In Jalan Besar GRC, a political battle is on the cards with Peoples Voice (PV) chief Lim Tean not holding back in his words against Josephine Teo, the Minister of Manpower and his People’s Action Party (PAP) opponent in the constituency. 

In his Constituency Political Broadcast today (July 5), Lim went as far as to lay the blame of Covid-19 infection rates among Singapore’s migrant workers at Teo’s feet. 

”[Josephine Teo] is singularly responsible for the great explosion figures of Covid-19 cases in the foreign worker’s dormitories,” Lim declared. 

“Today, we have been described as one of the greatest failures as far as the Covid-19 is concerned.” 

Speaking by himself on behalf of his PV team, Lim dug his heels into the minister’s handling of the pandemic. Teo is one of the members in the Multi-Ministry Taskforce established to handle the coronavirus situation in Singapore. 

Proclaiming that Singaporeans “would not have stood a chance” if Covid-19 had been a bioweapon, Lim remarked that Teo “did not care or she was careless” in managing the Covid-19 outbreak among foreign workers living in dormitories.
