No flat for you!

http://www.tremeritus.com/2015/10/17/no-flat-for-you/
A recent article on TodayOnline’s “The Big Read: The last Ubinites — a short hop, and a world away” gives a snapshot of life on the idyllic kampong. One of the last haven from the bustling metropolis mainland, residents of Pulau Ubin enjoy the peace, quiet and vast nature the island offers.
For one family however, the need to move to the mainland seems pressing. Mdm Ong Siew Fong, the island’s temple guardian, lives on the island with her husband and daughter, both handicapped and in wheelchairs. Every so often, Mdm Ong makes the bumboat ride with her domestic helper and husband to Singapore mainland for the husband’s medical appointments. They often have to wait for high tides when it is possible to move the husband’s wheelchair onto the boat.
As it is getting harder for them on the bumboat rides, the family tried applying for a HDB flat. After paying a deposit of $1,000, their application was rejected because the family income was too low, at $1,300. As a result, their hard earned savings that formed the deposit was forfeited.
Wasn’t it not too long ago that a prominent Minister of Singapore said Singaporeans who earn $1,000 could afford a HDB flat? If that is so, why has HDB defied the Minister’s logic and turned down the family’s application? Is there coordination between what Ministers say and how Ministries act or was the Minister’s calculation a dud?
Moreover, if HDB thinks the family is too poor to afford a flat, why further burden them by forfeiting their deposit? $1000 is a lot of money, you can afford a flat with this amount, you know?

SDP: Non-Transparency over Hep C Outbreak Extremely Serious

SDP: Non-Transparency over Hep C Outbreak Extremely Serious

October 9th, 2015 | Author: YourSDP

The SDP sends our condolences to the bereaved families of those who died from the recent Hepatitis C outbreak at the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) as well as to those who are infected by this serious viral infection.
We look forward to an expeditious and comprehensive investigation into how the episode occurred and, subsequently, deteriorated and what steps are being taken to prevent future mishaps.
What is disturbing, however, is the non-transparent manner in which the incident was handled by the Government. Information about the outbreak apparently first emerged between April 17 and May 14 this year when the first five cases of the hepatitis C infections were reported by the SGH to the Ministry of Health (MOH).
The SDP appreciates the difficulty in distinguishing between acute and chronic infections of hepatitis C in some of these cases, as explained by the MOH in its statement today. But even if it was only in August that the MOH was informed that cases were suspected to be linked, it would have been aware of the first outbreak in April. And yet the public was not informed.
Most of these patients were apparently transplant recipients who, according to the Singhealth website, are routinely screened for hepatitis pre-transplant. Thus, their conversion from negative to positive would have been an indicator of an acute or subacute infection.
Also, it appears that infection control reviews may have been conducted from at least June 2015 for patients in the affected wards. Thus, patient safety as well as safety of the blood supply were potentially compromised by delays in notification of the general public, especially those vulnerable patients who might have gone through the affected units.
This is because individuals who may have been recently infected with the virus and incubating it may have gone on to donate blood without knowing that they were in the “window period”. This is a potentially extremely serious situation.
It is our understanding that the outbreak is the among the most widespread in medical history. Yet the MOH kept the matter under wraps and did not keep the public informed. This is in marked contrast to the SARS Epidemic in 2003 when the Government handled the matter with much more transparency.
The secretiveness in this episode is unwarranted as the public has the right to know – and the Government the obligation to inform the public – of such a life-and-death matter. The management of the incident by the Government raises two important questions:
One, why was the public not informed when the outbreak was recognised and investigations commenced in May-June 2015 despite the potential risks to other patients?
Two, was the withholding of the information a political consideration?
The Government needs to answer these questions and account to the people over the matter.

No one dare to voice out when they have problems. Everyone got family to feed. So keep quiet to keep jobs. Who want to learn like me? In Tampines HDB? Do I receive my fairness? Do LH* bother to what happen to me? What is education for? What is religion for? What is lie detector for? Defend country PM Lee? I am following what religion and education teach me. What do I get?

Hep C saga: PM Lee fails to answer crucial question

October 13th, 2015 | Author: YourSDP

Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong recently commented on the hepatitis C scandal, saying that “we also always have to be open and transparent with the public and with the patients about what has happened because we must maintain public confidence, and trust in the healthcare system.”
Undoubtedly. Mr Lee, however, omitted that there must also be trust in the political system to ensure the safety of the people. He failed to mention that the Infectious Disease Act (IDA) mandates that infectious diseases be promptly reported to Ministry of Health (MOH).
Also, according to the Public Hospitals and Medical Clinics Act (PHMCA), the director of medical services at MOH is to be immediately informed of outbreaks of hospital acquired infection. Section 4.44 of the Act states that the “The Director shall be informed immediately of (a) Any patient or staff with a notifiable disease, (b) Outbreaks of hospital-acquired infections.”
Both these Acts mean that the Government would have been automatically alerted when the first cases of the infection occurred between May and June 2015.
Given such a scenario, the question that PM Lee needs to answer is why was the public not informed of the deadly incident at the very first instance? There was up to a 5-month lapse of silence between the first occurences of the infection and their public disclosure by the Government.
Even if we accept Minister for Health Gan Kim Yong’s statement that the MOH was not officially notified of the matter until late August (which would be in direct contradiction to the IDA and PHMCA), why did he wait for another two months before disclosing the episode – which by then had claimed 8 lives (five apparently contributed to by the infection) and caused 22 infections – in October 2015?
It must be made clear that there are two important issues raised by this episode. The first is the security lapse at the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) which the hospital must answer for. The second relates to the delay in the public disclosure of the incident which has nothing to do with officials and staff at the SGH and everything to do with the PAP Government.
The two issues must not be conflated and, more important, the Government must not obscure its role in the matter by pushing the blame exclusively on SGH.
To the second issue of the Government’s failure to inform the public of the outbreak in a timely manner, we repeat the following questions which PM Lee failed to answer in his address of the saga:
One, why was the public not informed when the outbreak was recognised and investigations commenced in May-June 2015 despite the potential risks to other patients?
Two, was the withholding of the information a political consideration? In other words, was the announcement delayed because of the General Elections?
