Daily Dose June 24 : Election is coming
So the country's worse kept secret is officially announced.
As expected, Singapore GE will be held during Phase 2. The official date
would be on July 10.
1) GE announced on July 10
Nomination day to be on Jun 30
It had been debated that having an election during a pandemic is not exactly
a great idea.
With the lowering Covid19 numbers, the introduction of Phase 2 along
with the expansive Covid19 Stimulus package to the tune of $100 Billion, the
ground is as sweet as it can get to have the GE.
The need to rid this bearbug in order to concentrate on the matters on hand
is also another reason for the GE to be held now.
2) 119 new cases of Covid
116 Dorms
3 Community (1 PR, 1 WP, 1 Work Permit)
Like clockwork, whenever there is a major announcement, you can almost bet
that the daily Covid count would spring a surprise. The day count is the
lowest for the month. Still, the proof is in the pudding. Without the daily
test counts, it is impossible to determine that infection had been reduced.
3) Seoul Garden and Northpoint city among places visited by infectious
Covid19 on first day of Phase 2 opening
Do note if you had been to the following places
19 Jun 1715h to 1805h
Sheng Siong Supermarket (19 Serangoon North Avenue 5)
19 Jun 2005h to 2140h
Northpoint City (930 Yishun Avenue 2) Seoul Garden
4) Self-serving buffet restaurants go a la carte during Phase 2
At least one shuts owning to revenue loss.Manle Hotput shuts down
5) Flash Flood reported in parts of Singapore after heavy rain
Upper Changi Road turned to Changi River, Jurong Town Hall Rd turned to
Jurong River
6) 31 dorms Covid19 free, 79000 in total clear of virus
In total, 163 dormitories and 18 BRWs in 11 purpose-built dormitories have
so far been cleared of Covid-19.
This is probably the reason why you are seeing lower numbers of infections
in dorms
7) Ex NTU Student hacked 121 Koptiman cards, made $7500 selling them on
carousell
Youth conspired with 16 people to cheat Grabhitch of $26,000 through bogus

The youths are getting innovative... in a wrong way!
