Open to Brunei and New Zealand also no one dare to come as the cases here is very high. Even Hong Kongers also do not want to come, would not be surprised they will ban indians from here going there as Air Asia flights got ban by Hong Kng
Before vaccine arrive, most probably government going to be broke soon and will start a big summons program to rope in the taxes to keep them and their friends afloat
Just my opinion

Every person that's brought in, is put into 14 day quaraine and is not released into community before testing negative. So there's no risk of community spread. It's not tourists from India either, it's EPs and PRs. Government keeps up the compulsory 14 day quarantine to give a life line to hotel industry - as they're used for SHN. Also every person pays $2000 + $200 for a test.
NZ tourists are not coming, not because of cases, but because they are banned from travelling. Not sure how many tourists would come from HK, given all the restrictions the only thing you can do in Singapore is shopping, and that's pretty good in Hong Kong already.
Government should admit they overreacted and it's time to accept that the cost of attempting to control the virus is higher than the cost of the virus itself.
