The Covid19 pandemic has taken a big toll on the growth of Singapore's economy and population. Thought the population of the citizens still remain the same, the population of residents has declined and the twin impact would be missing the 6m or 10m population target and the lack of foreign talents to support the growth of its economy.
With the living with Covid19 policy in full bloom, and also the introduction of VTL, though sabotaged by some European countries and Indonesia, more foreign talents can be seen forming queues to come into this paradise island to help Singapore growing again.
The latest from CNA, 'SINGAPORE: Singapore's vaccinated travel lane (VTL) with India will start on Nov 29, with six designated flights daily from Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai, said the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) on Sunday (Nov 21).'
6 flights a day, if each flight were to bring in 200 foreign talents, that would be 1,200 daily, 12,000 in every 10 days or 36,000 per month, statistically. How many would it be in a year?
And the construction industry too would be very happy as more construction workers would likely to follow suit and the building of more flats could proceed as before. The only concern is that more of the remaining plots of little forests would be cut down and the sambar deer and wild boars and other wildlife would have no place to hide and multiply.
Overall it is good for the economy with more buzz and ommphs and more money to be made in building more homes for sale. And among the foreigners coming in there must be a few that could become ministers and PMs in the future when they take up citizenship. The quality of our ministers and possibly PM could only be better.
With VTL, quite safe to let in more vaccinated people, especially those vaccinated with 96% efficacy vaccines from US and Europe. Anyone setting up vaccination certificates for sale like degree mills?

In India, there is hardly any problem in getting a Vaccination Certificate. They are cheaper than the cost of SINOPHARM vaccine here in Singapore.
Two SINOPHARM vaccine jabs with cost SG$107 (including GST).
One Vaccination Certificate in India costs as low as 100 Rupies. Somemore issued by authentic Vaccination Centres or Clinics in India.
Don't believe? Go and ask the Chenai Business Park people.
36,000 per month - meaning in one year they can bring in 432,000 of their own people . . .
Starting with six flights a day, for the first month.
But this will soon increase to twelve flights a day/night.
Perhaps 2 more flights added every subsequent month?
Then your figures of 36,000 per month will have to be increased correspondingly.
In one year, therefore, they can bring in at least 600,000 trash bags from India to flood the job market.
Out of the 600,000, all that is needed is 10% or 6,000 trash bags containing the Delta Variant X to enter Singapore without being detected. They will spread like wild fire to every loop and corner of Singapore.
What will be the ramifications?
These very nice, honest and talented people would not cheat by using fake certificates. Look at the statistics, statistics would not lie. A few millions have came and gone, only a small number were caught cheating. So the risk is very, very low.
Can open legs wider and let more to come in. Very safe.
The easiest way to solve the city state's lack of foreign talent and population growth problem is by tapping on the geographical expansion of India's population.
'six designated flights daily from Chennai, Delhi and Mumbai' could mean 6 flights per day per city. This could mean 18 flights daily in total. Not very clear which is which.
Yes, you may be right. More likely, it's six flights a day to and from each of the three cities.
There are too many aircrafts left parking unused and rotting. They have to get as many aircrafts off the land as much as possible.
18 flights only require 18 aircrafts but 18 crews. Including other flights to other countries, so far I doubt SIA and Skoot have even utilised above 50 aircrafts per day.
Forum: Make Covid-19 jab mandatory, except for the ineligible
I urge the Government to make it mandatory for everyone to be vaccinated, except those who are medically ineligible.
Singapore cannot allow the minority who are unvaccinated by choice to affect the health of others, as well as their own health, and put a burden on healthcare facilities, especially since the unvaccinated are more susceptible to infection and the consequences for them are more severe.
The unvaccinated and their supporters should look beyond principles and rights to the greater good of society.
It is impractical, costly and cumbersome to keep implementing differentiated safe management measures for the vaccinated and unvaccinated in all settings and activities.
There is also the recent precedent set by Austria, which will implement compulsory vaccination from Feb 1 next year (European nations may follow Austria's tough Covid-19 policy, Nov 21).
For the greater good of the country, Austria is taking a step which might seem alien to Western Europe and its belief in individual rights.
Then again, Covid-19 is an unusual disease, and we need to take unusual measures to fight it.

Mr Danni Steger was planning to take a 6-day vacation in Singapore, but the results of his on-arrival PCR test turned out positive.
"I'd heard about Singapore's interesting food and many ethnicities, and wanted to see it for myself," says the bachelor, who used to travel at least once a year before the pandemic.
Relocating from his hotel in Joo Chiat to community care facility D'Resort NTUC in Pasir Ris, his main concern was racking up a hefty bill.
He estimates that his isolation stint will cost about $2,900.
For the next few days after his arrival, he paced the length of his room, alternating between watching movies on his mobile phone and working remotely. Friends in Singapore sent food and he had his first taste of local cuisine - wonton noodles, ondeh ondeh and tau sar piah - while still in isolation.
He says he had no symptoms and did not fear for his health as he is fully vaccinated.
He tested negative on day five of the quarantine and was released the next day, postponing his return flight by six days and taking an additional week of leave to sightsee, so it would not be "a wasted trip".
Fully agree with you. The government should make vaccination compulsory. Just pass a new law in Parliament. Unlike many other countries, it's so easy to pass any number of laws in Singapore with more than 80% of Yes-Men in Parliament.
Mandatory vaccination is like the blind following the blind. It is desperation and not knowing what else to do, so experimental vaccines also grasped like the straw in the ocean. There are now many data saying more are dead because of the vaccines and that the vaccines do not prevent infection.
Vaccinated or not vaccinated, both equally infected when exposed.
When the situation gets worse and more lock downs are imposed, and knowing that the vaccines are completely useless in preventing infection, more are dying, there is only one last resort...and everything would be back to square one.
Remove the blinkers, open the eyes and see how to effectively tackle this pandemic. Look at the success story, stop believing in the snake oil sellers and the conmen. Stop throwing good money to fake vaccines.
Do the right thing.
He tested negative on day 5. When he get tested again on day 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 or 14, the result may be positive again.
Then how?
The question is:
Why is the Singapore Government so unwilling to make Vaccination COMPULSORY OFFICIALLY?
WHAT IS THERE TO BE AFRAID OF?
DOES THE GOVERNMENT KNOW SOMETHING THAT WE DON'T KNOW?
IS THE GOVERNMENT HIDING SOMETHING FROM ALL OF US?
Are there long-term effects the government already privy to but we don't know?
Is the mRNA vaccines not vaccines but something else, engineered by Pfizer under the order of some heinous monsters determined to destroy three quarters of mankind?
If it is, then many countries' governments have become accessories and complicit to this heinous crime against humanity.
The USA administration can pass laws interfering with other countries internal affairs and cannot even pass a law to make vaccination compulsory at home. Look at Trump and Biden signing bills and laws like drawing graffiti and making themselves look good on video. Don't talk about them caring about human rights. It is laughable!
They can easily do the same with passing a law to make vaccination compulsory, but they will not. They certainly are privy to some inside information about the vaccine. Think about it!
I wonder if Singapore is waiting for the USA to give the signal to make vaccination compulsory, before they do the same. Singapore must follow the leader. Countries cannot do things ahead or be better than the USA. The UK tried to vaccinate using the Pfizer vaccine before the USA and were taken to task. But being of the same Anglo Saxon family, they only received a tap on the wrist. If non whites like China do the same, the sky would have fallen.
Noticed that Singapore's COVID initiatives seem to be in lockstep with initiatives that the U.S. rolled out . .
Must also check undergarments also, ha ha.
It is so lucky that China came out with the inactivated virus vaccines. More than half of the world is safe, not having to get jabbed with the drug being peddled as vaccine. But some silly unthinking leaders would just want to believe that what comes out from the white men must be good, even after being proven to be bad.
The Malaysian twit is promoting mRNA vaccine as a booster after 2 shots of Sinovac. Some broadcasts from Malaysian are reporting several cases of deaths from this stupidity. Wait for confirmation in the news, if they dare to report them.
Mat Salleh mesti bagus, mesti baik baik.
Singapore citizenship is a free for all. Soon there will be more and more new citizens in this little rock. Why worry? The new citizens are for the benefit of the country. More citizens means more workers to support the old retired and redundant cohort of the population. GDP growth is paramount. Without this growth where do you think the 4G PAP ministers will get their million S$ salary and bonuses? As they say, if you don't like this, get out!!!!
Don't need them to tell us to get out. Some of us are getting out alright. This place is getting too hot and rotting too fast.
If we had like to stay in a tiny island like India, we might as well emigrate to India, where the land mass is thousands of times greater and where the inherent corruption makes it easier to do business and to move about freely.
Fear over post-vaccination deaths
Last week, I received a message via WhatsApp from several friends that a deputy director-general of the health ministry by the name of Dr Chua had died soon after getting a Pfizer booster shot.
I believe the message was widely shared by many Malaysians.
It turns out that there is no deputy director-general of health by the name of Chua. It also turns out that whoever originally posted the message got the name and designation wrong. Which again shows us the need to verify the facts.
However, a senior principal assistant director at the health ministry by the name of Dr Chai Koh Meow did die eight days after getting a booster jab.
Health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah, on Nov 18, clarified that Chai had a booster shot on Nov 9 and died on Nov 17. Chai did not report any extraordinary side effects.
Urging the public not to speculate, Noor Hisham said the ministry was investigating the cause of the death. The fact is, people will continue to speculate so long as some people die soon after getting vaccinated for Covid-19 – whether there is a connection or not.
Although health authorities everywhere have brushed off as baseless claims about deaths resulting from Covid-19 vaccines, fear remains among a section of people everywhere, not just in Malaysia.
When we hear of young or supposedly healthy people collapsing and dying suddenly of a heart attack or brain stroke soon after getting a Covid-19 jab, of course we will be alarmed.
Even doctors are concerned about the side-effects of the vaccines. For instance, on Feb 28, a group of doctors wrote to Emer Cooke, executive director of the European Medicines Agency in The Netherlands, about their concerns.
Among other things, they said: “We note that a wide range of side effects is being reported following vaccination of previously healthy younger individuals with the gene-based Covid-19 vaccines. Moreover, there have been numerous media reports from around the world of care homes being struck by Covid-19 within days of vaccination of residents.
“While we recognise that these occurrences might happen, every one of them, have been unfortunate coincidences, we are concerned that there has been and there continues to be inadequate scrutiny of the possible causes of illness or death under these circumstances, and especially so in the absence of post-mortem examinations.”
In June, a meeting of the advisory committee on immunisation practices, a panel of expert advisers to the US’ Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), agreed that mRNA vaccines were likely linked to cases of myocarditis and pericarditis. However, they said the benefits of vaccination outweighed the risks.
In saying the benefits outweigh the risks, the CDC and other health authorities are admitting there are risks. This risk stares us in the face when we are told to sign consent forms agreeing to take responsibility for the vaccination. That adds to the fear.
We have read news reports or heard of people suffering from cardiac arrest, cerebral venous thrombosis and stroke soon after being vaccinated, although these may not have been caused by the vaccine administered. Some countries even suspended or limited certain vaccines following research reports of serious adverse effects.
According to the CDC, as of Nov 10, more than 16 million doses of the Johnson&Johnson/Janssen Covid-19 vaccine had been given in the US. It has identified 50 confirmed reports of people who got this vaccine who later developed thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS), “including five confirmed reports of death”.
The CDC said reports of death after Covid-19 vaccination were rare. “More than 442 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through November 15, 2021. During this time, VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) received 9,810 reports of death (0.0022%) among people who received a Covid-19 vaccine. FDA (US Food and Drug Administration) requires healthcare providers to report any death after Covid-19 vaccination to VAERS, even if it’s unclear whether the vaccine was the cause.
“Reports of adverse events to VAERS following vaccination, including deaths, do not necessarily mean that a vaccine caused a health problem. A review of available clinical information, including death certificates, autopsy, and medical records has not established a causal link to Covid-19 vaccines.
“However, recent reports indicate a plausible causal relationship between the Johnson&Johnson/Janssen Covid-19 vaccine and TTS, a rare and serious adverse event that causes blood clots with low platelets, which has caused 5 deaths.”
I’m not aware of Malaysian health authorities releasing similar reports on the adverse effects of vaccines.
What Malaysian authorities need to do is be more transparent and to continue educating the public that, right now, being vaccinated is the best course of action.
They should investigate every case of suspected or alleged death after vaccination and inform us of the truth of the matter.
I believe the main reason people share news about deaths and vaccinations is that, deep down, they are seeking some assurance; or they hope that least someone will point out whether it’s true or not.
I don’t believe anyone is out to intentionally scare anyone else by sharing such messages.
The authorities should not threaten members of the public who don’t wish to be vaccinated. They should rather educate by quoting research, such as that by Public Health England, which indicates that the risk of death for those who have had two doses of vaccines decreases by about 20-fold against unvaccinated people with the same underlying risk profile.
The truth of the matter is that members of the public have no recourse but to rely on the government to act responsibly and transparently – and to respond swiftly – to keep us safe from possible harm or death caused by diseases such as Covid-19, and also from the vaccines and treatment for these diseases.
Remember always, before anyone quotes the CDC, that it is a highly corrupted organisation, infiltrated by the Big Pharmas, especially people from the Pfizer company. So, whatever it says or trying to make use of statistics to prove something, take it with a big handful of salt and pepper.
Even the UN and WHO have been infiltrated by CIA and bought by the USA government.
So, anything the UN Chief or WHO people say, take caution. Don't be a naive and gullible fool to believe them wholesale.
All those people are political animals not perfect gentlemen.
Politics is dirty. Politicians are dirtier and people who have the powers to decide on our life and death are the dirtiest of all.
Upright, honest and sincere politicians are very rare, perhaps already extinct.
They are not stupid. They know that the CDC, UN, WHO are all controlled by the American mafia and lying and lying. But they chose to believe. All in the same boat.
