These past few days when I dine out, I noticed the social distancing rules are either badly communicated OR restaurants and Foodcourts have great discretion to exercise their own standards.

For example, in HDL, customer to customer (from nearby tables), are spaced 1m apart. But at Foodcourt, table to table 1m apart. So when two patrons sit back to back, I am very sure there’s no social distancing at all.

How long do we usual take a meal at Foodcourt? I estimate makan 20 mins then another 10 min maybe finish up our coke/kopi/Teh so that’s a total of 30mins. So it’s 30mins in an aircon enclosed space, without masks without proper social distancing

I urge those who eat out, please exercise your own due diligence. Be ”醒目”

Toastbox at TPY stn very small tables & well spaced. Caught up with SIL for an hour. They stacked up the 4-person table. Don’t feel threatened as not that crowded altho all tables were occupied. Nobody choose the long bar-top in spite of full occupancy.

Some are not mindful when it comes to social distancing, we should not take this easily. We need to help each other or else this will go on and on…

these angmo, both men & women, aged 30, 35, 38, are fined $9000
their work passes, have been revoked
they visited the bar named \"bar bar black sheep\"

a stern reminder to all foreign workers and visitors that,
upon entering our country Singapore, you must respect our local laws and customs, regardless of where you are from, or your social and professional status.

Maybe heavy fine is an effective deterrent.

The last time I used “time-out” was when my kids were in the kindergarten when I took away their Lollipops for 1hr as a punishment.

Yes, there were safe distancing rules but why was there no one from ActiveSG to monitor and enforce these rules?

The advisory could be better worded to show concern on the part of ActiveSG on its sports halls becoming an infection cluster and to implore users of its facilities to adhere to the social distancing rules for their own good. A scolding or even punishing tone in its advisory doesn’t reflect well on ActiveSG and by extension the ruling party, especially when a GE campaign is being waged.

The organizer of the Badminton social event has come out & defended himself, but I still think he was wrong to organize it that way.


The purpose of the “max 5” per social group is to keep the virus contact numbers (& therefore tracing numbers, necessary quarantine numbers) low, capped at 5 per “cluster”.

By booking more courts to accommodate his group of 29, who inevitably cannot control their mingling among themselves, does not go with the rationale of max 5. Now the whole group of 29 gotta be monitored.

And all the rest of the sports in SG suay suay gotta have more curbs becos of this group!

No doubt the organizer was wrong but the rules didn’t prohibit him from doing that. He used a loophole in the rules, nothing to be proud of but nothing too damning as the group knew each other and contact tracing should be easy.


I am however shocked and disappointed by words used in the advisory like “time-out” in a bid to punish all the sports facilities users without reflecting on the inadequacy of its monitoring and enforcement actions

I have seen big groups occupying 2 tables side by side in restaurants and how about those angmo pub goers who flouted the rules? Must all restaurants and pubs closed down to punish some errant customers?
