If they going to said in-sufficient, will  sure cause panic. A box of mask price is sky rocket to $100 by some greed seller.

Definitely we doesn't have enough mask during that time. That's why we trying to ship mask back from Taiwan produce by ST Engineering. 

You missed the point.

Mask isn't to prevent one from getting infected but on contrary minimise the chance of one infecting others. If a country don't even have an emergency stock pile of mask than somewhere somehow must be very wrong. As t that juncture; Hk, taiwan, japan even in china have already urging citizens to put on mask. 

Following order from the WHO which in itself already a mouth piece of china. Rename the wuhan as covid.👏 Slow in declaring a pandemic.

The profiteering of mask by unscrupulous vendor can be prevent by the relevant ministry just like how they do it with staple products. The government did stepped in eventually but only after panic were caused. Reactive imo.

Does it come foc anyway ? Bearing in mind "we raid our reserve" for the covid package which would includes mask, vaccine.

Ministers paid out from their own pocket? Nothing is free. Temasek mask free? Don't set me laughing.

Depends on the room, if the room has large windows or even a balcony that you can walk out. Maybe still can survive confine inside the room for 21 days?

But if dont have balcony and windows cannot be open, then staying inside the room with recirculating of aircon with no fresh air for 21 days quite torturous.

I doubt one can have a choice of hotel. 

The mental and physical aspects of a 21 days quarantine really not worth for 1 week Bkk holiday.

Most of the hotel room here are small and tiny. Not worth the 5 days holiday and need to quarantine 21 days. 

Wasting of leave, wasting of money and also affect mental health.

The emergency stockpile is for healthcare workers.

In Jan & Feb 2020, even private clinics has problems looking for mask then.

But most of the non-vaccinated people are patients and old people with existing medical conditions.

At least we kick Lam Pin Min out of SK GRC...

He’s back at Eagle Eye Centre to be an eye doctor again, doing well.

The one that 死赖着不走 is Ng Chee Meng. Because he can go nowhere.

If you are using disposable mask, it cannot be used for 1 whole day. 4 hours need to change.

I only use surgical/medical  mask, I will carry extra when went out.

This ng chee meng must continue to make his presence felt to people. So that he can come back in next GE. And hoping he can go back to parliament as minister again.
