COVID-19 was a pandemic on a scale like no other, spreading across the globe in a few brief months. While COVID-19 caught many countries by surprise, the next disease outbreak, or Disease X, should see greater preparedness and resilience on our part.
At the the inaugural Temasek Shophouse Conversation organised by Temasek Foundation, discussions among the many expert panellists centred on the COVID-19 response and corresponding recovery efforts.
“COVID-19 has shown us that global cooperation involving multiple stakeholders at significant scale and complexity is possible, if we have a common cause. The pandemic has also highlighted the importance of collaboration at home, so that we can face crises with unity and solidarity,” affirmed keynote speaker Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat.

PUTRAJAYA: Building more hospitals is not going to solve the Covid-19 problem if the public do not change their behaviour, said the Prime Minister’s Special Advisor on Public Health, Tan Sri Dr Jemilah Mahmood.
She said in dealing with the pandemic, it should start with the public practising Covid-19 preventive measures and influencing those around them.
“We’ve got to change our behaviour. We really have to help, think about the frontline workers who are struggling, overworked and depressed,“ she said today in a webinar session titled Business in the Era of Covid-19: Business Scenario Resetting with Covid-19.
