In his speech yesterday, PM Lee took credit for keeping the number of fatalities in Singapore low. That the number of fatalities is low reflects on the diligence of our nurses, doctors and other essential workers in our healthcare sector.

GE2020: Half Of Singapore’s Covid19 Cases Asymptomatic But Still Want GE?
Lawrence Wong finally admitted to reporters on 8 June 2020 that at least half of Singapore's Covid19 cases show no symptoms.

Under normal circumstances, nobody really gives two shits about a PAP rallies. However, COVID-19 has made many Singaporeans start tuning in attentively to the Prime Minister's broadcasts. Seizing the opportunity, the PAP rolled out a series of "national broadcasts" about the post-covid-19 future from 7 to 20 June which looks suspiciously like an election rally schedule.

I have read lots of articles requesting Mr LHY to join the Opposition. Although it is not entirely impossible, he will most likely not join the opposition because he is the son of Lee Kuan Yew, the man with many enemies in the opposition.
