Nonetheless, a troubling question remains, and it is this:
Why is work stopped for our soldiers, civil defence personnel and even SMRT workers while construction workers are expected to continue to work, even in PSI-400 conditions?
If “it’s not just about making money”, as Tan Chuan Jin says, then why could not the government issue a Stop-Work Order for construction workers – those workers who engage in heavy labour and manual work?
I’d posted this on Tan Chuan Jin’s Facebook page:
SAF cancelled all “outfield activities” to “ensure the well-being and safety of the soldiers” when the PSI hit 321.
“Other organisations here, such as the Singapore Civil Defence Force, reduced physical and outdoor training when the index crossed 100.”
And yet we are ok with construction (and other outdoor) workers working under PSI-400 conditions.
Safety of our workers is “paramount”, some ministers said. I fail to understand how this is so, given this disparity in how each group is treated.
