Where is the priority of those 4G politicians entrusted to mitigate the COVID-19 pandemic?
Joseph Nathan
The recent outbreak of infections at KTV outlets across Singapore shows that those in charge of the Multi-Ministry Taskforce (MTF) are hugely incompetent in the task entrusted to them.
If this pandemic was to be a biological warfare, then our country would be doomed by now.
From Pandemic To Endemic
While the global fight against the pandemic rages on, it was foolish, or even arrogant, of the MTF to reclassify the pandemic as an endemic.
By using endemic instead of pandemic to push our economy back to the new norms of post Covid-19, the MTF has foolishly given the presumption that it is going to be business-as-usual, come what may, and we have to be brave about it.

JULY 13 ― Can we reverse and uproot that culture of corruption and venality that’s become endemic ― and to an extent institutionalised ― in our society so as to eventually fade away like the old Marxist theory of “the withering away of the State”? Or must we be content with ensuring only that corruption doesn’t veer out of control but kept suppressed within certain “reasonable limits” since, like other crimes, it’s a reality that defies all attempts at eradication?
Corruption is a crime unlike any other petty (eg., minor theft) or serious offences (eg., armed robbery) involving monetary loss as it involves the intent and consent of both parties, ie., the giver and taker. In other words, corruption and bribery are meant to benefit the parties involved. Everyone gets share or takes a cut, at the end of the day.
