Visited the Ministry of Health, Singapore COVID-19 Case Management Task Group (CMTG) Operations Office yesterday. They administer the whole process for COVID-19 patients, from detection to recovery. This includes assigning patients to appropriate care facilities, arranging for transport, and briefing them on what they need to do, especially those who choose Home Recovery.

We now encourage fully vaccinated patients to recover at home wherever possible. This is less disruptive for them, especially if their symptoms are mild. It will also reduce demand for hospital beds, so that the seriously ill ones can get the treatment they need.

I know this is a stressful time for those with family members who have COVID-19. Some of you have written to me to express your frustrations, or question why MOH takes so long to get in touch after you or a loved one has tested positive.

The CMTG have a very demanding task. They operate 24/7 in a rapidly changing situation. Case numbers are still growing, and we are doing our best to scale up our operations, and make sure all patients are well cared for.

I would like to thank the CMTG for their dedication and tireless efforts. If we all work together, get vaccinated, and wear our masks properly, we can slow down the current wave, and get through safely without overwhelming our hospitals or suffering unnecessary casualties. – LHL

More shots from last night’s magical stage. It has been a rollercoaster experience, from the tireless days and nights of preparations to the actual show, we pulled through on our end, despite facing challenges and unforeseen circumstances. Sad to have learnt that so many didn’t manage to experience the show as it was intended, but I truly appreciate all the love, support and understanding from all of you! I still wish that our memories of Sanctuary Finale will be those of the excitement from the unforgettable moments we’ve created, singing along to familiar tunes and screaming “Sanctuary people are here!

昨晚絕美的舞台值得再來一波！宛如雲霄飛車般的旅程，期間遇上了不可預期的挑戰，充滿了無數個不眠不休的策劃籌備，到最終把成品呈獻給大家。看到好多朋友們的體驗不盡人意，很是難過，但我依然由衷感謝大家的支持與諒解，你們的愛我銘記於心！
你我共同為《聖所FINALE》終點站創造了好多難忘的瞬間與悸動，願熟悉的旋律能夠時刻提醒彼此 - 聖所的人，在這裡！

這樣的2020年，我們寫了一首這樣的歌——〈敬啟者 Dear Humans〉。

給所有活著、並期待或害怕末日來臨的人們。人們鑄下大錯、人們後悔、人們領悟、人們乞求著被世界原諒。但何不從現在開始？好好愛著那些該愛的，好好珍惜地球上的每一個生命、每一方土地。

這封信，給末日來臨時逃離地球的人類們。我們是當初曾與你們相伴，卻被獨自留下的寵物，是狗、是貓、是烏龜、是一株盆栽。

這次，請換你們聽聽我們說。

In a time like 2020, this is the song we wrote —— “Dear Humans”.

To all the living humans who expect or are afraid of the coming of apocalypse: People made big mistakes. People regretted making them. People admitted the wrongs. Now, people are begging to be forgiven by the world. But why not start making amends right away? Love those who deserve to be loved. Cherish every form of life and every inch of land.

This letter is written to the humans who left the Earth when the apocalypse came. We are the pets that accompanied you in the past, but then you left us here alone. We are dogs, cats, turtles and potted plants.

And now, please listen to what we have to say.

〈敬啟者 Dear Humans〉

放棄了的 進化了的
The abandoned, the evolved
你是不是仍然相信著當時的選擇
Do you still believe in the choice you made?

後來的 大象早就 學會遺忘
Before long elephants learned to forget
流浪的 北極熊也 在天上飛翔
Nomadic polar bears now soar in the sky
突然 一艘船 從天而降
A vessel dropped from the clouds all at once
狼狽的 沈重步伐
Plodding, trudging
你是否 就是早已離開的人啊
Are you the one who’s already left?

宇宙中 完美的家 你說那是無聊的謊
“The ideal home in the universe” You call this a tedious lie
眼前的 這片海洋 卻恢復原來的模樣
The ocean before our eyes has renewed, revived
為什麼 人類 渴望遠方
Why do humans thirst for the distance
卻 無法守護 腳下土壤
But fail to protect the soil under their stride?
你問我 該怎麼做 才能被原諒
You asked me what to do
To receive forgiveness

曾相信的 曾心愛的
Once believed, once beloved
現在的我仍然相信著當時的選擇
I still believe in the choice I made

我從來 沒有離開也不想要遺忘
I never left, I don’t forget
一輩子 都在這裡等待 著你回來
Waiting for your return with all my life
好想 告訴你 不用害怕
To tell you that don’t be afraid
放下所有的 後悔悲傷
Lay down all the regrets and sorrow
只要你 願意擁抱我們曾受過的傷
As long as you embrace our woes

偶然的 巧合 已開始流轉
Circumstantial, Coincidental, Circulation
那 隨機的 安排也不斷在變換
Random orders, tireless changes
淘汰的 願望 又回來了嗎
Is the eliminated hope rekindled?
曾 緊緊擁抱的 和深深愛過的
Once caressed, once cherished
未來的 還在 遙遠的未來
The future is still in the far-fetched future
而 過去的已經消失在過去了
Yet the past has vanished in the past
