Singapore GE2020: PAPSingapore Lawrence Wong refutes yourSDP chair Paul Tambyah's remarks on Covid-19 task force as 'baseless and false'

SINGAPORE - National Development Minister Lawrence Wong has rebutted remarks by Singapore Democratic Party chairman Paul Tambyah that the multi-ministry Covid-19 task force did not rely on the advice of medical experts in its work.

Mr Wong also addressed Professor Tambyah's remarks that the Manpower Ministry was to blame for an advisory that asked employers not to get workers tested. "I fully respect Tambyah as a leading expert in the field, but it is disappointing that he has chosen to distort facts just to score some political points," he added.
