The green bean paste snack is also known as Biskut Tausar is a popular old school snack that is enjoyed by locals.
A man bought a new packet of the snack from a provisions shop at Changi Village and took a bite from it.
He realised that it taste different and open it up to take a look. To his horror, he found fungus and the biscuits looked mouldy even though the expiry date is still far away.
Health Minister Ong Ye Kung, when responding to a parliamentary question by Member of Parliament of East Coast GRC, Ms Jessica Tan, said that the TraceTogether “not cleared” issue for home recovery patients who have recovered will be resolved in the next few days.
The question was brought up in parliament today (Oct 4).
Minister Ong added that the alert will be synchronised with the patient’s discharge date, and will disappear by itself once the patient completes their home recovery.
Therefore, recovered patients would be able to return to their normal lives, 10 days for vaccinated patients and 14 days for the unvaccinated.
Process of status change
Once a person tests positive, the TraceTogether app will show that his test status is “not cleared”.
This will prevent the person from gaining entry into most buildings and from dining and grocery shopping.
The status should be typically “cleared” once a second PCR test result shows negative.
However, most home recovery people are not offered such tests as explained by Mr Ong that fully vaccinated people are automatically discharged after 10 days because their viral loads would have already dropped significantly.
He ended by saying that the IT system needs to keep up with this policy and he expects the issue to be resolved some time by this week.

A worried netizen has taken to social media to voice out his displeasure over an overcrowded bus stop filled with students allegedly from Swiss Cottage Secondary School.
He says that schools should play their part to educate students to incorporate safe distancing measures in their daily lives even for things as normal as taking the bus.
He is worried that the overcrowding would make it unsafe for the students and the community there as it will be easier for the virus to transmit from person to person should any of them be infected.
The students seems to be cluttered and very little social distancing.
