SINGAPORE - Singaporean Dilpreet Singh, who runs a tech start-up in Melbourne, has been exercising regularly and checking in more often with his business team, as he tries to keep spirits up while living under lockdown in the Australian city.
"It's a pretty bad mood here on average. Most Australians have listened to the government, so the mood is one of huge disappointment at the situation. There's a lot of anger and resentment at the few people who have spoilt it for the rest of us," said Mr Singh. Mr Singh said that it has been difficult to get hold of essential items such as toilet paper, bread and fruits in recent days.
Another Singaporean, first-year PhD student at Monash University Regine Lau, has been away from home since February. She said there was panic buying initially."When I went grocery shopping on Sunday... some people were panic buying. They were buying condiments and long-shelf life milk by the dozens."
