Majority of Singaporeans do not remember voting for this.
Singaporeans from 70 percent walks of life are up in arms and chastising The Straits Times reporter Rachel Chang.
This after Chang wrote an article asking questions and suggesting that public officers and medical professionals, in both the Singapore General Hospital (SGH) and the Ministry of Health (MOH), may have delayed the disclosure of information of a Hepatitis C outbreak to the minister and the public for political reasons.
One Singaporean, Shou Bu Leow, said: “I don’t know if she got the memo, but there is no place in Singapore for a reporter whose sole interest is asking difficult questions and getting at the truth.”
“Who does she think she is? 70 percent of Singaporeans did not vote for this type of wayward behaviour.”
“I don’t remember voting for this during General Election 2015.”
Other Singaporeans said the new 70 percent mandate climate has made it loud and clear that reporters with an agenda to ask questions will be promptly dismissed.
One local, Qu Si Bah, said: “If Rachel Chang wants to ask so many questions and put the government in a tough position, she should just join the opposition and get voted into parliament.”
“That is the only venue to ask tough questions. Actually even then…”
