7 people to be charged following investigations into gatherings around Robertson Quay F&B establishments

SINGAPORE: Seven people will be charged in court on Jun 2 following investigations into gatherings in the Robertson Quay area, the Urban Redevelopment Authority said on Saturday .

This comes after reports on May 16 that groups of people had gathered around F&B establishments at Robertson Quay and were not observing safe distancing protocols as part of the"circuit breaker" designed to limit the spread of COVID-19.The URA said in its press release that it had been investigating the matter, along with the Singapore Police Force .

Following these investigations, six men and one woman, aged between 30 and 52, will be charged in court for contravention of the COVID-19 Regulations 2020, URA said. Offences under the regulations include leaving your house without reasonable excuse during the circuit breaker, meeting others for a social purpose and improperly wearing a mask.

Those found breaking any of these regulations can be jailed up to six months, fined $10,000 or both for the first offence.

The purpose of the CB law is to curb spreading of the Wuhan virus, if people are not infected with the virus why should they be charged? What is happening now seems more like punishment for the sake of punishment, it’s unreasonable, unjustifiable and absolutely unconvincing.
