SINGAPORE - Bukit Batok MP Murali Pillai on Sunday said that extra precautionary measures were in place during a club dinner for seniors held in his ward earlier this month, following criticism by Singapore Democratic Party chief Chee Soon Juan.
This list, compiled by club chairman Ong Chai and originally shared on the club's Facebook page, included measures such as mandatory temperature checks, travel and health advisories and having organisers look out for and advise anyone who felt unwell to see a doctor and rest at home. He asked why Mr Murali had allowed the seniors, who were more vulnerable to infection, to gather in the hall when the spread of Covid-19 was at"its most critical".
The dinner on March 7 was held before these measures kicked in, and Mr Murali noted that it would not be fair to judge the decision to proceed with the dinner based on facts that happened after it.
What had been happened to Jurong Safra, they had the same precautionary taken too? Hope there is no additional clusters...
Not okay...how can We know abt Covid-19 for more than 4mths (since Nov '19). MP Murali Pillai hv time to take corrective action. Event sud hv been postponed or cancelled. Lousy excuse to say 'all precaution taken'. Bloody idiotic and senseless! leehsienloong
