Liputan6.com, Singapore - Singapore is facing 63 new COVID-19 clusters as of Friday 30 July 2021, the Singapore Ministry of Health (MOH) announced.

Among them, a cluster with six cases involving the health pharmaceutical company Zuellig Pharma, one of the country's distributors of COVID-19 vaccines, the Straits Times reported, quoted from Asia One, Saturday (31/7/2021).

The other nine new clusters are linked to individual cases, the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes) said in an update.

The number of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) more than doubled to seven cases, from three the day before.

In total, there are currently 63 active clusters in Singapore, ranging between three and 999 infections.

The Jurong Fishing Port cluster remains the largest active cluster to date, with 999 cases.

MOH said the Henderson Crescent 105 cluster had been closed, after no more related cases emerged in the past 28 days.

Singapore reported a total of 139 coronavirus cases on Friday, including 131 locally transmitted cases and eight imported cases. There are 52 cases that are not connected locally.

Among locally transmitted cases are seniors over 70 who are partially vaccinated and are at risk of serious illness.

There are 571 COVID-19 patients who are still being treated at the hospital. Most are good and under observation.

This includes seven patients in critical condition in the ICU, and 26 cases requiring oxygen support.

Of these 33 cases, two were fully vaccinated. One requires oxygen supplementation while the other is in the ICU because they have an underlying medical condition.

The MOH said 23 seniors aged over 60 - of whom 22 were completely unvaccinated or partially vaccinated - had fallen very ill.

It says there is ongoing evidence that vaccinations help prevent serious illness.

"Over the past 28 days, 43 local cases required oxygen supplementation, were admitted to the ICU or died. 25 were not vaccinated, 16 were partially vaccinated and two were fully vaccinated," he wrote.

 

Case Decline

However, the number of new cases in the community has decreased from 961 cases in the previous week to 878 cases in the past week.

However, the number of unrelated cases in the community has increased from 83 cases in the previous week to 257 cases in the past week, MOH said.

The total number of cases here stands at 64,861.

Singapore Karaoke Guide Woman Claims Many Flight Attendants enjoy at Karaoke Places During Pandemic
Sun, August 1, 2021 9.01 PM

Liputan6.com, Jakarta - In mid-July 2021, Singapore reported 172 new cases of Covid-19 in the country, the number consisted of 116 infections related to the Jurong Fishing Port cluster and 20 cases related to the KTV (Karaoke TV) cluster. Who would have thought that the KTV cluster was linked to the flight attendants of that country's airline.

The pandemic period has changed everything, including the world of aviation. Many of the cabin crew, including flight attendants, have lost their jobs or are still working but only fly occasionally. During their absence, some of them are claimed to work in a number of KTVs as hostesses or guest guides.

 

"Actually there are quite a lot of S** girls working at KTV," said Amy-not her real name-about the alleged presence of a flight attendant as a karaoke plus plus guest guide in Singapore, as reported by Asiaone, July 30, 2021. Amy is one of the guest guide at a KTV.

This woman in her 30s revealed allegations about the airline's flight attendants to Asiaone, recently. He said that now it is commonplace to see flight attendants have a double profession, namely as guest guides at karaoke places.

Amy started working at KTV last January. He claimed to be invited and introduced by a friend. But what surprised him was the presence of the female flight attendants in the KTV waiting room.

He notices that these girls are treated as valuable commodities by KTV owners and subscribers. They are usually called

 

Singapore Girl or S** Girls.

According to Amy, inside KTV there are two waiting rooms. One for 'normal' Singaporean women and one for flight attendants. "S** girls have "usually higher rates than normal Singaporean girls," she said.

Amy adds, "If a customer prefers a S** flight attendant it means she has to maintain her standards. Similar to what she usually does as a flight attendant." However, AsiaOne was unable to independently verify that the flight attendant working at KTV was the airline's flight attendant.

Easy to Earn Money

 

The women who work in the KTV waiting room, apart from coming from Singapore, many also come from China, Thailand, and Vietnam. They are generally between the ages of 18 and 40. Amy saw the increase in the number of local hostess at KTV recently increased dramatically, from zero to more than 100.

This jump in numbers could be due to the lure of high income in a short time. A female guide can earn between 300 and 500 Singapore dollars or around Rp. 3.1 million to Rp. 5.2 million per night from drinking with customers for three to four hours. However, their job can be more than just karaoke guides.

"Their income overnight can reach 1,000 US dollars (about Rp. 10.6 million). If they want to go further to get extra tips they can offer a "secret service" outside of KTV," said Amy. As a single parent with two children to provide for, Amy admits that working as a KTV guide is the easiest way to earn money.

Plus, the hours are flexible and the working hours are shorter. He will try to entertain as many customers as possible in one night. Amy observes that guests can spend at least S$800 in a KTV room, some even spending up to S$7,000 or around Rp. 73 million.

Given how expensive it can be to spend a night at KTV, it's not surprising that regulars are equated with "company bosses or entrepreneurs who run their own business." Visiting KTV for most customers is an escape from reality or a problem at hand." They may not have a very good relationship. well at home and they tend to look for happiness on KTV," said Amy again.

Many nightlife outlets in Singapore are still closed since March last year, but some entertainment venues such as KTV remain open with a number of restrictions. Because of this, some KTVs are open secretly or illegally. Not only for karaoke, guests also usually gather with friends while eating food.

 

Covid-19 Cluster

"The place turned into a kind of bistro. If you visit KTV, now it seems mandatory to order food before doing other things," continued Amy. With the increasing number of visitors and the increasingly crowded KTV venues, this eventually led to the Covid-19 cluster that appeared in July 2021.

It is common knowledge that these karaoke outlets are also hotbeds for commercial sex workers (CSWs) to offer their services. The majority of these sex workers came from China and Vietnam who came to Singapore using a tourist visa for 30 days.

They are styled like maids, these women go back and forth from one room to the karaoke room to find a male target they will accompany. The Singpaura ministry said it was investigating the transmission among female flight attendants from Vietnam who frequented KTV karaoke venues. They also offer free Covid-19 tests for anyone who may have been exposed.

Singapore has yet to reopen KTV karaoke outlets and local authorities say places where the virus is spreading are operating as food and beverage outlets. Health Minister Ong Ye Kung said police would take strict action against violators. However, Ong said there were no plans to re-tighten Singapore's already relaxed restrictions, following the discovery of the cluster.

Even so, Amy thought it was unfair. "Everyone, including guides and customers, is responsible for this cluster. I still feel like this is something that could happen at any time," he concluded.
