Singapore — Ho Ching, the former CEO of Temasek Holdings, took to Facebook to chastise Singaporeans complaining about Covid-19 restrictions.
Many Singaporeans expressed unhappiness online over the weekend when it was revealed that Bloomberg forum delegates coming here can dine in groups of five at designated restaurants.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday (Oct 27), Mdm Ho wrote: “When we delay elective surgery or treatment, we will increase the risk of more serious troubles later. The USA is beginning to see this happening, as they have had their hospitals overwhelmed by Covid patients and had been postponing the electives and the care for other non-Covid patients. This is why we are so focused on making sure we tamp down the infection rate of flow into our hospitals”.
“So folks who bitch about their freedom to dine in bigger groups, whether as family or as friends, just stop it!” she added.
Mdm Ho noted that there were other ways people could bond and have family time, adding that she sympathised with those in the Food & Beverage industry. “I have never ordered so much food deliveries as i had done over the last 20 months, to try to do my own small bit to help the f&b folks,” she wrote.
She also mentioned that there were many ways to help in the pandemic, including those who knocked on doors to persuade others to vaccinate, those working tirelessly along frontlines.
“Let’s do our best to help, instead of wasting our energies on tantrums and bitching,” Mdm Ho emphasised. /TISG
