Our healthcare workers are still demanding an increase in wage of 45% or higher and managements have yet to move on it, thus the healthcare sector walkout on the 6th Jan continues. We call on all healthcare sector workers from doctors, nurses, hospital administrators, cleaners, security officers, etc to all stage a walkout on 6th Jan and join us on the picket line. We will be gathering at HLP to demand higher wage.

Free aerosol vaccine for all. None of the xbb crap but the most updated natural version.

[@perfectidle4824]

This is how it starts; exponential curve. Just a 2 week lockdown in the initial days can stop the chain easily; but they'll wait & then panic 😢

[@pehclark7256]

Again…… gee what is the common vector? Btw this is happening in Indonesia and Thailand too. At least they conveyance their assets here so only one family benefitted. High value low integration and take advantage at every opportunity people.

[@GASIA-cw8iw]

[@devildevil2271]
