Kesan ekonomi sunting

Pandemik yang sedang berterusan ini berkemungkinan besar akan meninggalkan kesan yang dalam terhadap ekonomi negara. Pada 17 Februari, Kementerian Perdagangan dan Perusahaan (MTI) menurunkan ramalan pertumbuhan GDP bagi tahun 2020 kepada antara −0.5% dengan 1.5%.[1] Ramalan tersebut berdasarkan pertumbuhan sederhana pada pertumbuhan ekonomi global dan beberapa sudut ekonomi Singapura yang terjejas teruk, termasuk sektor yang bergantung kepada pasaran luar, sektor pelancongan dan pengangkutan, serta kemerosotan permintaan domestik dengan kurangnya aktiviti beli-belah dan makan luar.[1] Pada 26 Mac, MTI menurunkan lagi pertumbuhan ekonomi 2020 kepada antara −4% dan −1%. Tinjauan ramalan tersebut dilakukan setelah ekonomi Singapura menguncup 2.2% bagi suku pertama 2020 berbanding suku pertama 2019.[2]

Pada 6 April 2020, ia diumumkan di Parlimen bahawa Terminal 2 Lapangan Terbang Changi akan ditutup selama 18 bermula 1 Mei akibat penularan COVID-19.[3] Penutupan Terminal 2 juga akan mempercepatkan kerja-kerja naik taraf di terminal tersebut dan memendekkan tempoh projek itu sehingga satu tahun.[4] Sepanjan penutupan itu, 4 syarikat penerbangan telah memindahkan operasi mereka dari Terminal 2 ke terminal-terminal lain: Singapore Airlines/SilkAir (ke Terminal 3), Etihad Airways (Terminal 3), Royal Brunei (Terminal 1) dan All Nippon Airways (Terminal 1). 10 syarikat penerbangan yang lain telah menggantung pengendalian operasi mereka.[5] Terminal 4 juga diumumkan akan menggantung operasinya bermula 16 Mei akibat permintaan yang rendah di tengah-tengah pandemik COVID-19.[6] Operasi di terminal itu akan disambung semula apabila permintaan penerbangan meningkat semula.

Inflasi sunting

Inflasi teras Singapura merosot ke −0.1% pada Februari 2020 berbanding tahun sebelumnya, kali pertamanya dalam satu dekad indeks harga utama Singapura jatuh ke dalam deflasi. Langkah-langkah antarabangsa yang telah diambil untuk membendung penularan COVID-19 telah membawa gangguan terhadap rantaian bekalan, dengan itu memberi tekanan pada harga barangan import, terutama sekali dalam pasaran komoditi makanan dan minyak. Kemerosotan dalam sektor penerbangan dan perbelanjaan percutian juga memain peranan dalam kejatuhan inflasi teras ke paras negatif.[7]

Dasar kewangan sunting

Penguasa Kewangan Singapura (MAS) telah mengumumkan pelan rangsang ekonomi dalam kenyataan dasar kewangannya—yang selalunya dikeluarkan dua kali setahun pada bulan April dan Oktober—pada 30 Mac.[8] Dalam kenyataan tersebut, MAS meletakkan peningkatan dolar Singapura pada sifar peratus. Dengan itu, titik pertengahan jalur dasar kewangan juga diturunkan, menandakan kali pertama langkah tersebut diambil sejak krisis ekonomi 2008.[9]

Pelancongan & penganjuran acara sunting

Dengan penularan COVID-19 menjejas dengan ketara sektor pelancongan dan penerbangan, Lembaga Pelancongan Singapura (STB) menganggarkan kemerosotan ketibaan pelancong sebanyak 25 hingga 30 peratus berbanding tahun yang sebelumnya.[10] Beberapa negara juga telah mengenakan sekatan perjalanan ke Singapura.[11]

Aktiviti beli-belah tempatan sunting

The retail and food industry has been significantly affected by the drop in consumer spending. Foot traffic in shopping malls dropped,[31] with some malls choosing to shorten their opening hours.[32] Tenants are pushing landlords for rental rebates, citing significant drops in revenue.[33]

Several malls and landlords including Jewel Changi Airport and CapitaLand have implemented rental rebates.[34][35] The National Environment Agency (NEA) has also implemented rent waivers and rebates for all stallholders in hawker centres operated by NEA or NEA-appointed operators.[36]

According to CapitaLand in February 2020, foot traffic at malls were almost back to normal.[31] However, on 28 March, after the government reminded the public to remain at home and not to visit places unless it was essential, the Straits Times reported that the Orchard Road shopping area was noticeably quieter.[37]

In response to the government's lockdown measures for April, Suntec City announced that it would waive rent for all tenants for the month of April.[38]

Religious services sunting

The Catholic Church of Singapore announced that it was suspending masses indefinitely from noon of 15 February.[57] They were set to resume on 14 March,[58] but continue to be indefinitely suspended in light of the World Health Organization declaring a pandemic.[59]

The Islamic Religious Council of Singapore has asked Muslims to take precautions to maintain personal hygiene while the Singapore Buddhist Federation advised temples to cancel activities.[60] Some churches have opted to suspend services, live streaming them instead. Religious institutions have stepped up disinfection procedures.[60]

On 12 March, the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore announced the closure of all mosques for five days from 13 March for disinfection, coming after two people were infected from a gathering in Malaysia. Prayers were cancelled on 13 March, with activities stopped until 27 March.[61]

Hindu Temples and Sikh Temples also recorded a drop in the attendance. Hindu temples in Singapore have stepped up precautionary measures such as checking temperature of the visitors. Sikh Temple had to suspend their langar services. However, five private temple were providing langar on a smaller scale. Most processions were also cancelled.[62]

Malaysian lockdown sunting

On 16 March, the Malaysian government announced a movement control order that would take effect from 18 March, preventing Malaysians from leaving the country.[63] With approximately 300,000 Malaysians or almost a tenth of Singapore's labour force working in Singapore, the lockdown is expected to significantly affect Singapore's economy, including sectors providing essential services.[64]

The lockdown caused long queues at immigration checkpoints as Malaysian workers in Singapore scrambled to collect their belongings and return to Singapore, while Singaporeans returned home.[65] Various firms across Singapore rushed to find temporary accommodation for their workers before the lockdown took effect.[66] The Singapore government has advised workers to try to stay with relatives, friends, and colleagues, and seek housing in hotels, dormitories and rental flats if this is not possible.[67] The government is also providing $50 for each worker per day, up to 14 days to support employers finding accommodation.[68] As of 17 March, the government announced that 10,000 Malaysian workers have been matched with temporary housing.[68] Some workers could not immediately find accommodations and resorted to sleeping in public areas.[69] Authorities, in addition to the monetary offer above, had other measures in place, Ministry of Social and Family Development repurposed Jurong East Sports Hall into a temporary relief area for remaining Malaysian workers who were unable to find temporary accommodations immediately after the lockdown, while Ministry of Manpower stepping up patrols to look out for such stranded workers.[70] A number of residents also had stepped up to offer their spare rooms to accommodate Malaysian workers at little to no costs.[71]

The lockdown resulted in suspension of all bus services between Johor Bahru and Singapore. While train service (KTMB Shuttle Tebrau) continues to operate between the two checkpoints, only citizens returning to their respective countries are allow to board.[72] The lockdown also sparked fears of food shortages, triggering a second wave of panic buying and hoarding of essential items (see below).

Panic buying and price gouging sunting

Panic buying and price gouging of personal protective equipment (PPEs) such as masks began with the first confirmed case of COVID-19 in Singapore on 23 January 2020.[73] By 24 January, both N95 and surgical masks had run out at retail outlets.[74] The Ministry of Health assured the public that there were sufficient N95 masks in the event of a surge in demand.[74] This has prompted local retailers including NTUC FairPrice, Watsons and Guardian to impose limits on the number of masks, hand sanitisers and thermometers each consumer can buy.[75] The government has urged the public to only wear masks if they are unwell, citing unsustainable consumption patterns and the possibility of a false sense of security.[76][77]

The shortage of masks and other PPEs has caused many retailers to engage in profiteering by price gouging and scalping.[78] This included both local brick-and-mortar stores as well as retailers on ecommerce platforms.[78][79] The government has applauded platforms Carousell and Qoo10 for threatening to suspend profiteerers.[79] The governmental price controller has also issued warnings to retailers who engage in price gouging and requested information from e-commerce platforms on potential profiteers.[78][80][81]

Panic buying and hoarding of essentials such as rice, instant noodles and toilet paper occurred with the raising of the DORSCON level from yellow to orange on 7 February 2020, with empty shelves at supermarkets within hours.[82] In response, both the government and local retailers stated that there was sufficient supply of essentials, urging Singaporeans not to hoard.[83][84] Local supermarket chain NTUC Fairprice imposed limits on the amount of essentials each consumer can buy, with these limits initially set for paper products, rice products, instant noodle packets and vegetables.[85] NTUC Fairprice and Dairy Farm Singapore announced that it would introduce specific hours for those members of the community who were more vulnerable such as Pioneer Generation members.[86]

A second wave of panic buying and hoarding occurred on 17 March when Malaysia announced its lockdown from 18 March, sparked by fears of food shortages. The government has clarified that the flow of goods, cargo and food supplies between Singapore and Malaysia will continue, urging the public not to panic buy. They added that Singapore has diverse sources of essential goods and was not facing an immediate shortage of food or essentials.[87] NTUC Fairprice has expanded its list of items that are limited per consumer to include eggs, vegetables and poultry.[88] 10 days later, NTUC FairPrice expanded its list to include canned food, cooking oil and frozen meat, with reduced purchasing limits for paper products.[89]

In order to deal with the massive increase in online shopping orders, RedMart on 2 April said that it would prioritise daily essentials such as milk powder, flour, eggs and rice while limiting orders to 35 items and reducing its range of goods to focus on the essentials. It also said that it would stop taking orders until 4 April to implement additional measures. [90]

Ahead of tighter measures on 7 April, shoppers queued at shopping malls despite government requests for people to remain at home.[91]

Scams sunting

Several parties have engaged in scams related to the pandemic. For instance, scammers have pretended to be MOH officials engaging in contact tracing.[92] The MOH and police clarified that no financial details or transfer of money will be requested during contact tracing.[93] The police have also arrested scammers on e-commerce platform Carousell.[94] On 4 April, SPF announced that they had arrested a man for suspected money-laundering offences in relation to a COVID-19 linked scam which saw an overseas pharmaceutical company defrauded to the tune of €6.636 million (S$10.3 million) over the purchase of surgical masks and hand sanitisers.[95]

Pengangkutan sunting

Transportation sunting

Taxi and private hire vehicles were hit by the impact of COVID-19. A S$77 million package was provided to help them tide through this period, co-funded by the Government, taxi and private-hire companies. In addition, a S$2.7 million fund was set up by the Government and National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) for drivers who are not eligible.[97] In view of the worsening coronavirus impact, the package will be enhanced from May 2020, extending until September 2020. This will cost an additional $95 million.[98] On 6 April, directors of the ComfortDelGro Group (ComfortDelGro, SBS Transit and VICOM) announced its board of directors would take a voluntary 20 per cent cut in directors' fees until the end of 2020.[99]

Various banks have suggested that Singapore Airlines will have a loss in FY21, with OCBC credit analysts Ezien Hoo and Wong Hong Wei arguing that the airline will have to tap the markets for more funds and possibly even need state support.[100]

Singapore Airlines, SilkAir and Scoot have announced plans to slash their capacity. Singapore Airlines will be slashing 96% of its capacity until end-April. The news resulted in STI crashing down by 164.63 (6.83%). Scoot will ground 47 out of the 49 planes they have in their fleet.[101] With the significant reduction in flights, Singapore Airlines agreed to provide some 300 staff to help with possible manpower shortages at hospitals in Singapore.[102]

The Land Transport Authority announced that all certificate of entitlement (COE) bidding for the month of April would be suspended.[103]

The cost of the hotels would be borne by the government.[107] While it was not officially announced which hotels were being used for this enforced stay at home notice, it was reported that these included: Shangri-La's Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa, Grand Park Orchard, the Village Hotel Albert Court, Village Hotel Sentosa, The Elizabeth Hotel and Swissotel the Stamford.[108][109]
