Thaipusam celebration, Singapore Airshow to go on: Lawrence Wong

“Each event organiser, taking into account the advisory will take all these precautions and new measures and they will highlight this to all participants of their own event and they will make public these new

measures as well,” he said.“Our advisory, just to be very clear, is for event organisers to cancel or defer the non-essential ones, but if they wish to proceed, and they can then take all necessary precautions,” he said.

Why not cancel? Why not learn the mistake of Wuhan? They have big events before the lockdown. I think we should be more conservative and protect our people.

The government had said before , Air Show size scales down , its not about money , its about if they want , they have to do the neccessary precautions to get the Air Show on

Even Shanghai closed Disneyland as a precaution afew weeks ago... y is SG nt taking this seriously?

hmm i can understand the difficulty of cancelling Thaipusam.. but .. Airshow has no cultural/religion context.. and isn't it considered a large scale event?

Should have both been cancelled knowing the risks of such outbreak why let it go on you are risking people's lives here.
