Dear Editor,

Now that the vast majority of Singaporeans have been vaccinated, only a small minority refused the jab. They would have gotten the vaccine by now if they had wanted it.

There’s no point keeping the VDS measures now, as they are more punitive than preventive. It makes no sense at all, and it is not going to make any difference to the infection rates. It only makes the authorities look petty and vindictive to make people suffer for refusing.

In fact, our lives have been hijacked long enough. Enough of mandates and coercion. It’s high time to remove restrictions altogether and go back to pre-covid days. Let us take back our lives.

Lawrence Seow
