When Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) was first announced, some called for a full-fledged Circuit Breaker.
These were the ones who believed that the new restrictions were not much less restrictive than they had been in Apr. 2020.
Quick recap: That was when the government ordered all non-essential businesses to shut down, restricted F&B outlets to providing takeaway and delivery only, and banned physical social gatherings altogether, as part of a nationwide Circuit Breaker to stop the spread of Covid-19.
As it turned out, during Phase 2 (HA) from May 19, many activities that were off limits during the CB of 2020 like shopping, swimming, and even gambling were permitted, even though gatherings were limited to twos, and dining in was out of the question.

Rayleigh scattering
The light from the sun scatters as it travels through the Earth’s atmosphere. The process is known as Rayleigh scattering which determines the colours our naked eyes see.
The WiFi project aims to
enable access to the internet from home, and will be complemented by other programmes to
elevate the IT capabilities within the communities by training youths to be able to troubleshoot issues and even fix laptops.
It s a comprehensive, coherent plan that as Wah reiterates many times in our conversations is geared toward sustainability.
With connectivity and digital readiness becoming more and more of a daily necessity, the impact of what the group is trying to do cannot be understated.
Community matters
Wah says that BDIC is currently speaking to corporate sponsors who may potentially come on board to cover the initial set-up cost.
