A Singaporean mother took to her Facebook on Tuesday (3 December) to slam Jewel Changi for the double standard treatment that her son got, as opposed to a local celebrity’s child.
Kailin Ng said that her son was not allowed to enter the snow walk as he wore a pair of sandals, which was deemed “improper footwear”.
However, her son, Aden’s, sandals were similar of those adorned by a Singaporean celebrity DJ’s son a few days later. She said that the DJ’s son was granted access to the snow walk.
“Went to Jewels a couple of times by now, was attracted to the beautiful landscape and lightings within the mall and to know that they added extra features to the canopy walk was a bonus,” Ng wrote.
She added, “Brought my excited Aden along, but was denied entry to this part of the park, ‘the snow walk’ due to improper footwear. Aden was wearing sandals (like below). Lucky for me, Aden was understanding. He left that part of the walk saying to me ‘it’s ok, I’m still happy’”.
However, Ng said that not allowing such footwear in the walk did not “baffle” her as much as seeing a picture of the DJ’s son at the very same walk a few days later.
“What baffles me is not that such footwear is not allowed to the walk, but the very next couple of days this picture of Singapore celebrity DJ was posted and her son was allowed entry for the very reason why Aden was not allowed,” she noted.
As such, she asked if the “rules are not strictly followed” or if the rules are only applied to “common folks”?

In the comment section of Ng’s post, she noted that she got in touch with the management of Jewel Changi regarding this incident and is yet to get a reply from them.
TOC has also reached out to Changi Airport for their comment on this matter.
Many netizens also slammed Jewel Changi for their special treatment, and stated that Singapore has two sets of rules and regulations, one for commoners and the other one is for elite and celebrities.
 


Others questioned the double standard, while one netizen added that people should not visit Jewel Changi Airport due to the way they treat people. Eugena Lee wrote, “Keep promoting them when they don’t even give a damn of how they wanted to treat you like shits from the start!!” 
A bunch of them also demanded Jewel Changi to provide them with an answer for this case.

曾患SARS医生分享经验 “戴口罩保护自己和他人”

迄今我国的新型冠状病毒(简称:新冠)确诊病例已累计24起,民间为预防疾病传播,口罩瞬间成为“抢手货”。不过,曾经感染过严重急性呼吸综合征(SARS)的传染病专家梁浩楠医生指出,戴口罩能保护民众免于感染,而佩戴手术口罩更能保护自己和他人。 在伊丽莎白诺维娜医院任职的梁浩楠医生于1月28日,接受91.3电台主持人王舒佳及“荷兰飞人”(The Flying Dutchman)的访谈时,谈及这令人闻之色变的传染病,包括国人所能够采取的自我保护措施。 截止今日,新冠病毒全球感染人数已超过两万人,超过2003年爆发的SARS病例,世界卫生组织宣布全球性公共卫生紧急事件,更为缺乏医疗应对能力的国家感到担忧。 接触首批SARS患者被感染 梁浩楠指出,新冠具有非常高的致病性、极强的毒性,且传播速度非常快,导致疫情比SARS来得严重;相对的,SARS的死亡率更高,单单是我国,就在三个月内被夺走了33条人命。 他在2003年SARS病毒袭击时,到纽约参加了一次会议而被感染了,当时32岁的他,在会议期间发烧,以致他在乘搭飞机返回新加坡的途中,在德国法兰福克被拦截,被迫在隔离病房中待上两个半星期。很显然的,他是在陈笃生医院接触到首批SARS病患时,感染到病毒。 他记得当时是SARS刚刚在我国境内传染开来的初期,即2003年3月初,当时人们对该传染病知晓不多。 他在2015年接受《新报》访谈时曾表示,自己都不知道是否能够活到第二天,感觉生命转瞬就会“离去”。 “我国预防措施充足” 惟,他认为,和SARS时期相比,我国明显已经做好应对新冠侵袭的准备。“新加坡确实,已经做好准备。SARS时期后,很多措施被记录在案,我们有考虑到很多层面。”…
