SINGAPORE - Two opposition leaders who earlier challenged two People’s Action Party ministers to a national debate over the COVID-19 pandemic met on Tuesday and reiterated their expert understanding on how to deal with the virus.
On Tuesday, Dr Tan joined his fellow doctor for the same brief length of time at Block 257 Bangkit Road. He introduced Dr Tambyah to residents in different languages, including Hokkien, at a coffeeshop and took questions from the media before departing. Asked what brought him to Bukit Panjang SMC, where Dr Tambyah was running against PAP’s Liang Eng Hwa, Dr Tan said he and Dr Tambyah were “good friends”. He added that Dr Tambyah’s father was his colleague at Tan Tock Seng Hospital.
Dr Tan said, “The important thing is that they think that we are incapable of managing COVID-19, we are going to tell them look, let Singaporeans decide whether we have the capability and also the experience.” Dr Tan retired from medicine in 2018 after 50 years in the industry. He first opened his clinic – Ama Keng Clinic – in 1971. Dr Tambyah is an infectious diseases expert who was recently elected to be the president of the US-based International Society of Infectious Diseases.
