本月27日,总理在总统府接受《海峡时报》等本地主流媒体访问。对于如何决定选举的时机。对此总理表示,他不排除任何可能。 “我们不能排除任何的可能性,我们不知(冠状病毒19疫情发展)会怎样。如果我们像英国那样全面封锁,没有任何人能出走(出门),那么要组织任何事情包括选举都很不容易。” 但他指出如果经济大致上还能正常运作,大家还能办公、工作组织事情,即便不能大群体群聚,但还是能“把事情办得来”,仍可以采取适当措施,调整一般举行选举的方式。例如现在有互联网、公众媒体,传播信息便利,是可以做到的事。 他也提及例如以色列也在疫情下举行选举,至于美国部分州属也进行了总统初选,“这些是可以办到、解决的事。” 不过,新加坡前进党秘书长陈清木医生,在上周六也列出那些因为疫情而选择展延选举活动的国家。其中包括美国至少八个州属的总统初选活动都被展延;北马其顿、叙利亚、斯里兰卡、塞尔维亚、北塞浦路斯和玻利维亚等国都已展延全国大选。 【以色列月初选举 今累计确诊逾四千】 全球至少28个国家已展延国内的选举活动。值得注意的是,以色列在今年3月初举行议会选举。截至3月2日,全国有10起确诊。但截至今本月30日下午1时,以色列全国累计确诊4千247例,死亡病例达达15人。 视频来源:总理公署youtube频道
冠状病毒19持续蔓延全球,在全球被疫情的乌云笼罩的当下,也正是需要正能量传播之际,英国籍男子Martin Vega受到英国#ClapforNHS启发,发起Clap For #SGUnited活动,呼吁所有居住在新加坡的人在周一(30日)晚上8点大声鼓掌,表示对前线工作者的感激和感谢。 目前旅居新加坡的英国籍男子Martin Vega表示,如今各国正在积极抗疫,但让他更自豪的是,狮城抗疫工作得到世举世认可。对于疫情透明度与每日的即时更新,都能让民众第一时间了解最新消息,彻底贯彻“与民抗疫”的成效。 然而,这些全赖于我国的第一线抗疫人员,包括医务人员、紧急服务人员、送货员、仓库员工、清洁工、超市工作人员以及为新加坡保持干净安全的人们。 受到英国近日发起的活动#ClapforNHS的激情启发,他表示,相信能够广邀新加坡人民一同参与活动,为日夜奋战的工作人员献上最真挚的感谢。 活动将于今日(30日)晚上8点,只要在你的窗户、门或者阳台上,大声鼓掌,为前线工作人员提振士气。 “想象一下,在新加坡,每个人站在窗前、阳台上,让响亮的掌声充斥着新加坡,向他们表达感谢,是多么生机勃勃的情况。” 目前已有3千877人响应,他也告诉著名生活杂志《Time Out》在新加坡发起活动的理由,“因为新加坡的社区意识总是让他吃惊”,因此他希望今晚医务人员也能体验到。 日前欧洲各地与美国,为了向前线表达感谢,发起#ClapforOurCarers运动,引起热烈的回应。 当时,各家各户在约定好的时间,站在窗前或阳台前,大声鼓掌,场面也相当壮观,许多艺人也纷纷加入鼓掌行列,希望感谢为辛苦的一线人员。 What an incredibly powerful moment and bringing us all together: The Clap...
