Health Minister, Ong Ye Kung, announced that monetary rewards of up to S$4,000 will be given to public healthcare workers to recognise them for their efforts in this pandemic.
The reward is also extended to those doing frontline work in community care organisations like nursing homes and dialysis centres.
Currently, there are about 100,000 staff in these organisations eligible for the reward.
The Ministry of Health (MOH), also said that these monetary rewards are recognition from the government for the efforts of the staff.
Every Public Health Preparedness Clinic will also receive a grant of S$10,000 for their contributions in this pandemic.
Minister Ong added that the monetary reward does not fully reflect the contributions of each of these healthcare workers and that it is not a motivating factor as to why the healthcare workers do what they do.
However, it is more of an appropriate thing to do for MOH to recognise the contributions of these healthcare workers in this trying year.
Public healthcare workers should expect to receive the reward in December this year while Public Health Preparedness Clinics and healthcare workers who are eligible for the reward should receive it in the first quarter of 2022.

54 y.o Wang Xuyi was convicted in Court for scolding a doctor at Changi General Hospital (CGH) with terms such as “stupid” and “crazy” in Maindarin.
She also hit an auxiliary police officer and tried to bite her when they were trying to escort her out of the clinic.
Wang went to CGH on May 16, 2020 to see Dr Magneline Ang at about 6pm.
Dr Ang recommended certain necessary tests and had offered to confirm the diagnosis of Wang as well as check if there was further treatment needed, to which Wang initially refused but accepted 45 minutes later.
A brief moment later, Dr Ang was told that Wang had again refused to proceed with the recommendations and raised her voice even when Dr Ang had tried to convince Wang that it was necessary with the help of a senior doctor.
Wang had wanted only antibiotics for her condition at that time
At about 9pm when Dr Ang was seeing another patient, Wang forced her way into the consultation room and said that she did not want to wait any longer and scolded Dr Ang ‘stupid’.
Dr Ang continued with her duties even after the confrontation and was later told again at 9:30pm that Wang now wanted to be admitted into the hospital.
The paperwork was then arranged but Wang changed her mind again and wanted to speak with Dr Ang.
Dr Ang went to find Wang who then told her that she refused to be admitted and questioned her on why she proceeded to do the paperwork for her admission.
She then scolded Dr Ang “Ni sheng jing bing” which is mandarin for “you are crazy”.
Three auxiliary police officers then wanted to escort Wang out and Wang took out her phone wanting to film the scene despite repeated warnings not to do so as the are in a prohibited zone.
They raised their hands to cover her camera lens and amidst the struggle, Wang forcefully hit one of the officers on her left shoulder thrice and bit her in the arm.
Wang claimed that she did not know the meaning of “ni sheng jing bing” when asked by the prosecution.
Penalties for voluntarily causing hurt are a jail term for up to three years or a fine up to S$5,000, or punished both.
For harrassment, she is liable for a jail term of up to a year or fine up to S$5,000, or both.
Wang is now out on a S$30,000 bail and will go back to court on Dec 6.

National swimmer Quah Jing Wen, sister of Quah Zheng Wen who is also a national swimmer, recently shared an Instagram story showing her brother in No.4 uniform with the caption ‘sending the beast back into the wild’.
Based on the Instagram story, we safely conclude that Quah Zheng Wen has already enlisted for service and started his life as a “chao recruit”.
Quah Zheng Wen was initially granted deferment from National Service to focus and train for the Olympic games, along with fellow national swimmer Joseph Schooling.
However, that deferment came to an end after the conclusion of the Tokyo games when it was announced by the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) that their deferment has ended on 31 August 2021 which means that Quah and Schooling will have to enlist for National Service soon.

Singapore Airlines’ SQ33 service from San Francisco to Singapore was cancelled on Nov 3 after its plane’s wing hit another plane who was on the ground.
The flight was due to depart at 9:50pm San Francisco time, but did not do so after the incident occurred.
An SIA spokesperson, in response to media queries by CNA, said that the Airbus 350-900 which SIA uses to operate the flight, was taxiing for departure when its wing hit another plane which was parked on ground.
It returned back safely to the gate after the incident for inspections and no one on board, passengers or crew, were injured.
The flight was eventually cancelled and engineers proceeded to do their checks on the aircraft.
Passengers who were affected were given accommodation in the form of hotel stays and rescheduled on the next service.

Ralph Wee Yi Kai, 19, the YP responsible for intruding a Rhino enclosure at the Singapore Zoo to perform a backflip and killing a frog at Sentosa Cove has been issued a warrant of arrest.
This was because he did not appear in court on Nov 5 which he was supposed to turn up for a bail review.
His parents expended their efforts in waking him up but he refused to and therefore was left with no choice but to ask the judge to issue Wee a warrant of arrest so that they can receive help from the Police.
An urgent bail review was called by the prosecution as they wanted to have it revoked as Wee had allegedly committed new offences.
There are four new alleged offences which he committed, such as cutting of his electronic tag on Oct 26 as well as not reporting for urine tests on more than one occasion.
Wee’s lawyer said in court that his parents reminded him last night that he had a pending bail review the next day, but could not wake him up today morning and that it is quite unlikely that Wee will voluntarily surrender himself even if they spoke nicely to him and therefore they seek the judge’s help to issue a warrant of arrest.
His next hearing will be on Nov 22 where he is set to plead his guilt to the offences.

Gan Kim Yong, the Minister for Trade and Industry, said that food prices are expected to rise in the coming months due to the increase in energy prices.
He was answering MP Shawn Huang’s questions of whether supply chain disruption and energy costs increase will impact the prices of food in the coming 6 months.
Gan explained that the prices of food are affected by factors such as energy costs, labour, imported prices, freight as well as the changes in the weather.
Over the last half a year, food prices domestically have been increasing because of global food commodities prices increasing, along with higher energy prices, bottlenecks in supply chain and shortages of labour.
He added that energy prices are a contributing factor in the cost of food globally.
As a result, suppliers might need to adjust prices to reflect the increase in costs.
Gan added that Singapore families will be given assistance to “mitigate the impact” and the the Social Service Offices of the Ministry of Social and Family Development will be providing ComCare assistance to households that are low income.
