The vicious lies being spread by the "Alternative Media" during the Zika outbreak

Here are just some of the blatant and vicious lies that are being spread by the "alternative media".

The Independent SG tries to smear the Govt by falsely claiming that NEA will not help WP MPs. 

Look at rubbish site The Alternative Media spreading lies about how MOH & NEA not taking actions when they know about the zika infection a month back (31st July)! Now they want our Ministers Gan Kim Yong and Chee Hong Tat to resign because of the "lapses" and due to the Zika epidemic?

FACT: MOH & NEA only knew about the zika infection after that backtrack the cases when the Doctors at the GP had their suspicion after a spike in fever cases on the 22nd Aug!

So what lapses are they talking about when it only take them 6 days to backtrack and test to confirm there were 41 Zika cases in total on the 28th July? And to also resign because Zika has reached our shores which is totally unpreventable?

Come lim peh clap for you!

Alex Tan claims that our Minister Ong Ye Kung have zero medical training yet able to conclude that Zika is a mild illness? Alex Tan is stupid? Does the minister need conclude anything when Doctors and experts have already confirmed that Zika is indeed a mild illness with shows mild symptoms or even no symptoms when infected?

"If I don't make the people angry, they won't vote for me." This is essentially the opposition's strategy at getting votes. What best time to apply this strategy than when there is a health scare: Zika outbreak.

Instead of standing together to allay fears and boost the public confidence in our public servants combatting the outbreaks, these overnight health experts chose to misrepresent the timeline of events, spread false information, and raise questions that cast aspersion on the integrity of the the public servants.

Their attempts can create public alarms, a frustrated public can get angry and lose confidence in the public servants doing their best to safeguard Singaporeans well being. This makes the public servants job more difficult that it is already.

Spread false information: when CSJ asserted that first case was 31 Jul when 31 Jul is actually just a postulation. It makes it seems that the govt knew of Zika at least a month before announcing it. Pic: FAP
