疫情当前 黄永宏:政府将与企业、工会合作 确保裁员在最低水平

明日(2月15日)是全面防卫日(Total Defence),纪念新加坡1942年在第二次世界大战中沦陷,遭日军占领。我国国防部长黄永宏医生发表演说,称有信心国民将再次团结一致,克服当前挑战。 由于当前全球各地和新加坡都面对严峻2019新型冠状病毒疫情,致词中也谈及疫情的影响。他相信我国能和2003年应对SARS疫情一样,透过全面防御来遏制疫情传播,让新加坡继续迈进。 他说当年疫情导致各地人民都怕被感染、待在家不出国,旅客人数减少,经济陷入瘫痪。也因为如此,一些人失去工作,裁员人数上升。 “在一些国家,上述恐惧造成不信任和分裂人民。但在新加坡,我们透过全面防卫保持团结,克服SARS而更为凝聚和壮大。” 他也对那些受疫情影响的受害者和家属致哀;对前线医护人员致敬。 他表示疫情当前仍需确保经济运转保障国民就业和生活,政府讲与企业和工会合作,确保裁员在低水平。包括内政团队、我国武装部队都在确保边境安全和国防不松懈。 他说我国去年把数码防卫加入全面防卫的六大支柱中,他认为这对于对抗虚假或煽动消息是“及时、必要的”。 黄永宏表示全面防御将再次针对疫情展开行动,在社会防卫方面,他呼吁每个人都应保持良好卫生习惯,若生病应与他人保持距离。如出现咳嗽或其他流感症状应避免传播给他人。 “与此同时大家应保持同理心,帮助那些被感染或隔离者。”他说我们也需加强心理防御能力,采取明智预防措施,也如常生活。这包括勤洗手并避免洗手前触碰脸部。
