According to the latest media release, another 41 new cases were discovered and they are linked to the infamous “Vietnamese Hostesses” KTV cluster. Today (July 14) a total of 56 cases were reported.

Earlier today Minister of Health Ong Ye Kung spoke to reporters and said:

“We knew about cases like that happening in Korea, in Hong Kong nightlife, people coming very close together, some with hostesses, and leading to big clusters.

So we have never allowed such activities for the past more than one year.

“And so any outlets providing hostess services, dice games and all this very close contact, were never allowed, knowing and learning from the experiences of places like Hong Kong and Korea. So for this to now happen has been troubling (and) disappointing.”

Police will take action against the lounges and hostesses

The Police will be taking action against the illegal establishments and hostesses who may have broken the safety rules.

The dream cruise woman who reported to be infected earlier today is also linked to the KTV cluster, which adds up the total amount of cases linked to the KTV cluster to 53.

One of the Vietnam hostesses reported sick on July 11, She was later tested positive and admitted to the hospital. The tracing of her movement indicated that she has been to many different KTV outlets.

It is believed the intermingling of different customers with so many different outlets caused the results we are facing today.

The Health Minister is urging those who have visited the KTV outlets to step forward and get tested asap.

An expat posted online asking Singaporeans about the “disdain and hate targeted at expats”.

The expat then boasted of a monthly income of $20-$25k, calling it mid-level.

Naturally, Singaporean netizens were not very pleased.

Here is the full story.

“Disclaimer: This post is not targeted at causing any racial tension or calling out either Singaporeans or Expats.

A little about me: I am an expat living in Singapore for just over 4 years in my early 30’s with my spouse and young child (also expats). Both of us work in Tech at relatively mid-level jobs bringing in about 20-25k total a month. We believe we live fairly modest lives, came from very average families and very average education.

Context: Of late, it feels like there is a lot of disdain and hate targeted at expats. While these feelings have always been there and we have faced them, it’s never been as open and blatant as it is currently is.

Question: Do Singaporeans really feel threatened by expats that they will take your jobs, or are more preferred in the workforce?”
