SINGAPORE - Just days after it ordered several motor workshops to close, the Ministry of Trade and Industry has told some of them that they could continue to operate.

In an e-mail sent to workshop operators such as multi-franchise Wearnes Automotive, BMW agent Performance Motors and Nissan dealer Tan Chong Motors as early as Tuesday night , the MTI said:"This is regarding the earlier notification you received to rescind earlier exemption from suspension. We would like to inform you that may continue with operations for the duration of the circuit breaker.

Asked to comment on the apparent double U-turn, an MTI spokesman said on Wednesday evening it recognises that recovery and repair services for emergency vehicles are an essential service. Some of the workshops which were given 48 hours to close over the weekend and on Monday have long supplied and serviced such vehicles. For instance, Wearnes and Tan Chong both sell ambulances.
