            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?

                      Technically speaking all working adults now telecommute, gained an average of 2 hrs per day. That's 60hrs in total!

                        Yes, I know it's starting on 7 Apr, but was talking about after 4 May when they reopen.

                        What's the arrangement for enrichment/tuition centres? After this 1 mth circuit breaker aka closure for tuition SMEs, they still have to adhere to the safe distancing rule in classrooms.
