To this, Education Minister Chan Chun Sing asked Mr Leong for further information on which schools and which VDS measures have been implemented.

Mr Leong replied: “The resident who has given feedback to me is on my WhatsApp messages . Can I refer to the messages, and then I give a reply later? Thank you”.

Wanting to follow up on the matter, Mr Chan asked again if Mr Leong could provide the information on which teacher in which school practised VDS measures. “At this point in time, we have no plans to apply any VDS in our schools. We want, as far as possible, for our students to be able to participate in the core curriculum, in the school activities. For certain selected activities that may be deemed of a higher risk, we may consider applying specific measures for them”, Mr Chan added.

He explained that students playing wind instruments, the choir, or students participating in sports activities that may require close physical contact are some examples of activities of higher risk.“I also caveated my explanation by saying that of course, we will look at the overall national posture for us to adjust our policies accordingly”, Mr Chan added. /TISG

Indranee Rajah rebukes PSP's Leong Mun Wai over claims of students being differentiated based on vaccination statusSINGAPORE — Leader of the House Indranee Rajah on Tuesday (Jan 11) admonished Non-Constituency Member of Parliament (NCMP) Leong Mun Wai for making unsubstantiated claims about teachers practising vaccination-differentiated measures for students in schools. He looks so stupid in Parliament knowing that he will be questioned on his unsubstantiated comment. There are many ways to have your says but this is definitely not one of them. Be smarter or at least ask or say something smart lah!!!🤦‍♂️ This video is gonna become a meme, when after all these posturing they predictably still decide to flip & go ahead anyway with VDM for kids, just like what they are now doing to unboosted people despite the earlier denial.
