As COVID-19 cases continue to grow in Singapore, the Ministry of Health (MOH) stated on Friday that working from home will be the default option for employees who are able to do so (Sep 24).

This will take effect from September 27 to October 24th.

The Ministry of Health added that :

“there should continue to be no cross-deployment of workers to multiple worksites for those who need to go into worksites to work.”

“Employers should continue to implement flexible working hours and stagger the start times of employees who need to return to the workplace,”

The Ministry of Health (MOH) reported on Sep. 24 that the number of daily Covid-19 cases in Singapore is likely to reach 3,200 next week.

If Singapore’s infection rate continues on its current path, the chances of it increasing further, even more, cannot be ruled out, said the Ministry of Health.

The daily increase of cases in recent days has been significant and there has been more people going to hospitals although they have mild symptoms.

According to the Ministry of Health, this has put a pressure on the whole healthcare and response system, as well as on Singapore’s healthcare professionals.

Health minister Ong Ye Kung said at a conference that our local healthcare system can handle 2,000 to 3,500 patients before it hits its limit

Trade and Industry Minister Gan Kim Yong said earlier today that it is a difficult move but it is necessary to stop the spike in infections and preventing it from overwhelming the healthcare in Singapore.

Mr Gan said: “I know that many Singaporeans and businesses will be disappointed by today’s announcement. I want to assure you that Singapore remains committed to reopening”

Yesterday(Sept 24), the Ministry of Health reported 1500 cases. Previously when Singapore was at 2 pax dining the daily cases were low in the hundreds. Currently, it is in the thousands.

The maximum of 2 pax gathering restrictions will last from September 27 to October 25.

A 39-year-old man will be charged with money laundering and offering unauthorized cross-border money transfer payment services.

Officers from Jurong Police Division conducted a routine check on two males near Choa Chu Kang Avenue 3 at approximately 8.50 p.m. on September 11, 2020, and discovered them in possession of a stack of Singapore dollar notes. They allegedly stated that they were following the 39-year-old man’s orders to collect the $14,730 in cash from those who had hired him to move money offshore.

Preliminary investigations indicated that the individual had reportedly engaged on a business of offering cross-border money transfer services from 4 August to 11 September 2020, when he allegedly transferred an amount of around $359,500 from his DBS bank account to people in the People’s Republic of China.

It was suspected that the transfer services were provided without a legal license.

Meanwhile, the Police received allegations from 13 scam victims between August 28 and November 24, 2020, who were duped into depositing money totaling $430,500 into the 39-year-old man’s DBS bank account.

The 39-year-old man said that another individual, identified only as “Aloysius,” had directed him to deposit $446,400 into a second UOB account, which included the illicit profits from the scheme, before the money was moved to another foreign bank account.

If he is found guilty of facilitating the retention of benefits from criminal conduct under the Corruption, Drug Trafficking and Other Serious Offences (Confiscation of Benefits) Act, faces up to 10 years’ imprisonment, a fine up to S$500,000, or both.
