‘Singapore needs to restrict travellers to/from China’ — Netizens
SINGAPORE — The world is getting ready for an influx of travellers from China, which lifted pandemic restrictions earlier this month. Singapore’s Ministry of Health, however, said on Wednesday (Dec 28) that there will be no changes to rules for travellers and work pass holders arriving from China.
A Reddit user, however, expressed his opinion on the r/SingaporeRaw community page, saying that Singapore needs to restrict travellers to and from China. “When Covid started singapore dallied to china’s whims and refused to restrict travel causing a huge surge. With China case loads at historic highs the government has maybe again applied to the CCP to allow restriction on travel and the application is probably still ‘pending’. On the other hand China has realised the situation in country is so bad, no point restricting anyone from coming in or going out. Hardly makes a difference so it is allowing unrestricted travel,” wrote Redditor VPee on Wednesday (Dec 28).
