“I am ready for my next assignment,” a beaming Deputy Prime Minister Lawrence Wong had declared at a People’s Action Party (PAP) convention last November.

“I am all in, heart and soul,” he said, adding that he has been working hard to get ready for what would be the “biggest responsibility” of his career – to take over the baton from Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong as Singapore’s next leader.

Now, the assignment has come as Mr Lee announced his retirement on Monday (Apr 15).

Mr Wong will officially take over the leadership reins on May 15, when he becomes Singapore's fourth Prime Minister.

RISE THROUGH THE RANKS

The 51-year-old entered politics in 2011 after being elected as a Member of Parliament in West Coast GRC. He was given his first political office two weeks after the election – as Minister of State for education and defence.

In the 2015 General Election, Mr Wong moved to contest in the new Marsiling-Yew Tee GRC, where he has been anchor minister ever since.

By then, he had risen steadily through the ranks with positions in various ministries, including the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth where he was appointed acting minister in 2012 and made full minister two years later.

After the elections in 2015, he moved to head the Ministry of National Development where he stayed on until July 2020.

In 2020, Mr Wong was tasked to co-chair Singapore’s multi-ministry COVID-19 task force with then-Health Minister Gan Kim Yong.   Together with Mr Gan, and later, new Health Minister Ong Ye Kung, he helmed the country’s pandemic response and fronted key announcements at frequently held press conferences.

Political observers later said that it was Mr Wong’s steady leadership style during COVID-19, clear explanation of policies and grasp of details that put him in pole position to take over as the country’s next leader when Deputy Prime Minister Heng Swee Keat took himself out of the running for the top job in April 2021.

Mr Heng, then 60, had cited his age as the reason and that he would have “too short a runway” should he become Prime Minister after the pandemic.

Mr Wong, who was then Education Minister, took over the Finance Ministry from Mr Heng in the ensuing Cabinet reshuffle, providing the first hint of his frontrunner position given how the high-profile finance portfolio has traditionally been helmed by PAP heavyweights.

Questions about political succession were finally laid to rest in April 2022 when Mr Wong was named as the leader of the PAP’s fourth-generation, or 4G, team.   Two months later, he was promoted to Deputy Prime Minister in another Cabinet reshuffle, while holding on to his finance portfolio.

Since cementing his standing as Singapore’s next Prime Minister, Mr Wong has fronted major speeches, such as delivering the keynote speech at the May Day Rally last year in place of Mr Lee.

He has also launched the Forward Singapore exercise, which provided a glimpse of how he and the 4G team intends to take the country forward.

A CIVIL SERVANT AND GUITAR LOVER

Prior to entering politics, Mr Wong was a civil servant for 14 years.

He began his career at the Ministry of Trade and Industry in 1997 before moving on to other roles in the finance and health ministries.

Mr Wong became principal private secretary to the Prime Minister in 2005.

In 2008, he joined the Energy Market Authority as deputy chief executive and was promoted to chief executive in 2009.

Two years later, he stepped down from the post to enter politics as the youngest of five candidates tipped to form the core of the PAP’s 4G leadership.

The Straits Times reported previously that Mr Wong had resigned from the public sector to enter politics, a year short before reaching 15 years of service. Administrative Service officers were eligible for pension after 15 years of service.

“It was a loss, but it was not something that factored into my consideration at the time,” he had said.

On the personal front, Mr Wong grew up in what he described as an “ordinary family” in the Marine Parade HDB estate.

His late father was born in China’s Hainan Island, went to Malaysia as a young boy before moving to Singapore to work in a sales job.

His mother was a teacher. Describing her as a disciplinarian both in school and at home, Mr Wong has spoken highly of his mother in several interviews and public speeches for managing to teach while caring for him and his brother.

Mr Wong is an alumnus of Haig Boys’ Primary where his mother taught. In his teens, he attended Tanjong Katong Secondary School, which he chose because it was near his home, and later on, Victoria Junior College.

He obtained his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor. He also holds a master’s in public administration from the Harvard Kennedy School.

Outside of work, Mr Wong, who is married to Ms Loo Tze Lui, is known to be an avid music lover and skilled guitar player.

His love for the guitar goes back to when his father gave him his first guitar at the age of eight. He spent his weekends borrowing guitar books from the old Marine Parade library and when he got a government scholarship to study in the United States, he made sure to bring his guitar along.

Mr Wong has said that playing the guitar helps him to destress and unwind.

The incoming Prime Minister has posted several videos of him strumming his six string, including an acoustic rendition of American pop star Taylor Swift’s hit song Love Story as a tribute to educators on Teachers’ Day last year.

In world first, Israel approves cultured beef for sale to the public - The Times of Israel

In world first, Israel approves cultured beef for sale to the public

I don't eat beef myself (never liked the texture, so avoided it anyway & haemochromatosis means I shouldn't eat it for my own health), but this seems like a big deal for beef eaters. Lab culture meat is a massive step forward in reducing the impact of our food consumption. I prefer chicken (I know lab-meat chicken has happened in the USA & Singapore), but we need lab meat that appeals to all tastes.

Hi there! This week’s blog is about public health and we will dive a little about the coronavirus disease, also known as covid-19 and in days gone by, named 2019 novel coronavirus. Coronavirus was first spotted at one of open air “wet market” in Wuhan, China. Afterwards, during that time, there was an assumption that there might a coronavirus originated in one of lab in China as a biological weapon. However, the newest reports concur that the coronavirus is not an engineered virus being developed to become a biological weapon.

What is social media role during coronavirus issue?

According to (Abbas et al., 2021), people usage time on social media is higher than usual during COVID-19 pandemic period since social media is the only platform where people can search for health information for their own and their loved one’s benefits. Due to global crisis and health disaster during the pandemic, social medias have become the most welcome relief for people.

(Abbas et al., 2021) also stated, typically, users will create or share about health information that already available via local or international sources as their response to an international public health issue.

As social media platforms can bring impacts to people, people also need someone who can share their own life experience or their knowledge about health issue and shared their experience or knowledge about health information. This method called peer support. The peer support concept on social media is referring to health information that will help people to know more about Covid-19 pandemic issue. People will be searching for health-related news regarding to Covid-19 pandemic in their social media account, for example the most common one is Facebook. Since Covid-19 pandemic brought “culture shock” to the world, people will be searching for the detailed health-related update and stay keep in touch with family, friends and peers. Public communication and interaction searching for accurate information and opportunity of Covid-19 to create proper virus prevention on social media. Since social media provides the latest news and trustable information to the world, social media have become the central role in answering in global health crisis issue.

First Covid-19 case detected in Malaysia after three individuals had a close contact with one individual in Singapore. They had their trip into Malaysia from Singapore on January 24th 2020 and tested positive on January 25th 2020. After that, on the February 4th 2020, the very first Malaysian was tested positive Covid-19 after he returned from Singapore and started to cough and had fever.

During the pandemic time, the Ministry of Health of Malaysia take advantages of social media to educate and spread the awareness to the public about the Covid-19 precautions. On 18th March 2020 until 18th April 2020, the Malaysia Government implemented Movement Control Order (MCO) to control the Covid-19 from widespread.

During the entire period of Covid-19, social media accounts for example like X (previously known as Twitter) and WeChat were used to share the updates about preventive measure and healthcare. After Tan Sri Muhyiddin implemented MCO, the media started to actively using the #stayhome hashtag to spread the awareness. The government of Malaysia come up with enough latest information to the public via the Official Portal of the Ministry of Health Malaysia, verified Facebook page named Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia posted about the Crisis Preparedness and Response Center (CRPC) and Telegram channel named CPRC KKM.

The Malaysia government also launched one application that can only used on mobile named MySejahtera in April 20202 to help all the users to keep track of their health progress, helping the authorities to collect the latest information, check in location and come up with the most essential and fast reply.

Now, if you ask me, i would definitely say yes. I do agree that social media is useful in spreading information on Covid-19 because through social media is the way that Ministry of Health Malaysia can reach out to the people since gathering is not allowed during the MCO period. People will depend on social media to stay connected with their family or friend and also to get the latest update regarding to health issues.

In view of the serried malfeasances of Putrajaya including the funding misappropriation of RM600 Billion for COVID-19 under the administration of Muhyiddin and the coercive vaccination launched the health ministry under Khairy Jamaluddin before 2023, the unconvincing monetary devaluation of Ringgit, the budgetary distortion of Anwar Government for the kleptomaniac administration of Malaysia associated with redundant incompetent public servants with malfeasances in particular the public health department, the public works department, the environment ministry, the infrastructure department and the poor hospital service should be impeached under the hearing of a royal panel to be headed by Agong for the scandalous indictment 2023. Other hearings should include the war petition of Mahathir for the restitution of Singapore to Malaysia and the divested sovereignty of Johor for authentic independence as reflected by the autonomous standpoint of Sultanate Johor and the crisis of disintegration associated with the untouchable territories in North Borneo and Sarawak or West Borneo where the hijacked sovereignty of Borneo should be unleashed for authentic independence amid the unstoppable federal embezzlement of public funding for unknown purposes which has tendered the incredulous ruling of One Malaysia without credibility in this inquiry. The actual momentum of Malaysia tends to reclaim the separated territory of Singapore where the war option to reaffirm the sceptical relationship of Malaysia and Singapore is necessary. However the departure of Johor for authentic independence is likely to veto the claim for the restitution of Singapore to Malaysia.

What to Expect: An Overview of Singapore's Mandatory Childhood Vaccinations

Embarking on the journey of parenthood is a deeply rewarding experience, and one of the most pivotal decisions you'll make for your child is ensuring they receive the necessary vaccinations early in their life.

Vaccinations for children are indispensable in shielding them from a myriad of diseases and illnesses that could pose life-threatening risks. In Singapore, vaccinations are mandated for children from shortly after birth, laying a sturdy foundation for a healthy, joyous life.

Understanding Childhood Vaccines

Childhood vaccines are formulated through five primary methods:

Live viruses: Comprising weakened viruses that do not cause illness but trigger the immune system. (e.g., Measles, Mumps, Rubella, Rotavirus, Varicella)

Inactive viruses: Rendered inactive using chemicals. (e.g., Polio, Hepatitis A, Influenza)

Virus parts: Fragments of the virus used to stimulate an immune response. (e.g., Hepatitis B)

Toxins: Extracted from bacteria and rendered inactive, transforming them into toxoids. (e.g., Diphtheria, Tetanus, Pertussis)

Conjugate vaccines: Coating part of a bacteria with a harmless protein to form a vaccine. (e.g., Haemophilus influenzae Type B or Hib, Pneumococcal conjugate)

When your child receives vaccinations, their body generates antibodies, fortifying their immunity without causing illness. As they age, their immune system becomes adept at thwarting real exposures to viruses or bacteria, preventing infections or mitigating their severity.

The Importance of Baby Vaccination in Singapore

Vaccines for children are vital for several reasons:

They shield your child from diseases that can jeopardize their health and well-being.

Vaccines can avert life-threatening complications associated with diseases.

They are proven to be safe and highly effective.

Vaccinations mitigate the spread of diseases within communities.

They save time and money by averting expensive medical expenses associated with treating preventable illnesses.

Vaccinations contribute to the immunity of future generations, safeguarding children against vaccine-preventable diseases.

Compulsory Singapore Childhood Vaccines

In Singapore, every child is mandated to receive vaccines from birth to ages 10 to 11, protecting them from vaccine-preventable infectious diseases by bolstering their immunity. The baby vaccination schedule is crucial for ensuring children's health and well-being. The Singapore Ministry of Health has outlined a childhood immunization schedule, detailing mandatory vaccinations for babies and children. This schedule serves as a reference for parents and healthcare providers to ensure timely immunizations.

Parents can opt for combination injections, amalgamating vaccines for 4, 5, or 6 diseases, enhancing convenience and efficacy. Common combinations include:

The MMRV vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella, and Varicella).

The 5-in-1 injection (Diphtheria/Pertussis/Tetanus, Polio, Haemophilus Influenzae type B).

The 6-in-1 injection (Diphtheria/Pertussis/Tetanus, Polio, Haemophilus Influenzae type B, Hepatitis B).

Side Effects of Vaccinations for Children

While parents may have concerns about baby vaccinations, the risk of serious side effects is significantly lower than the risk of vaccine-preventable diseases. Common side effects include mild redness, swelling at the injection site, fatigue, and low-grade fever, typically resolving within a few days. These side effects are transient and minor, while the protection provided by vaccinations is invaluable.

In Conclusion

As parents, it is natural to prioritize your child's well-being. Administering vaccines for children is a crucial step in safeguarding them against harmful infectious diseases. While the law mandates vaccinations for measles and diphtheria, other vaccines also play a crucial role in ensuring your child's overall well-being. If you have questions or concerns about additional vaccines, do not hesitate to consult your trusted pediatrician at SWC Medical Group. They are dedicated to providing guidance and information, empowering you to make informed decisions to keep your child happy and healthy.

Elevating Workplace Safety with Premium Safety Footwear in Singapore

In the bustling industrial landscape of Singapore, workplace safety stands as a paramount concern for both employers and employees. With numerous hazards present across various industries, ensuring the well-being of workers is non-negotiable. In this pursuit, the significance of premium safety footwear cannot be overstated. From construction sites to manufacturing facilities, these specialized shoes play a pivotal role in safeguarding workers against potential risks and injuries.

The Importance of Premium Safety Footwear

Safety shoes are not merely an accessory but a crucial component of personal protective equipment (PPE) in many workplaces. Designed with features such as reinforced toes, slip-resistant soles, and electrical hazard protection, they mitigate the impact of common workplace hazards. Whether it's heavy machinery, sharp objects, or slippery surfaces, premium safety footwear provides a layer of defense, reducing the likelihood of accidents and injuries.

In Singapore, where industries like construction, logistics, and manufacturing thrive, the demand for reliable safety footwear is consistently high. Employers understand that investing in quality PPE not only ensures compliance with regulations but also fosters a culture of safety within their organizations. By prioritizing the well-being of their workforce, companies demonstrate their commitment to occupational health and mitigate the potential financial and reputational costs associated with workplace accidents.

Meeting Regulatory Standards

Singapore maintains stringent regulations concerning workplace safety, and compliance is non-negotiable. The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) mandates the use of appropriate PPE, including safety footwear, in environments where hazards are present. Premium safety footwear not only meets but often exceeds these regulatory standards, providing workers with a reliable defense against various occupational risks.

Moreover, adherence to regulatory standards isn't just about avoiding penalties—it's about fostering a safe and productive work environment. By equipping workers with top-quality safety footwear, employers demonstrate their commitment to employee welfare while reducing the likelihood of workplace accidents and associated downtime.

Enhancing Comfort and Productivity

Contrary to common misconceptions, safety footwear doesn't have to sacrifice comfort for protection. Premium safety footwear is designed with ergonomic features that prioritize both safety and wearer comfort. Advanced materials, cushioned insoles, and breathable linings ensure that workers can perform their tasks comfortably throughout their shifts.

In Singapore's tropical climate, where heat and humidity are constant companions, breathable safety footwear is particularly valuable. Workers can remain focused and productive without discomfort or fatigue, ultimately contributing to improved overall efficiency and job satisfaction.

Choosing the Right Safety Footwear

Selecting the appropriate safety footwear is crucial to ensuring optimal protection and comfort for workers. In Singapore's diverse industrial landscape, where each sector presents unique hazards, a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't suffice. Instead, employers must assess the specific risks present in their workplace and choose safety footwear that offers adequate protection against those hazards.

Additionally, considering factors such as fit, durability, and compliance with industry standards is essential. Collaborating with reputable suppliers and manufacturers ensures access to premium safety footwear that meets regulatory requirements and exceeds performance expectations.

The Role of Innovation

Innovation continues to drive advancements in safety footwear, enhancing protection, comfort, and durability. From the integration of lightweight materials to the incorporation of advanced safety features, manufacturers are constantly striving to improve the performance of safety footwear.

In Singapore, where industries evolve rapidly and technological innovation is embraced, the adoption of cutting-edge safety footwear is integral to maintaining a competitive edge while prioritizing worker safety. Employers who invest in the latest innovations not only safeguard their workforce but also position themselves as leaders in workplace safety and innovation.

Conclusion

Premium safety footwear stands as a cornerstone of workplace safety in Singapore, offering protection, comfort, and compliance with regulatory standards. By prioritizing the well-being of their workforce and investing in top-quality safety footwear, employers not only mitigate the risks associated with workplace hazards but also foster a culture of safety and productivity.

In a rapidly evolving industrial landscape, where occupational risks are ever-present, the importance of premium safety footwear cannot be overstated. It is not merely a piece of equipment but a testament to an organization's commitment to its most valuable asset—its people.

In the pursuit of a safer, more productive future, premium safety footwear plays a pivotal role, ensuring that workers can step into their workplaces with confidence, knowing that their well-being is prioritized every step of the way.
