Our youths have been dealing with the disruptions brought about by COVID-19 in their own ways, just like all of us. The National Youth Council Singapore, together with DSTNCT, have created #DearCovid19SG, a platform for youths to share personal experiences and stories of the pandemic.
The accounts are varied — those who have suffered and recovered from the disease, a couple who held an e-wedding, resilient young hawkers, and some sharing their NS stories. Many are tales of overcoming adversity, while others are a call for sympathy and empathy for others.
It is a reminder that we are all in this together, and that it is good to reach out and to listen to what others are going through. If you have a COVID-19 story, why not share it with NYC? – LHL

Two weeks ago, I was commissioned to capture the empty streets of Singapore for #DEARCOVID19SG , a project by National Youth Council Singapore x DSTNCT.
I was given a day to shoot (14th May), and capture this historical moment for a very meaningful project.
All these photos can be found on https://dearcovid19sg.com/
I have also included the time stamp of each photo, in chronological order.
You can also be a part of this campaign, and the most inspiring 4 stories of each day will get $50 Grab Food Vouchers. All you have to do is share your stories and hashtag #DearCovid19SG on IG or FB and tag @nycsg and @dstnctsg :)
Share this post to someone who could use the $50 Grab Food Vouchers :)
Here is my letter for #DEARCOVID19SG :
DEAR COVID-19
You took over the world by storm, shutting down economies, locking billions of people at home.
Creating havoc in the lives of everyone for the past couple of months, and forcing a new normal. Myself included.
You made Singapore go into Circuit Breaker mode, taught me so many things and forced me to adapt as things are evolving very quickly, even though you made the entire economy come to a halt.
You taught me to
- communicate with my family more
- build community without meeting
- spend more time improving myself than wallowing in self pity
- read
- appreciate my health
Yet you made me feel like a stranger in my own country, especially on the day I left my house to capture the empty streets of Singapore. Every location that I went felt completely foreign. I felt like a criminal being out while everyone was staying home because of you, I had goosebumps just walking in the departure hall. It’s a feeling that will stay with me forever.
So please go away, and allow things to resume. I still yearn physical meet-ups over virtual meets, dining in over take outs.
This, is my #DearCovid19SG story.
