To examine how centralized technological surveillance and bottom-up community initiatives interacted during early COVID-19 pandemic containment.

Evaluated digital contact tracing systems, including TraceTogether and SafeEntry, alongside civic responses to outbreaks in migrant worker dormitories.
Centralized digital surveillance and quarantine enforcement successfully curbed initial community spread before major secondary outbreaks emerged in densely populated worker dormitories.
Effective long-term urban disease management required supplementing state-driven techno-governance with decentralized, grassroots civic mobilization.
