Epidemic started at the same time in both countries. Not saying that Singapore isn't doing a good job, but are they really doing much better than other countries?

Again not to undermine the efforts by Japan, but the way they handled the Diamond Princess was not up to the mark.

Because of their mis-management a lot of people contracted the Virus.

It should be noted that all schools in Singapore are open along with all work places
