I worry for the small tuition centres in shopping malls/shopping centres/shophouses.
With the 10 person rule, I wonder how the centres which currently admit 12 students per class can continue to operate.

Split class to fulfil the 1.5m safe distancing? Find another classroom on the same day and slot as parents do not need to deconflict their multiple tuition timings?

All these small tuition centre, sooner or later, must go online, if they want to survive in this tuition industry, because
if this HBL were to continue into Term 3 (July), jialut

Did I miss something? I thought from 07 Apr, only essential services are allowed?

Cannot private tuition. My piano tr cancelled lessons until May.

10 persons rule is now taken over by circuit breaker.
Cannot even visit extended family. Only social gathering within household.

Stricter meadures


There will also be restrictions on movements and gatherings of people. As far as possible, individuals should remain at home and avoid visiting even their extended families, particularly the elderly, said Mr Lee.

Individuals should only leave their homes if they work in essential services or key economic sectors, or to buy food or exercise in neighbourhood parks, he said.

\"The spirit of these measures is to get all of us to minimise physical contact. If we don’t go out, if we avoid contact with others, then the virus won’t be able to spread. It is as simple as that,\" said Mr Lee.

I wonder, would we human change our behaviour because of stay home measures? Adult start painting? Learning a new instrument or skill? Would our kids stop learning attitude? Or keep to their practices?

That’s assuming we will have more free time. I won’t cos I still have to WFH. At first I thought I could pick up some new hobbies but nope.


Good thing I took leave during the 1 week March hols & kid was happily entertaining himself. I managed to finish writing my e-book & published it during that time.

If any parent anticipates a lot of free time during this no-work month, welcome to read my e-book. It’s about primary school life.

like that means,

no point go to shopping centre, eg. NEX or JEM or Jurong Point or Orchard road ION mall or Takashimaya or CK Tang or Tampines mall or Hougang mall or Clementi mall,
since the shops inside the mall will be closed, except for key essential shops like pharmacy, clinic, banks, supermarket, makan food Court, which u can only \" tabao\" back home to eat, but cannot physically sit down there to eat

Chinese TCM, I suppose they fall under Chinese clinic, so allowed to be open. But not sure about small stall that sell Chinese herbs or sell \"liang cha\", like \"Zheng zong ping\"

How about popular book-shop ? Can open ? Not really considered as essential service like sell stationery or sell Assessment books ?

My kids seem to get back their childhood... Lol... And this mummy seem to just let them be.

Will we stay home and become lazy?
