Places like Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan are now facing a surge of new cases thanks to large number of travelers carrying the virus arriving at their borders.
The answer is maybe Singapore's top-notch health system, draconian tracing and containment measures, and a small population that’s largely accepting of govt’s orders.
By having more funds domiciled in Singapore, the government hopes to attract more cash, jobs and reduce its economy’s reliance on more volatile sectors such as trade.
The outbreak of coronavirus emanating from China’s Wuhan city reminds one of the severe acute respiratory syndrome epidemic that had spread around the world.
The real bet for Ma lies in a longer-term gamble — corporate cash management, where the potential of digital disruption is the largest and most profitable.
The dynamics between Europe and Russia have gone so south that mending fences looks like an uphill task—even as the US swings between sanctions and olive branches.
Centre for Science and Environment in new report makes case for rationalising GST on waste material, saying most informal operators can’t afford high tax & it also hinders recycling.
21st edition of annual joint military exercise will be held from 1 to 16 September, aimed at sharing military tech, operational best practices & disaster relief coordination methods.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
This isn’t true. I know people who travelled to Singapore and contracted the virus there., spread it when they got home. I know someone who was exposed to a COVID postive patient, he presented with symptoms of COVI D and went to see his doctor. in Singapore. The doctor did not require testing. and merely prescribed an anto-inflammatory. The patient was never tested and is free to move around and go to work. Singapore has great PR, but not a great plan to contain the virus.
Amusing to see commentators trumpeting about enforced discipline in an authoritarian city state of Singapore and comparing it to a highly diverse, multi-ethnic, heterogeneous democracy of highly vibrant and subcontinental dimension such as India. Indian economy is still at the low middle income level and hence resources are limited when seen against its huge population. Health care is still modest operating with low ratios of 1 hospital bed for every 1800 patients and 1 doctor for every 11600 people. India will, therefore, tackle problems by working within its constraints.
We can learn from Singapore on preparedness very well in advance. Unfortunately here, the govt didn’t even talk about Coronavirus except PM offered help to China as we were busy with election, toppling, Namaste Trump, Delhi riots etc. We woke up only before Holi. Our government has failed to be prepared. Other things comparing our size, we cannot compare with Singapore
Quite a piece of misinformation here.. My meetings with Singapore client were cancelled in mid Feb as they stopped meeting people in the office. They even asked all employees to work from home 5 weeks back… In India, it started just last week… Hope that explains the reason.
Honestly Singapore is fully dependent on the outside world country for their living. It created the good infra but if it lockdown there the problem comes of survival of people for basic needs.
Also I think Singapore took this virus very casually. Look at the data max cases are imported. Also people are roaming around infecting others.
Using new technologies are good good but understand how this virus spread and use your brain to avoid that.
Singapore takes Covid 19 casually?
Apparently you don’t read the news at all!
Don’t comment if you’re unaware of basic facts.
Don’t be sore about how Singapore is handling the crisis if your own government is nowhere comparable.
There are 2 deaths as of 21 March in Singapore which came from government WhatsApp channel. Check your facts before publishing.
Singapore, don’t pat yourselves on the back and applaud yourselves yet.
The fact is that no one knows enough of this new epidemic , everyone is learning and making mistakes and sharing day by day. Also , there may be a wave backlash . Who really knows ? Countries who were ok yesterday are not ok today.
This article is a slap in the face. I have to go to work everyday in the crowded MRT. It is literally impossible to practice social distancing during rush hour. The situation here is unbelievably risky.
You assume that going into lockdown is unnecessary; I say that we Singaporeans will soon regret our hubris. Even when people out there are at-risk and dying, they are still subordinated to the capitalist prerogative. Is the economy worth more to you than your own humanity? I have a feeling I already know the answer
Singapore example doesn’t work everywhere.
Even Taiwan, South Korea also.These are semi-authoritarian systems.Not full fledged Democratic.and also highly homogeneous or just few races.Singapore is a Small Island with just few kilometres.we can call it as a Island city rather than a country.India is highly diversed, multi cultural,multi language,with lot of different political beliefs.in sucha way that some section of people don’t feel it is their country.if u want to implement any good measure always opposing force acts.even for good things.foe eg.in Singapore u can’t even heard Azan.even if u live beside mosque u don’t know weather Mosque exists are not.In India such kind of things never happens.
India is making all out efforts to prevent spreading of Coronovirus. The rich in foreign countries where this Coronovirus is rampant are carrying it to India. Therefore, Govt of India has stopped all International flights. Coronovirus was reported in China in December 2019 itself. WHO didn’t alert the countries immediately. Rahul Gandhiji requested PM Modi on 12.2.2020 to prioritize health care measures to prevent spreading of Coronovirus. But he didn’t move immediately. It is spreading very fast. 15 Crores Indian don’t have house to live in. Another 20 Crores are living below poverty line. Daily earners & consumer based business will suffer more. Govt of India is doing it’s best with the co-operation of all State Govt.
Masks, Sanitiser etc are used by the people.
Why you have talked about Masjids & Azan?
but mob lynching merrily takes place in india… wher does your democracy go then?
girls dressing is controlled by 1 section, if tthey refuse to follow ther are beaten out there on the street in broad day light, no ond dares to question the democracy then
so many examples can be cited.
in singapore you do not hear azaan as well you cannot find jgarata contunuing for whole night nor kanwaris going mindlessly hayware either
Giving example of Singapore is inappropriate in this context. It is even smaller than Bangalore. It is already highly developed, with excellent infrastructure, strict discipline and above all authoritarian govt. Can’t compare with bigger countries.
It’s 4 April there are more than 1000 cases. Say that again?

Your article is not up to date. The country has reported 2 deaths on the 21 March 2020.
Still looking for suceess ..health is utmost important..what about humanity ?
The article is self contradictory. It started with ‘we dont home quarantine’ and ended with ‘home quarantine is very strict’

I am pretty sure this would never happen in India in my lifetime !!!
