Hallo. There are people still gung ho n went exercise in group defying MCO in Msia. What excuse can they have? As for tat selfish sillyporean, watever reasons or excuses he had for defying the authority and visit Batam again, he is putting the public at large in danger. So we have to listen to his 180° or 360° angle is it?

Why u never listen to your PM ya? Wear mask only when ur sick. Wearing mask would not protect u fm the virus. Make the habit to wash your hands with soap often. Tat may help. But best stay home and avoid crowd if possible lah. Ppt kana confiscate and "house detention" 14 days. Bo hua lah

Now wanna run into Batam and come back to a SHN order of 14 days also impossible liao...

Yep, and they actually use many so-called big head to sit on a table to discust and then implement water rationing at the wrong time. And now, eventually call it off.

Wastage of tax payer's money, the time use to save people plus defer-ing to keep people healthy in Batam.

Current market rate for surgical mask would be about S$0.50 a piece, anything higher is carrot price. You might probably see lots of fake made-in-china masks where countries like Spain, Italy, Holland etc rejected flooding online.

I mainly trust Japanese, Indonesia, Vietnam, Korea and Taiwan product for now.

Yesterday saw in the news that there is a new spray thingy...hehehe...

Now, the SDST spray thingy can no longer be purchase as they were all sold out. Let the guinea pigs try them out 1st to see what happen.

If there is anything i learn in this pandemic in regards to my FUTURE Batam plan. It would be NEVER to rent all my apartments and HDB flat out leaving myself nowhere to stay when i NEED TO come back.

Must at least leave behind a room,hehehe...for any "just in case" situation.

Just an update, i just purchase the Horizon ferry ticket with an almost infinity expiry date using the coupon/voucher.

Price i pay :

1. S$28 (tax and all the prevailing charges)

2. Waste of my time (becos Horizon ferry change their operation time from 7am to 7pm daily), and i was there on 31st March 2020, 715pm.

But after having wasted my time, i also learned that expired ferry coupon/voucher can still be use to purchase the physical ticket. As for how long one can use the expired voucher/coupon to do so, i do not know as the staff/s there also cannot answer me.

I use the expired voucher/coupon on 3rd April 2020. They allow me (us) to do it more because of their change in operation hour.

End of April 2020, then i decide if i would start converting my April 2020 expiring voucher/coupon.

Just doing a bit of "farming" for now,hehehe....

I agreed with this.

Technically, no countries has took the epidemic seriously until there is a widespread in US and Europe. Not even WHO.

Now nothing much to do, but still i am working on creating the Formosa room environment in my later Batam trip,hehehe...

The epidemic just gave me that "push" with some of the tools that truly impress me.

Sg gov finally stop discourage public from wearing a mask. I'd say, it's a choice now.

Now u will see a further surge in surgical mask pricing.

Let's just hope for all the well being of Batam (as well as in Sg).

I am afraid that you (we) will have to wait a long time, until a vaccine is found (?) and the epidemic debellated. A long time with many deads. Without vaccine, no way we can go back to our normal life, including travels and our hobby.

So, 2020 will be a milestone in World History because of COVID-19 AND because a massage place was found in Batam doing extra services undercover. Spectacular job by Indo Polisi

screenshot taken last week

If Indonesia authorities keep its denial going and their ministers keep working on their own and refuse to work with one another.

Now, thats my definition of "worrying part" came...

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/exclusive-...185834689.html

When a spike in mass death rate that went unreported (if it's corona-virus-related).

When i see this type of news, heading to Indonesia aka Batam, is definitely a no no. It's bad...

Looks like during the circuit-breaker period, price is mask is going up to its highest.

Lucky for me, i am well-stocked up on face mask since before my last Batam trip during March 2020.

Come to think of it, i still hasnt shared anything on my last Batam trip,hehehe...
