Hehehe...we are talking about burning at least a mere S$10k for just ignoring the travel advisories for once by heading to Batam. And thats not counting if one got caught positive with the corona virus. I think unless one is a millionaire or billionaire, otherwise most people couldnt afford to travel, at least for now.

Thats what the Singapore government wants, right?

Yes agreed. You are right, that what they want.

They know singapore medical facility good and indo alot rich people, can can sg see doctor so they will purposly implement this to earn indo and cause inconvience to singaporean. One stone kill 2 birds.

From what was reported in the news, Spore is unlikely to consider to open its border with Indonesia (as a whole country) so soon due to the following reasons:

1) No. of tests carried out in indonesia is very low given a high population in the country
2) Measures carried out is insufficient, e.g. lack of safe distancing measure & education on covid-19
3) Lack of enforcement, can see sight of groups of people gathering together in many places
4) Has a extremely high fatality rate.
5) Medical supplies, equipment and capacity is insufficient..

Currently, the no. of cases in Batam is still growing and Batam still in red status...

Even though if Spore willing to consider the Riau islands (Batam,Balai,Bintan,Batu) separately from the mainland, the Riau governor will still need to take instruction from the federal garmen in Jakarta, therefore there will be many restriction or consideration involve.

Before spore open its border to another country, it will first consider the ASEAN countries first before considering the rest of the world.

The following are the few countries (except indonesia & philipine) that spore may consider lifting travel restriction :

1) Malaysia - Below are the reasons:

i) Msia is one of the highest recovery rate country in the world

ii) Close border early to prevent spread

iii) Do not allowed inter-state travel. E.g. Johorean not allowed to travel to Melaka

iv) Impose enhance CMO lockdown to those area which is infected badly or extremely high no. of cases

v) Strict enforcement on safe distancing, wear mask and many other precautionary measure. (Msia deputy health minister got fined for not wearing mask in one occasion)

vi) Set up road block to prevent unauthorised travel and set 10km limit

vii) The health ministry is monitoring very closely on the situation.

viii) Connected to its closest neighbour in geography, economics and ties of kinship..

2) Thailand, Myanmar, Brunei, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos - low no. of cases

3) Taiwan, Hongkong and China - low number of cases and good safety measures.

Taiwan - It has learn its lesson from the sars outbreak last time and now they have better knowledge than many other countries how to prevent the spread of the virus.

Hongkong - No doubt it is very densely populated, but hongkongers used to wear masks whenever they go, so the likelyhood to catch the virus is slim.

China - The garmen imposed very strict lockdown and strict enforcement in areas with large no. of cases.

Most importantly, the quarantine restrictions, countries may allow you to enter but lock you up in hotel room at your expense.....no body would like to travel this way....

You believe their gov checked everyone? Low rates? Even singapore gov so strict yet there are local case Everyday. In short there is no way to keep this virus out, until some cure or vaccine is found, if not it is almost impossible to shut this virus scare

[newyorker88]

And China( Hong Kong included after China took over), u think they are virus free? IMHO, liars . Their numbers don’t make sense

The girls in HY now thanked me for those face mask i brought to them.

Good to know that.

At least, you know they are as safe as possible now. No need to fight for mask or pay high price for them during the peak codvid period.

At this point of time, they should be back to hometown right?

Will have to see when Singapore/Batam is opening up, as i have lots of Batam trips in the pipeline....uncles and aunties were already grumbling about not being able to travel and were complaining about the lockdown (especially uncle curry rice and his family).

By the way, uncle curry rice, uncle coffeeshop and uncle dumplings still business as usual.

I am preparing to be very busy once this thing is over and be ready to keep "ourselves" every safest possible. Each Batam trip, carefully planned and organized to try to create the BEST possible fun for every individual/group.

For me, i just walk away from the crowd and crowded place, took off my mask and then smoke.

Most of the places i am at while in Batam werent crowded to start with. And during this period of epidemic, Singapore is like the Batam i visited few months ago (in terms of the number people in the street).

Leather-ed ones are too expensive to have. Not worth buying. Maybe can ask the seamstress in Batam to make one?

Those were bias studies.

I am sure smoking sure to have something good but the thing is, the bad under almost every human sight outweigh the good many fold hence those studies possibly ends up bias.

Malaysia
i dont think they close early because at critical time, they sure gathering inside palace for the appointment of new PM and at critical time their PM can play rota prata by resigning and become interim again.
They still have many illegial banglaka not sure is it tasted a not, number of recovery not sure accurate a not. raya they still can gathering

Indonesia
Big country not easy to control. Still take some time and way to go

Thailand & Vietnam
In fact i think both are doing quite well especially Vietnam waiting for restriction to lift to travel there again.

Taiwan and Hongkong
Hongkong. Need to alway depend on China. isist they do not belong to china. They manage well but what the point of managing well and every day also riot who will dare to go.
Taiwan, they did well but not familiar so no comment.
