1
00:00:00,083 --> 00:00:02,666
...since Singapore began implementing
2
00:00:02,666 --> 00:00:04,875
stricter safe distancing measures,
3
00:00:04,875 --> 00:00:07,541
otherwise known as a Circuit Breaker period.
4
00:00:08,083 --> 00:00:11,625
Authorities have had to impose the measures quite stringently,
5
00:00:11,625 --> 00:00:14,791
raising penalties after people began flocking to hotspots
6
00:00:14,791 --> 00:00:17,083
like parks and wet markets.
7
00:00:17,333 --> 00:00:20,166
But was it simply a case of needing more time
8
00:00:20,166 --> 00:00:22,208
for the rules to sink in?
9
00:00:22,208 --> 00:00:24,625
Cheryl Lin hits the streets to find out.
10
00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:27,625
The whole idea is to see whether people
11
00:00:27,625 --> 00:00:29,500
are abiding by precautionary measures
12
00:00:29,500 --> 00:00:31,500
during this Circuit Breaker period.
13
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:33,583
So I’ll be going to three different settings,
14
00:00:33,708 --> 00:00:35,041
public transport,
15
00:00:35,041 --> 00:00:37,083
a supermarket or provision shop,
16
00:00:37,083 --> 00:00:38,708
as well as a hawker centre.
17
00:00:57,291 --> 00:01:00,291
Despite having one of the world’s longest and strictest lockdowns,
18
00:01:00,291 --> 00:01:03,833
the Philippines is now South East Asia’s new Covid-19 hotspot.
19
00:01:03,833 --> 00:01:07,083
The next two weeks will be crucial in its fight against the virus.
20
00:01:07,083 --> 00:01:10,250
For now, as patients continue to pour into hospitals,
21
00:01:10,250 --> 00:01:12,791
healthcare workers are gritting their teeth
22
00:01:12,791 --> 00:01:14,125
and soldiering on.
23
00:01:14,125 --> 00:01:16,875
The Philippines has now surpassed Indonesia
24
00:01:16,875 --> 00:01:19,791
as the country with the highest number of Covid-19 cases
25
00:01:19,791 --> 00:01:21,250
in South Asia.
26
00:01:21,250 --> 00:01:23,333
The Philippines reported more than
27
00:01:23,333 --> 00:01:26,083
3,300 new corona virus cases
28
00:01:26,083 --> 00:01:29,333
bringing total infections to over 122,000.
29
00:01:29,625 --> 00:01:32,666
Hospitals have been overwhelmed with patients
30
00:01:32,666 --> 00:01:37,166
and overworked medical workers are urging the government to do more.
31
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:39,125
I don’t know what to say.
32
00:01:39,708 --> 00:01:40,958
Did they say why?
33
00:01:40,958 --> 00:01:44,125
You’ve heard management’s closing some of the branches.
34
00:01:44,125 --> 00:01:45,083
Yeah, but...
35
00:01:45,083 --> 00:01:47,041
I wasn’t expecting things to happen this soon.
36
00:01:47,041 --> 00:01:50,041
And all those late nights last month just to hit our quota.
37
00:01:50,041 --> 00:01:51,791
But with the Circuit Breaker extension...
38
00:01:51,791 --> 00:01:53,750
Yeah, that’s why I thought we’d just get a pay cut.
39
00:02:09,458 --> 00:02:12,833
I had a balloon
40
00:02:12,833 --> 00:02:16,208
It flew to the sky
41
00:02:16,208 --> 00:02:19,541
I never saw it again
42
00:02:19,541 --> 00:02:22,583
Turns out, it popped
43
00:02:24,625 --> 00:02:28,458
You did tell management I was willing to take a temporary pay cut, right?
44
00:02:29,166 --> 00:02:31,208
I raised it in our last appraisal.
45
00:02:31,208 --> 00:02:32,500
You know,
46
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:34,875
maybe in a few months when things get better,
47
00:02:34,875 --> 00:02:35,916
- maybe I could... - I...
48
00:02:35,916 --> 00:02:37,875
- don’t know how to explain this to my wife.
49
00:02:37,875 --> 00:02:40,208
And with our second kid expecting...
50
00:02:40,208 --> 00:02:41,625
You should know what that feels like.
51
00:02:41,625 --> 00:02:44,250
At least your husband’s still got his job.
52
00:02:44,250 --> 00:02:46,250
If there’s anything I can do for you?
53
00:02:47,208 --> 00:02:49,041
Maybe I can talk to HR?
54
00:02:49,791 --> 00:02:50,750
You think?
55
00:02:50,750 --> 00:02:52,458
You know that’s beyond my control.
56
00:02:53,416 --> 00:02:54,458
I understand.
57
00:02:55,041 --> 00:02:56,875
You should be careful of management too, Ma’am.
58
00:02:56,875 --> 00:02:58,041
I will.
59
00:02:58,875 --> 00:02:59,708
Take care.
60
00:02:59,833 --> 00:03:00,750
Take care.
61
00:03:15,125 --> 00:03:15,958
Hi Lynette.
62
00:03:16,958 --> 00:03:18,208
Did you receive the report?
63
00:03:18,208 --> 00:03:19,125
Yes.
64
00:03:19,541 --> 00:03:21,041
Thanks for rushing it out.
65
00:03:21,583 --> 00:03:23,166
I think sales is going to like it.
66
00:03:23,458 --> 00:03:24,375
Oh.
67
00:03:24,375 --> 00:03:25,708
You haven’t sent them yet?
68
00:03:27,833 --> 00:03:29,583
Call’s at 5, actually.
69
00:03:30,458 --> 00:03:32,208
I just need some time to
70
00:03:32,208 --> 00:03:33,958
process it before I present.
71
00:03:34,208 --> 00:03:35,125
Ok.
72
00:03:35,916 --> 00:03:37,583
Is there anything you need me to run you through?
73
00:03:37,583 --> 00:03:38,875
No, not really.
74
00:03:41,916 --> 00:03:43,958
But HR has asked me to speak to you.
75
00:04:40,166 --> 00:04:40,833
Luz?
76
00:04:48,125 --> 00:04:48,791
Hello?
77
00:04:52,583 --> 00:04:53,875
Yeah, it just ended.
78
00:04:54,291 --> 00:04:55,541
I need to use the bathroom.
79
00:04:56,208 --> 00:04:57,458
Yeah, I’m going.
80
00:05:31,125 --> 00:05:32,041
...dinner?
81
00:05:33,291 --> 00:05:34,833
It’s Luz’s day off.
82
00:05:35,375 --> 00:05:37,333
We can’t get her to cook.
83
00:05:37,333 --> 00:05:39,500
I already feel bad for losing it last week
84
00:05:39,500 --> 00:05:41,958
over the confiscation of her phone.
85
00:05:41,958 --> 00:05:43,416
And you still want me to get her to cook?
86
00:05:44,208 --> 00:05:46,250
You know she can call social services, right?
87
00:05:50,166 --> 00:05:52,291
I just had to fire my team
88
00:05:52,291 --> 00:05:53,958
so management wouldn’t retrench me.
89
00:05:54,708 --> 00:05:55,958
I can’t afford to lose another pair of hands.
90
00:05:55,958 --> 00:05:57,333
Who’s going to look after Jayden?
91
00:06:04,791 --> 00:06:07,083
How would I know where your grey shirt is?
92
00:06:07,083 --> 00:06:08,750
It’s probably in the laundry basket.
93
00:06:08,750 --> 00:06:10,166
Why don’t you come back and look for it yourself?
94
00:06:10,166 --> 00:06:11,875
You’re not supposed to be out anyway.
95
00:06:13,583 --> 00:06:14,916
I don’t sound upset.
96
00:06:15,375 --> 00:06:16,875
I know you’re stressed.
97
00:06:16,875 --> 00:06:18,541
How about you come back,
98
00:06:18,541 --> 00:06:20,000
and help me with Jayden.
99
00:06:20,625 --> 00:06:22,000
Then I can finish my work,
100
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,458
and tonight we’ll help you find a job.
101
00:06:23,458 --> 00:06:24,916
How’s that sound? Ok?
102
00:06:31,583 --> 00:06:33,375
I don’t have time!
103
00:06:38,750 --> 00:06:40,750
I have a presentation at 5.
104
00:06:43,208 --> 00:06:45,666
And HR just requested for a meeting.
105
00:06:47,500 --> 00:06:49,666
I don’t know what they want to speak about.
106
00:06:50,125 --> 00:06:52,375
What if they’re letting me go too?
107
00:06:54,166 --> 00:06:55,708
That’s giving up.
108
00:06:56,375 --> 00:06:58,291
How are we going to afford diapers and milk?
109
00:07:00,583 --> 00:07:01,916
Let’s not argue.
110
00:07:03,333 --> 00:07:04,583
Just come home.
111
00:07:05,875 --> 00:07:07,291
I’ll get Luz to cook.
112
00:10:01,166 --> 00:10:02,166
Hello?
113
00:10:02,333 --> 00:10:03,166
Ma.
114
00:10:03,416 --> 00:10:04,250
Luz?
115
00:10:04,375 --> 00:10:05,750
I haven’t heard from you in a while.
116
00:10:05,750 --> 00:10:07,041
- How are you? - Busy. How is...
117
00:10:07,041 --> 00:10:08,750
Why haven’t you been replying my texts?
118
00:10:08,750 --> 00:10:10,458
Did I not send them right?
119
00:10:10,458 --> 00:10:11,250
You did.
120
00:10:11,250 --> 00:10:13,416
I’ve just been busy with the new baby.
121
00:10:13,416 --> 00:10:15,791
Are they treating you well over there?
122
00:10:15,791 --> 00:10:19,166
I heard Ling’s daughter got bullied by her employer.
123
00:10:19,625 --> 00:10:23,208
She called the agency for help...
124
00:10:23,208 --> 00:10:25,083
That’s an exaggeration, Mum.
125
00:10:25,083 --> 00:10:26,958
My employers are nice. They let me talk to you.
126
00:10:26,958 --> 00:10:30,041
Remember, if they ever do that, you can get them jailed...
127
00:10:30,958 --> 00:10:33,916
You haven’t gotten yourself checked yet?
128
00:10:39,791 --> 00:10:41,208
How’s Lucia?
129
00:11:45,458 --> 00:11:47,291
How much is the hospital asking for?
130
00:11:49,125 --> 00:11:50,541
Ma, I’ll talk to you later.
131
00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:52,791
Ma’am?
132
00:11:53,333 --> 00:11:55,000
I went to get a towel.
133
00:12:20,541 --> 00:12:21,416
Luz?
134
00:12:22,500 --> 00:12:24,000
Ma, you’re worrying me.
135
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,625
This illness spreads easy.
136
00:12:26,083 --> 00:12:27,958
I’ve seen the TV; the test is free.
137
00:12:27,958 --> 00:12:29,166
Just get it.
138
00:12:29,166 --> 00:12:31,791
It’s good they’re letting you watch TV there.
139
00:12:31,791 --> 00:12:33,416
You’re not listening, Ma.
140
00:12:34,333 --> 00:12:35,250
How’s Lucia?
141
00:12:35,250 --> 00:12:36,541
Is she ok?
142
00:12:36,833 --> 00:12:38,041
Let me talk to her.
143
00:12:40,083 --> 00:12:42,416
It’s nice to hear your voice again.
144
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:44,916
Come home soon?
145
00:12:45,416 --> 00:12:47,291
You know I can’t.
146
00:12:48,208 --> 00:12:49,875
We can’t afford it.
147
00:12:50,541 --> 00:12:51,875
[in the distance] Lucia!
148
00:12:53,541 --> 00:12:54,250
Hello?
149
00:12:54,250 --> 00:12:55,083
Mummy?
150
00:12:56,791 --> 00:12:57,291
Lucia?
151
00:12:57,291 --> 00:12:58,208
Lucia, dear?
152
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,625
When are you coming back, Mummy?
153
00:13:01,833 --> 00:13:02,458
Lucia?
154
00:13:02,458 --> 00:13:03,375
Hold on, dear.
155
00:13:03,375 --> 00:13:04,291
Mummy...
156
00:13:13,041 --> 00:13:13,833
Ma’am?
157
00:13:13,833 --> 00:13:15,541
Do we have any more wet wipes?
158
00:13:16,291 --> 00:13:17,083
Uh, Ma’am?
159
00:13:17,916 --> 00:13:19,416
Have we run out of the ones we just bought?
160
00:13:19,708 --> 00:13:21,916
I don’t know, but I can check in the store room.
161
00:13:22,583 --> 00:13:23,625
Never mind.
162
00:13:23,625 --> 00:13:24,750
I’ll just shower him.
163
00:13:24,750 --> 00:13:26,833
It’s ok, Ma’am. I’ll shower Jayden.
164
00:13:26,833 --> 00:13:27,500
No.
165
00:13:27,708 --> 00:13:28,416
I can do it.
166
00:13:28,416 --> 00:13:29,125
No, it’s ok.
167
00:13:29,625 --> 00:13:30,875
Just prepare the basin for me.
168
00:13:30,875 --> 00:13:32,000
No Ma’am, it’s ok.
169
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,416
I can give Jayden a bath
170
00:13:33,416 --> 00:13:35,833
then you can go finish your work, Ma’am.
171
00:13:35,833 --> 00:13:36,541
It’s ok.
172
00:13:41,375 --> 00:13:42,708
Just for today.
173
00:13:42,708 --> 00:13:43,708
Thanks.
174
00:14:10,291 --> 00:14:11,250
Lucia?
175
00:14:11,250 --> 00:14:12,208
Lucia, dear?
176
00:14:12,833 --> 00:14:13,375
Hello?
177
00:14:32,416 --> 00:14:33,166
Hello?
178
00:14:34,625 --> 00:14:35,625
Lucia, dear?
179
00:14:35,625 --> 00:14:36,166
Hello?
180
00:14:36,166 --> 00:14:36,708
Mum -
181
00:14:37,375 --> 00:14:38,375
Lucia?
182
00:14:39,083 --> 00:14:39,833
Hello?
183
00:14:41,125 --> 00:14:42,125
Lucia?
184
00:15:15,125 --> 00:15:18,583
Now, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index shed more than 4%.
185
00:15:18,583 --> 00:15:22,041
The Shanghai Composite dropping by 3%.
186
00:15:22,666 --> 00:15:24,208
Japan’s benchmark Nikkei,
187
00:15:24,208 --> 00:15:26,291
it fell by 5%,
188
00:15:26,291 --> 00:15:29,750
marking the biggest one-day fall since mid 2016.
189
00:15:29,750 --> 00:15:31,708
Falling to their lowest in 4 years,
190
00:15:31,708 --> 00:15:33,916
investers also opting for safety
191
00:15:33,916 --> 00:15:36,500
due to continuing fears that the Covid-19 outbreak
192
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:39,375
will send the global economy into recession.
193
00:16:25,958 --> 00:16:27,333
Is Jayden asleep?
194
00:16:27,750 --> 00:16:28,666
Yes, Ma’am.
195
00:16:32,708 --> 00:16:34,625
I know it’s your day off.
196
00:16:34,625 --> 00:16:36,416
But can you do me a favour?
197
00:16:38,166 --> 00:16:39,083
Yes, Ma’am?
198
00:16:40,458 --> 00:16:41,958
Sir is coming home for dinner.
199
00:16:42,875 --> 00:16:44,291
You mind cooking?
200
00:16:46,708 --> 00:16:47,583
Can.
201
00:16:51,625 --> 00:16:53,541
Will he be ok with
202
00:16:53,541 --> 00:16:55,000
fish and
203
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,083
vegetables?
204
00:16:56,333 --> 00:16:57,041
Yeah.
205
00:16:57,041 --> 00:16:58,041
Anything works.
206
00:16:59,166 --> 00:17:00,208
7pm?
207
00:17:12,750 --> 00:17:13,375
Ma’am?
208
00:17:13,375 --> 00:17:15,041
Can I go to the 7-11 later?
209
00:17:17,208 --> 00:17:17,791
What for?
210
00:17:17,791 --> 00:17:19,000
It’s Circuit Breaker.
211
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,291
We can’t go out.
212
00:17:21,958 --> 00:17:23,958
I want to get more wet wipes for Jayden and...
213
00:17:25,166 --> 00:17:26,416
to take a walk.
214
00:17:28,541 --> 00:17:30,458
I haven’t been out in the last 3 weeks, Ma’am.
215
00:17:30,708 --> 00:17:31,416
And...
216
00:17:31,916 --> 00:17:32,958
I’m helping out today.
217
00:17:37,791 --> 00:17:39,375
But we gave you days off.
218
00:17:40,500 --> 00:17:42,083
But I never went out, Ma’am.
219
00:17:43,625 --> 00:17:46,333
But that’s because it’s Circuit Breaker. I can’t help it, right?
220
00:18:02,541 --> 00:18:03,375
Sorry.
221
00:18:04,583 --> 00:18:05,833
About last week.
222
00:18:06,750 --> 00:18:08,750
It was just in the moment and I...
223
00:18:15,583 --> 00:18:18,250
How about I return your phone later?
224
00:18:35,083 --> 00:18:36,541
Is everything ok?
225
00:18:37,583 --> 00:18:38,625
Yes, Ma’am.
226
00:18:50,041 --> 00:18:51,500
Actually, Ma’am...
227
00:18:57,458 --> 00:18:58,291
Ma’am?
228
00:18:58,625 --> 00:18:59,875
Have you seen my file?
229
00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:02,125
I’ll help you look for it.
230
00:19:02,875 --> 00:19:03,750
Never mind.
231
00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:04,291
Come.
232
00:19:04,291 --> 00:19:05,291
I’ll return your phone.
233
00:19:06,250 --> 00:19:08,041
I’ll give you the wifi password in the meantime, ok?
234
00:19:08,500 --> 00:19:09,291
No, Ma’am!
235
00:19:15,125 --> 00:19:16,125
Is everything ok?
236
00:19:32,208 --> 00:19:33,250
Ma’am, I’m sorry.
237
00:19:33,250 --> 00:19:34,333
I just borrowed it, I was going to...
238
00:19:34,333 --> 00:19:34,958
Did you...?
239
00:19:35,666 --> 00:19:37,166
Whose SIM card are you using?
240
00:19:38,958 --> 00:19:40,041
Is this your friend’s SIM card?
241
00:19:40,041 --> 00:19:41,583
- Did you go out again?
- No Ma’am.
242
00:19:42,041 --> 00:19:44,541
Did you leave Jayden alone again?
243
00:19:45,250 --> 00:19:47,125
Did you leave Jayden alone again?
244
00:19:48,666 --> 00:19:49,750
Answer me,
245
00:19:49,750 --> 00:19:51,041
did you leave him alone again?
246
00:19:51,041 --> 00:19:53,083
Ma’am, I tried but you were so busy.
247
00:19:53,083 --> 00:19:55,125
I’m too busy so you can’t talk to me?
248
00:19:55,125 --> 00:19:56,000
What do you mean?
249
00:19:56,166 --> 00:19:57,208
You want to take this behind my back?
250
00:19:57,208 --> 00:19:58,000
You’re so clever, right?
251
00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,833
Go ahead, report me to social services!
252
00:20:00,791 --> 00:20:02,000
Ma’am, that time...
253
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:03,041
my son...
254
00:20:05,208 --> 00:20:06,083
my daughter was sick,
255
00:20:06,083 --> 00:20:07,750
and then Covid, and then...
256
00:20:08,708 --> 00:20:10,083
my mum, I just need to talk to them,
257
00:20:10,083 --> 00:20:11,375
I don’t know what to do, Ma’am,
258
00:20:11,375 --> 00:20:12,458
I’m so sorry.
259
00:20:12,958 --> 00:20:13,875
Enough.
260
00:20:15,125 --> 00:20:16,000
Ma’am?
261
00:20:25,166 --> 00:20:26,708
Return me my house keys.
262
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:32,875
Ma’am?
263
00:20:32,875 --> 00:20:34,291
Ma’am? Please, no, Ma’am?
264
00:20:34,291 --> 00:20:35,708
Please, I’m sorry, I...
265
00:20:36,500 --> 00:20:37,208
I didnt...
266
00:20:37,208 --> 00:20:38,458
I didn’t mean to, Ma’am.
267
00:20:38,458 --> 00:20:39,791
I was just going to borrow it
268
00:20:39,791 --> 00:20:40,625
and then return it.
269
00:20:40,625 --> 00:20:41,833
Ma’am, please, no.
270
00:20:42,291 --> 00:20:43,500
Ma’am!
271
00:20:44,666 --> 00:20:46,416
I love the boy like my own,
272
00:20:46,416 --> 00:20:47,166
Ma’am!
273
00:20:48,750 --> 00:20:49,625
I’m sorry!
274
00:20:49,625 --> 00:20:50,708
What are you doing?
275
00:20:50,708 --> 00:20:52,166
Stop it!
276
00:20:52,541 --> 00:20:53,291
Please...
277
00:20:54,166 --> 00:20:56,250
I love the boy like my own, Ma’am.
278
00:20:56,250 --> 00:20:57,000
Please...
279
00:20:58,875 --> 00:21:00,500
You woke Jayden up.
280
00:21:29,833 --> 00:21:33,291
I had a balloon
281
00:21:33,291 --> 00:21:37,208
It flew to the sky
282
00:21:37,208 --> 00:21:40,875
I never saw it again
283
00:21:40,875 --> 00:21:44,291
Turns out, it popped
284
00:21:44,291 --> 00:21:48,208
My money went to waste
285
00:21:48,208 --> 00:21:51,583
Buying that balloon
286
00:21:51,583 --> 00:21:54,916
If I had bought food
287
00:21:54,916 --> 00:21:57,958
It would be full instead
288
00:21:59,750 --> 00:22:02,208
One more time, Mummy?
289
00:23:17,958 --> 00:23:19,083
Hello?
