If our leaders stopped making funding these bio weapons we would have normal virus . Last time I Hurd genacide was illegal
If our leaders stoped making these virus or bio weapons we wouldn’t have these pandemics . Last I Hurd genacide is a war crime . As for the W.h..o there pockets go down to there socks they helped China cover covid , and 3 of them worked for China
The members of the world must cooperate with each other to tackle the future pandemic might crop up. Hopefully, the world does not suffer anymore lives and financial loss.
Every nation can take either a defensive stance or an offensive stance. Singapore doesn’t have the luxury to wait for the pandemic to be over. Learn to live with it while taking every precaution.
Support Legislation in the USA to BAN COURT ORDERED RAPE!

To me, this pandemic hit the nail hard on population issues, global inequality and below average governance.
Exploitation of natural resources to the extend of encroachment into wild life and their natural habitat. Wild fire from global warming and rising sea temperature has cause devastation to wild life and sea life. We must stop polluting the air we breathe and the water we drink to prevent man made disease ie cancer and disease from new virus by encroaching on their natural habitat.
Also taught us to watch out for China. That country is not only irresponsible, it is a threat to justice
So Funny 3:05 asking for a Global Fund of $10B pa is like Dr Evil (in Austin Powers) asking for $1M as ransom from the world. US$1T is a more realistic figure. $10B won’t even pay the admin bill for an international organisation.
@mohd muzzy wow!
@clauz I hope I made ur day 😊
@saif deen That was last year’s news ie Covid coming from China, now India is the main incubator for Covid, what you see on international stats is just the tip of the infection rates.
@zzz zzz Don’t forget we need to Charge China 10T for starting all this BS.
@CV Hawkeye What I meant was //Poor economic migrants living in cramp dormitories from India, “China” and etc FDW from rural Indonesia, Philippines and “China” living cheek by jowl with locals // would be a better statement.
Decrease gold price it helps to increase jewellery sales in India.
What is “Memory ” ?
How does Memory work ?
Your entire Physical Body is made up of Memory. Be it your Skin Tone, the Shape of your nose, lips ,nose, eyes ears …….from your ancestry .
Memory is a fascinating Science.
Any Physical body , Animal, Plant species, rocks …are formed by “Memory ”
There is more memory in your Physical Body than in your Brain.
Kudos to Minister who has depth on the subject of Memory “impressive “
@zzz zzz
Can you elaborate.
All good vaccines should be treated equally. No preference for biased or chosen types when funded by common institutions.
great men in sg always tell the unvarnish truth… no sugarcoating, feel good altitute, tomorrow will be a better day…hide the unsavory n difficult stuff for next day….2 appease the public n get votes.. whilst citizens die….world reset… nothing is the same again..live with covid…survive best u can…gov. can only do so much with honesty n facts
It’s all planned. Get ready for the deception and counter moves.
Global funding for WHO should be funded by global companies with hugh economic activites . Their global economic activities to prospect natural resources for a energy starved world have contribute to climate change ,disease and pollutions. MNC must pay a percentage of their profit to fund WHO and countries with high economic activities that generate high CO2 into the atmosphere must pay for the environmental damage cause to wild life in our natural forest and warming of oceans and sea . We generaate wealth at the expense of the natural world will utimately suffer from man made disease ie cancer and new virus disease through our encroachment into wildlife and their natural habitat. Man have cause pollutions and disease while man made war have cause famine and poverty. WHO should be funded by MNC for their man made pollution ie plastics, nuclear waste and oil spills, forest fires from global warming..etc
Figure out this covid consist on poliyic finance aswell??
Vanakam Mr SM thanks for telling us ur advice.
Mutations. They go both ways. Some dangerous viruses do mutate into something no longer dangerous. This is a catch 22 area, no one considered in this pandemic, helping the virus to mutate into something not dangerous. The science is not exact, but worth a try along side efforts on vaccines & other areas.
They have yet to succeed with Influenza which has been endemic since 1918.
@G Ha influenza is a family group of viruses that come & go. Within, some strains have “disappeared”, hence mutating “naturally” or due to certain mechanics of “environment” interactions become “unreactive”. The 1918 thing called “Spanish Fllu” actually came from the US. It pilfered out on its own after a lethal streak in tens of millions. US CDC dug up bodies to get samples to study & bioweaponised it. Put it this way, the “spores” even dormant are deadly. If allowed to interact, this old virus can mutate to be again bad.
My point is virus can go in the depleted direction. We cannot wait until after 55million deaths. Even at basics, some efforts be put to change the direction of its evolution in the non dangerous direction.
I am worried about our current mRNA vaccine efforts. Vaccines are best for stable viruses. This is dangerously unstable. Almost, it’s like we cannot vaccinate for one virus while a different sister virus is the new culprit. Basically, we do not know what virus given mutations, we are dealing with. Everything else, is just politically correct human answer on an emassed scale. Deadly viruses with Humans as food do not give a damn for human rights.
Life goes on whether there are new pandemics coming or not. Just stay happy and be a good fighter all the time.
keep ur immune system in good order and stop eating junk food will save u from death from covid.
Sometime being happy is really the least we can do. How can someone stay happy if their gov is not doing a good job. We r not living alone, we r all linked to one another.
@Phantom Hantu We are better off than the rest of our neighboring countries. Great to be Singaporean.
The interviewer assumed that there is a cover-up.
@zzz zzz ?
And Shunmugam has nicely ignored her question. He smart.
@class6aa shunmugam????
@class6aa all Indian look like shammugam
@Des Chan And all Chinese look like who? They all look the same..
Rude right what i said? Next time don’t say such things
maybe he should explain how to prepare singapore for next pandemic, densely populated country, efficient and crowded public transport is the best way to spread the virus.
Keep importing migrant labours and house them in cramp dormitories is the economic success story of Singapore regardless of covid or influenza. making money and built 99 yr leasehold apartments because we r all going to die sooner is better than later.
The world is coming to an end.
Mr Tharman for next PM!
Tharman for next PM!
Talker !!!!
Only if he is not part of the Ruling Party.
He is not the shade of White they are looking for but having him overseeing MAS is far vital as Singapore is being a lackey to China n their nonsense!
Before all this, please ask WHO why they so actively suppress HCQ before and now Ivermectin.
India sudden Covid surge and then sudden alleviation could be due to deployment of Ivermectin, ask this serious question please.
Unless you can prevent idiots like Trump, Bolsonaro and Modi from gaining political power, you cannot stop the next big pandemic. These guys and their supporters don’t know shit even it hits them smack in the face! The real pandemic is already here. The pandemic of stupidity.
The next pandemic threat could be the Zika virus. The new outbreak is predicted to occur in south Asia.
Yup disease X
CPF HDB COE GST GROCERIES
Small issues compared to the Next Pandemic.
@blackapple89er they are small until you add them together and see the big hole in your pocket.
Much worse during any pandemic for sure.
@Jerome S cpf and hdb had caused a lot of financial problems to the citizens…..cannot this cannot that….see mp you go see cpf hdb….answer from cpf hdb….see mp pm president….or its cpf law or hdb law….ultimately they see ah longs and thats when the spraying and harassing start….65year old to 72 year old got this cpf hdb problems
@Tony Kwok I have to agree that this takes a toll on the elderly who then fall prey to the scams of money lenders who operate on their naïveté. Either way, they are screwed big time.
It took 3 wks to ascertain an unknown virus and under two wks to share the genome sequencing with the world. China has done her best and took measures out of this world to contain it. If the interviewer thinks this is a coverup then I think she ought to walk the talk. It’s easy to criticize and politicize the matter.
“Next pandemic could come at any time”
Say might as well don’t say.
I also can tell you this ” the stock market is either going to go up or down”
*face palm*
When he mentioned “Next Pandemic could come anytime ” ; he is hinting that everyone should be well prepared for another crisis and not be caught off guard. To place it in a similar context ( since you are trying to be a stock market guru), it is akin to telling you that you should have adequate emergency funds set aside should there be a crash in the stock market and you happen to be laid off.
I hope your pea brain is able to digest whatever i’ve just delivered on your plate 🙂
@M L please use your brain. Do you think it’s necessary to tell people the obvious? Maybe you have a hard time engaging your common sense. Fret not! You can always sign up for skillsfutures you know 😉
Finally someone is making sense
We can’t afford to play a catch-up every time
Where is the interview conducted? Anyone.
Venice G20 summit
Good vision , but who can to fund first ? How much % , base on GDP each nation in % ?
😂
I like how he is speaking Buffet’s language. Bloody puppets
Singapore should start preparing for Delta +.
We are aware of Delta Plus and also Lambda the variant which is rumored to be able to “evade” vaccines.. we are also in touch with Pfizer on the potential need for 3rd dose or booster shots and is probably ready to order it.. and also have already placed orderd for the soon to be approved Nova vax vaccine estimated due in year end
Good common sense.
Mr Tharman Sir, Singapore and Singaporean needs you now. Please be our next P.M. Singapore needs a good,honest,full of wisdom and can lead Singapore and Singaporean out of this mess.
@Des Chan
So what you take on things???
@Des Chan
I do agree he can do nothing much as long as he is part of the Ruling Party but the 2G n 3G did their part.
You need to be part of the system in order to Change it.
I am not into any political party.
I base my assessment on the person who have the Interest of Singapore n Singaporeans.
Being Humane n Having Compassion is a good start in the right direction.
Right now the country just going down like the Titanic as the ones in Office still bowing down to Foreign Powers n Entities while serving their interest.
I know as a small nation we need to play nice with Everyone but selling out not it.
So he is a far better bet than what we have right now.
@Shiela Tee My take? Which aspect?
@Khishal Assudani cant list any?
@Khishal Assudani Alright.😁 Let’s see how Tharman performs as PM of India for just one term after Modi steps down. If he’s good, we will certainly consider him to be Spore PM.
Suspicious of his suggestion and idea to work with World Bank and IMF. Is he speaking for some one else?
He’s an ex-chairman of the IMFC. So, no.
Ask US to pay their outstanding debts to UN and other international organisations first. Shame on them. The richest hegmon in the world and unwilling to pay their bills on time and for yrs. The WTO cannot function because they block the appointment of the WTO judges.
This world is so unfair. US alone create so much problems for the world, imposing sanctions, killing ppl in the ME, threaten and disrupted the working process of the international organisation…. Yet no western countries dare to even mention a bit about US actions. All they know is to collaborate to beat up China in terms of tongue lashing, lambasting and sanctions. Even if they do that, i hope these Western powers just drop their pretence and stop acting as if they care about democracy and human rights. They themselves have no human rights as millions were kill due to their neglect, incompetence and lack of discipline.
There exists nanobiotechnology for biodefense against micropatasites or deadly bacteria or GOF viruses or weaponised microbes but no is interested. So, you can talk until your head comes off. The politics of treatments and illegal creation of chimeric viruses for vaccine potential and patenting of invented viruses is the most dangerous part of the pandemic. However, rest assured there exists treatments for GOF viruses and their emerging variants.
If you can manage to collective or globalise health issues, then you will have to globalise
everything else: meaning food costs, wages, open travel, education. But whose
standards prevail?Who dictates: the wealthy or the large or populous countries.
Just pure academic dreams that will not materialise for a long long time. Selfish????
Fear not for what we can’t see nor avoid, face it with courage and dignity.
It’s pandemics…or man made…pandemics…must find the root cause…and isolate…the source…if not human life will become miserable…
Well said, provided the other countries support the idea.
If Tharman cannot be Singapore PM for whatever reason, then I would suggest he runs for the chairman of World bank or WHO for the global well-being.
PM shouldn’t be just talk and no action taken, like some people
He already holds the chair of G20 on the IMF and previously on the IMF-C – via Tharman Shanmugaratnam wikipedia page:
“Tharman led the G20 Eminent Persons Group on Global Financial Governance which in October 2018 proposed reforms in development finance and the international monetary system to advance a new, cooperative international order. He earlier chaired the International Monetary and Financial Committee (IMFC), the IMF’s key policy forum for four years. He was its first Asian chair.”
Herd immunity?
He is practically preparing for the sky to fall one day….🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
WHO?🤣😂🤣😂🤣 It is the reason there is global pandemic now? Is he sleeping?
Just another talker !!! Which in abundance in S Govt. Real solid doer (like Dr Goh Keng Swee) is serious lacking.
Talker?? He is one of the best I have seen so far in Singapore. What about you, just a keyboard warrior?
@WLS best? List down what has he done?
@Des Chan the list is too long…no time. You go Google…easier.
@WLS just list 1
@WLS cant even list one? 🙂
Global surveillance??? Isnt it WHO role and responsibility? 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 The question for this corona pandemic, it is not the surveillance problem, rather the pandemic started in an enclosed ,absolute control, dictatorship country where everything is not transparent
This is the end of high economic activities in Singapore as this virus prey on high intensive labour industries and high migrant labours imported from rural areas in the region. Look at India and Indonesia and you will understand the high movement of migrant labour into urban cities have cause this virus to spread. There will be new virus and new pandemic because human thrives on high economic activities to generate growth in the economy . This is how Singapore was built during the colonial era ie with imported cheap migrant labours from low economic countries in the region. The great Singapore success is no different from the British empire . Shame to tell you there is nothing unusual in the way PAP achieve its success in Singapore . Importing wealthy investors to settle into Singapore with low corporate and personal taxes is also not unique in the colonial era. The only different the great Singapore success is truly great is because of its young population and leaders. As the population aged and the replacement with professionals and wealthy investors will create a new meritocracy class of entrepreneurs and talents capitalising on cheap migrant labours and natural resources in the region to manufacture and export to global demands. Why Singapore must contribute % of their GDP to WHO because it contribute to this pandemic through its economic activities in the region otherwise these countries in SEAsia will no longer be able to function if the population is suffering from this virus. If it is not covid,it could be influenza ie H1N1 or SARS or TB or Pneumonia or measles or dengue fever ?
Why did they waste time interviewing him? Seriously…sigh
camera is slightly out of focus…
PM material but didn’t become PM… what a waste. hope it is not due to the race card
go to hell with ur deep state plandemic
another fauci
Covid-19 : oh I see, you want me to come now, alright, wave 5 is coming, wahahahaha!!!!
The alert system for deadly virus is there under the WHO. If not because of China cover up on COVID-19, it would not hv spread so far and wide
Govt still clueless about pandemic. 1st, Pandemic is an air borne virus. Keep air clean and disinfecting the air borne virus. Produce natural disinfect solution, spray the air so the air is clean. Tea tree or sandalwood oil mix with water, spray the indoor area. Or Disinfect Solution 99.99%. 2nd. Citizen’s Basic Income Endownment Fund to survive the long term food and utility cost without jobs on long lockdowns 3rd. Pandemic can gradually last 5 years period. – Covid near 2 ysars lock down still on going but not at red but stills drags on.
Agree Tharmin can lead WHO or other global organisation
Pls.pray the rosary to free all countries from war, diseases, calamities, hunger, corruption, drugs, prostitution, abortion, divorce, vices and all evils.pls pray for peace and joy in all families and home.
1:30 Preparing for “FUTURE PANDEMIC” deemed by the “EXPERTS” Moving away from a system of providing finance on a bilateral system, towards investing collectively toward global Public “GOOD” also Deemed by the one in power the “EXPERT” which is WHO. If they say you must vaccinate you must vaccinate. Even if you have allergies. This New World Order, Global Government, Global Fund Control by the few decided by the few, detached away from democracy without all of the common people’s notice. For the Global good decided by only by the few. Ok Good Luck.
4:40 Global Surveillance System total control from top down by the few. If they say you need to be vaccinated you need to be vaccinated. “FOR THE GLOBAL GOOD”
THERE IS NO HERBS, THERE IS NO NATURAL RESOURCE, THERE IS ONLY 1 SOLUTION FOR ANY PROBLEM, GLOBAL FUNDED WHO. SOUND like INSANITY
This Conspiracy name calling needs to stop. We are free to think, to debate, to improve. Stop calling peaceful critical thinkers Conspiracy Theorist. Without Critical thinkers there is no Debate and there will be no true Democracy and no true science. There will be no Global Good if only the few organization on top decide what will be.
👍😊
what bull the pandemic is control and china
An intelligent answer but not a wise answer.
Endeed!
Educational!
Well explained, to the viewers to understand the process of viruses and infections.
hopefully the suggestions and advise given would be apply Globally to prevent further infections and losing lives.🙏
it is sad to see cnbc hosting shanmugaratnam or likes who support and lobbies support to the international monetary bank systems, when in fact they are one of the main causes of third world countries & main enabler of economic slavery and dependency. People like this guest and stations like CNBC who lack interests in helping and supporting the poor are the new wave of colonist and selfish business entities. I think we can still develop with justice, and we can develop GREATLY.
I got goose bumps just listening to him talk sense. This is the kind of leader I want for Singapore. I would gladly vote for PAP if he was PM.
PAP is what that got us in this sorry state. PAP has been in power for far too long.
He is the true PM in my heart…or President.
Should be said with a “Pandemic mindset”, not “Memory”
This minster i respect the most !! Respect 👍
I used to think that people who said this “pandemic” was just the elites trying to reset the global reality were a bunch of wackos. I think this conversation proves they are right. A global governance? Everyone must participate, etc. Very scary stuff. This was all caused by the Chinese Communist Party not bats.
Tharman should have rebutted the CNBC interviever presumption of cover-up in the way she phrased the question. This is typical Western MSM biased reporting.
Singapore best of the best with an IQ above 200.
Long life to you sir. 2021
A good government is based on honesty , super smart , no corruption in his mind, always put our people first and FT second ,
release full cpf at 60 years old, make hdb & medical affordable
plan 10 years ahead & have 2 trillion in reserves .Can the next pm do it ? I think it is Not an easy job . 2021
This pandemic hasn’t end. Talking about next pandemic ???
Did you even watch the video?
Please do as you say. 👏
Many countries stock up military hardware for defence. One trillion will not be enough. Production of Food and vitamin D supplement please.
Where is this place. Why so many Boat ⛵ship so beautiful 😍💖😍
Venice! G20 meeting. He went together with Lawrence Wong.
@Ruth Tan wow, so enjoyable awesome 👍😍❤️
But didn’t see rescue tryre there, if can put more will be more awesome 👍😍❤️ more beautiful 😍💖😍
Let’s enjoys the scenery and have coffee ☕ with sandwich 🥪 handsome 🤩 mp. So admire you 😍❤️❤️ at there. Hahaha 🤣😂🤣 enjoys and home 🏘️ Singapore safety and healthy too.
Whether vaccinated or protected or not, one had to go.
Death would still conquer everybody life.
That is life.
A 100-year flood, by reasoning, has a real probability of 1 after the 99th year. The probability only becomes high enough after the 70th year. That is why 100year flood will occur once, between 70th and 115th years. Real science of nature.
We are in the midst of a pandemic, which is not even over. Yet this man here, speaks of the next pandemic in 1, 10th or 20th year. There are 3 possibilities that I can think of, from his eagerness to this proclaimation.
1) He is dumb and don’t know how science or math works. But he is a top financial elite.
2) He knows something that we don’t.
3) He is an opportunist who wants to strike fear, and at the same time suggest a pooled pot of money from nations. Of course, probably poor and populous countries like India and Indonesia will be included. How is the money used exactly we do not know, but according to him, it will run at the magnitude of multiples billions of US dollars.
My brain hurts and couldn’t think of the 4th possiblity.
You can think it up for yourself 🙂
How can you predict the New Pandemic.
If you are predicting than does it mean are you Creating ?
