SINGAPORE (ANN): Politicians and supermarket chain representatives on Friday (Feb 7) called on shoppers to remain calm, saying Singapore has sufficient stocks of essential supplies and food. We also have our national stockpile for essential items,” said Chan, adding that his ministry is in close contact with retailers here. Meanwhile, a Singapore Food Agency (SFA) spokesman told The Straits Times that Singapore does not import livestock or raw meat from China. Such food items also come from other countries, such as Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, the United States, Australia, and South Africa. “Our importers are ready to tap other available sources should there be a disruption of food supply to minimise the overall impact on our food supply.” - The Straits Times/Asia News Network
