SINGAPORE, Oct 4 (Bloomberg): Singapore’s Trade Minister Gan Kim Yong, one of the co-chairs of a taskforce managing the pandemic response, defended the government’s messaging on the virus and said decisions are made collectively amid criticism over confusing signals on the country’s reopening plan.
Gan said it may seem that the ministers who head the taskforce are expressing different views on the pandemic as it reflects a quickly evolving situation on the ground. He called it "a mis-perception” that the taskforce has conflicting views, responding to a question on whether this reflects a split in the ruling party and wider society in Singapore.
