Although no news on they vaccinating the sex workers there. 
But who knows? Maybe all the sex workers converted to be tour guides. |
I'm not optimistic that Singaporean can travel to Batam for fun anytime soon. Indonesia government can open up Batam for Singaporean going there in April without quarantine requirement, but the problem is would Singapore government is willing to do the same or not. If Singaporean must serve 14 days SHN upon returning from Batam , what is the use ? Few people are willing to spend 14 days on SHN which cost $2000 just for 2 to 3 days trips. Singaporean who are vaccinated may be technically immune to the virus, won't get infection even expose to virus overseas or at least won't get seriously ill even get infected, but would the government allow Singaporean who have already vaccinated to travel and return without SHN or not still questionable. A minister has already spoken in public that leisure travel is unlikely within 2021. What i believe that main reason is the government is reluctant to allow Singaporean travel for leisure and spending their money overseas until large number of tourists have returned. In the past the government can tolerate large number of Singaporean going overseas and spending huge amount of money outside Singapore because there are over 200,000 foreign tourists spending their money in Singapore on any given day, although the currency outflow was great, but inflow even greater. Now foreign tourists are not coming and they won't come in anytime soon, if Singaporean are allowing to travel overseas freely for leisure, hotels and tourist attractions which currently depend on Singaporean spending will be hit even harder, even the 2 casino here are currently mainly depend on Singaporean gamblers. So thinking of going to Batam to enjoy, wait long long. Those ah pek may wait until the day they die or too weak to fuck girl still can't go.
