Many will not accept the cancellation of Chinese New Year, but I suspect some may actually be relieved.

Dear Mr Lawrence Wong,

Remember me?


We met when you were campaigning in Yew Tee Square during last year's election.

I was the joker who asked you whether you were going to cry in Parliament again.

You said no.

I didn't get the chance to thank you for not having me arrested for harassment.

Good times.

Don't worry. I'm not writing to you about your Ministry of Education's response to a transgender student's claim that the ministry interfered with her hormonal therapy.

I'm writing to you about something way less controversial.

I want you to cancel Chinese New Year.

But there's a good reason for it and not just because I hate giving out hongbao.

As you may be aware, there's a pandemic going on.

Remember last year, after Singapore had one confirmed case of the "Wuhan virus", we still carried on with Chinese New Year festivities like nothing happened?

How did that turn out?

We have had almost 60,000 cases and 29 deaths since then.

Businesses shut down. People lost their jobs. The Black Widow movie was delayed.

Even though we lohei-ed like we did every year, it clearly didn't work. Why do we keep doing it?

Don't you wish you could go back in time and start the circuit breaker before last Chinese New Year? How many cases could have been prevented?

On Friday, you announced that each household will be limited to eight visitors per day starting tomorrow, well ahead of Chinese New Year on Feb 12.

Did you decide on eight because it's a lucky number? How ox-picious of you.

But in light of the numerous breaches of safety measuresfrom the start, it's a given that covidiots will break the rules.

Some are already joking about gathering on the MRT where there's apparently no limit to the number of people.

COMPLACENCY
With the worrying increase of community cases recently, you warned of growing complacency and said: "For every rule we set, please do not try and optimise your maximum gain around the rule as though this is something that you could, you know, gain some additional benefit out of."

But you know people are gonna.

You said there would be random spot checks, but how would the checkers know whether the eight visitors in the afternoon are the same from the eight visitors earlier in the day or later at night?

Will the checkers monitor households for 24 hours?

Or will you just access everyone's TraceTogether data?

At best, you can catch people breaking the rules only after the fact. By then, the damage would have been done.

A post-Chinese New Year coronavirus spike is almost inevitable.

And that's why you should just cancel Chinese New Year.

That is, no visiting allowed at all. It would be so much easier to enforce. No counting required. At any time of the day, zero visitors per household.

Neighbours would snitch on each other. And knowing your neighbour would snitch on you, you'd be afraid to sneak in any visitors. Ownself check ownself.

Drastic times call for drastic measures.

Yes, I understand that many will not accept the cancellation of Chinese New Year, but I suspect some may actually be relieved.

No more annoying questions from relatives you see once a year about when you're going to get married or have children. (I'm married with kids, so I'm not talking about myself.)

You can save money on new clothes and hongbao. You don't have to stock up on snacks for visitors. Maybe just for yourself.

It could be the most stress-free Chinese New Year ever.

All this plus preventing the spread of a deadly virus?

I mean, how could you not cancel Chinese New Year?

And the great thing is that even if you cancel it, there'll be another one next year.

The annoying relatives will probably still be there too.

As co-chair of the Covid-19 task force, you know what to do.

I await your announcement at the next virtual press conference, which will be soon, I hope.

We all want the pandemic to be over as quickly as possible.

We don't want it to end with tears in Parliament again, do you?

Walk the red crab carpet

By Tourism Australia


Christmas Island 40 million of red crabs migrate to ocean for breeding
PHOTO: Christmas Island 40 million of red crabs migrate to ocean for breeding
Every year the roads through Christmas Islands become a "living red carpet" as millions of red crabs emerge from the forest and make their way to the ocean to breed, and one business owner has designed "crab-safe" car attachments to allow his staff to drive during the migration period. [2]

When the weather heats up in Australia, so does its wildlife. The warm summer months of December, January and February are a fantastic time to join a wildlife-watching tour to see some of the country’s most iconic creatures, especially as many of them have babies at this time of year. Get ready to say: “Aww”!

The traffic from the crabs is so dense it closes the island's roads and has become a tourism drawcard.
Owner of one of the island's accommodation providers, Chris Bray, said the sight was spectacular but it caused chaos for traffic. [2]

When: December
Where: Christmas Island, Western Australia

You won’t see anything like this anywhere else. Every year, when the first summer rains begin to fall, 50 million red crabs march, en masse, from the lush rainforest in the middle of Christmas Island (a 3.5-hour flight from Perth) down to the sea, where they mate and spawn in the world’s biggest beach party. It’s an extraordinary sight, with roads and pathways across the island transformed into rippling red ribbons of crabs that cover every obstacle in their path. There are even special crab bridges to help them get across the roads! The migration lasts up to 18 days, and it’s just as impressive when the crabs make their way back to their burrows in the rainforest post-beach-party.


The incredible sight, described as 'one of the wonders of the natural world'

Between 40 and 50 million red crabs live on Christmas Island and Mr Bray says the crabs know exactly where to go. "A lot of the roads just get so densely covered in this living red carpet, so national parks close them up for a couple of months to let the crabs do their thing," he said.

"They all have to congregate on the coast at the right particular phase of the moon and the right tide to be able to cast their eggs into the seas," he said.

"It's an incredibly well-synchronised event."

Mr Bray said if it rained too close to the spawning date and there was not enough time to migrate, the crabs held off migrating until the next month.

Crabmobile 'beats walking in rain'
Mr Bray installed 'crab sweepers' to his vehicle, which slowly bump the crustaceans out of the way, to help get through the mass movement of the red crabs each year.

"Everyone was like, 'How are you going to access the lodge when the crabs are migrating?' So, I built a crab-safe vehicle attachment," he said.

"You have to drive quite slowly, about the same speed as walking really.

"But it sure beats walking if it's raining or if you're lodge staff and you need to get supplies in and out."

Along with red crab traffic, visitors must be wary of some other crabby neighbours.


So many crabs.

"It's the robber or coconut crabs that sometimes come along and steal the guests' shoes," Mr Bray said.

"[If] anything that smells or has a smell on it, they'll come along and drag it into the jungle somewhere.

"Guests will wake up and be like, 'Where are my shoes gone?'. Sometimes you find them, sometimes you don't."

Christmas Island is an Australian territory in the Indian Ocean. Christmas Island Red Crabs are around 4.5 inches (11.6 cm) and commonly found in the island rainforests.
Renowned for their annual mass migrations of around 50 million crabs, they begin their journey to the ocean for breeding during the wet season in October-December. [5]

A single female can lay up to 100,000 eggs, they hatch as soon as they come in contact with the ocean.
PHOTO: A single female can lay up to 100,000 eggs, they hatch as soon as they come in contact with the ocean. Swarms of larvae are washed out to sea where millions of them become food for plankton eating filter feeders like manta rays and whale sharks.

After about a month at sea, the larvae will grow through several larval stages and develop into a prawn-like form known as megalopae. They gather close to the shore for one to two days and become what finally resembles baby crabs.

Measuring only 0.19 inches (5mm), billions of baby crabs make their way back to the rainforest plateau, eventually starting the cycle over again.

Christmas Island Red Crabs are scavengers, eating mainly fallen fruits, flowers and leaves, but also carrion (the remains of dead animals).

They are usually found hiding in burrows or under leaves to help conserve moisture – if the crabs dry out, they’ll die. [5]
