“To show solidarity at this trying time, political office holders will be taking a one-month pay cut, while MPs will take a one-month cut in their allowance. I am heartened that President Halimah Yacob is also joining in this gesture,” Lee announced on Friday, February 28.

From having the highest number of COVID-19 cases outside mainland China in the first few weeks of the disease, Singapore now ranks 5th, according to the World Health Organization as of Friday. The most number of cases of COVID-19 outside mainland China now come from South Korea, Italy, Iran, and Japan.

In early February, Lee himself appeared in a televised message to reassure Singaporeans that the government is working to battle COVID-19, and to remind them that “fear can do more harm than the virus itself.”

Bet you, the thought never entered the minds of our gov’t officials!

Pusta ako pag nagising si tatay pinger gagayahin din eto para masabi ng mga bayarang trolls na mukha na talaga tayong singapore 👊👊👊💩💩💩🐶🐕💵💰💸💊💉💊💉

Ate MochaUson pangunahan mo to..

Philippine politicians/officials left the group!

This is what true leadership is, been awhile since I seen it, thought it was long gone.

singapore nalang sana maging expansionist kung pag conquer lang naman ng country usapan kayo nalang sumakop samin kesa china! 😭💔

Sabi nila ang Pilipinas daw ay kahalintulad ng Singapore, bakit hindi natin simulan sa 1 month pay cut sa mga pinuno ng bansa? Para kahit man lang sa ganitong paraan eh maihalintulad nga ang Pilipinas sa Singapore.

sana all
