In their interview with reporters from four SPH Media Trust publications - The Straits Times, Lianhe Zaobao, Berita Harian and Tamil Murasu - the ministers explained the Government's decision to relax Singapore's Covid-19 rules.

We wouldn't open up and take this decisive step if we thought we were going to step back."He compared the country's ongoing battle with Covid-19 to weightlifting at the gym, noting that people may get muscle aches after lifting weights but also grow stronger over time.and bore up under various sets of restrictions in the months that followed.

While some local companies may be concerned about losing business to their Malaysian counterparts, they are also likely to see an uptick in demand from Malaysians and other tourists, Mr Wong added. While increased demand from opening up could result in some upward pressure on prices, businesses' cost concerns will also be alleviated by the availability of more labour.
