do not deserve, shows them up as thick-skin, unconscionable, shameless people.

The WHO Chief said:

"The pandemic is a test the world is failing.

More than four million people have died and more continue to die.

Already this year the number of deaths is more than double last year’s total.

The threat is not over anywhere until it’s over everywhere.

Anyone who thinks the pandemic is over is living in a fool’s paradise."

The leaders of UK and the stooge of UK, Singapore, are living in a fool's dreamland thinking that they can live with COVID-19.
