SINGAPORE: The country's largest opposition party called for a thorough review of the government’s coronavirus response, citing public confusion over unclear communication and actions.

"There is the perception that the government’s handling of the Covid-19 crisis has certainly not included adjectives that are more commonly associated with the Singapore government, such as clarity and decisiveness,” Workers’ Party chief Pritam Singh (pic) said in a speech to parliament on Friday. He said citizens have the right to expect a "thorough review and accounting” of the government’s response.
