S1E21: Making Singapore's cleaning industry more sustainable in wake of coronavirus: Green Pulse Ep 21

Green Pulse Ep 21: Making Singapore's cleaning industry more
sustainable in wake of coronavirus


11:52 mins

Synopsis: Green Pulse is an environmental podcast series at The
Straits Times which analyses the beat of the changing
environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate
change.

Tune in to this episode to find out how Malaysia's restrictions
on cross-border movement to help battle Covid-19, will have an
impact on the sustainability and future of cleaning services in
Singapore. 


Do public cleaning companies here have the right business
continuity plans, given that the existing pool of cleaners here
are seniors?


Should cleaners be recognised for their front-line efforts in
anti-coronavirus efforts?


In the final podcast episode based on The Straits Times' The Big
Story video, ST’s environment
correspondent Audrey Tan chats with a panel of experts
to discuss the importance of personal and public hygiene, as
Singapore continues its battle against Covid-19. Subjects covered
are the drive for cleanliness amid disease, the existing state of
hygiene, the need for a greater appreciation of cleaners and life
beyond Covid-19.

The panel includes:


1. Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Minister for the Environment and Water
Resources


2. Professor Wang Linfa, infectious diseases expert at Duke-NUS
Medical School


3. Mr Edward D'Silva, chairman, Public Hygiene Council


4. Mr Tai Ji Choong, director of the Department Of Public
Cleanliness, The National Environment Agency (NEA)
