SINGAPORE: Singapore will contribute S$7.9 million worth of medical supplies to an ASEAN stockpile, announced Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong at the 38th Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit on Tuesday .
Given these “difficult times”, Mr Lee also noted the need to work even harder on economic integration, and ratify the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership . ASEAN countries must also progressively re-open its economies and resume safe travel as they bring COVID-19 under control, Mr Lee noted. This, he said, is an important aspect of living with COVID-19.
“Vaccines are critical in breaking the chain of viral transmission, and more importantly, to prevent serious illnesses and deaths,” he said. “Singapore will contribute our allocation to other ASEAN Member States and the ASEAN Secretariat. Singapore stands ready to work with ASEAN Member States to ensure the swift and equitable distribution of vaccines within the region,” said Mr Lee.
Bravo. We must always help one another in times of crisis. Thank you.

Germany to classify Singapore as 'high risk area', with mandatory entry registration for travellersSINGAPORE — Germany will classify Singapore as a “high-risk area” from Sunday (Oct 24), the country’s embassy in Singapore announced. Apart from Singapore, four other countries — Bulgaria, Cameroon, Croatia and the Republic of Congo — were added to Germany's 'high-risk' list. Congrats to the MMTF? Google Cameroon and Congo, all I see is Famine, school massacres, militia genocide. Wow, just wow. Can't emphasise enough why it is important to use well-defined and preferably WHO case definition for covid surveillance. Which is a whole lot less painful than what SG imposed on travellers from Germany for the last year! Karma, baby.
