Ridiculous

Milk tea is more important I guess 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good times to purge this people

which part of D I S T A N C I N G do they not understand

Close bubble tea, coffe shops and all not essential Shops please 🙏

Worms for brains.

Why people queuing for bbt LOL. It’s F&B so will remain open.

Distancing failed

Out break..........happened

Without Bubble Tea or 4D can die. 🙄

Distancing ambasadors should have the power to taser anyone who got too close to another human. Discuss.

Speechless...

Typical Singaporeans!

People still don’t get it 😔

How stupid...

Major impact to those companies/offices in CBD. Companies in industrial park still life as usual...as they need to support essential services. Guess buses and MRT maybe a little better, as many still need to work.

Good! The government give ample time for its citizen to plan ahead, buying exercise books for kids etc etc and not like malaysia, announce at 10PM, hotline open at 12noon day after and at midnight locked. That what when PINTU DORAEMON rules the county i MuhyiddinYassin

These idiots are making the whole situation worst. PM Lee already said all essentials were be remain open. Don’t understand English. Just need one to pass the virus and we will have a new cluster.
