The authorities had on June 20, 2020 banned outdoor dining after crowds were observed breaching Covid-19 safe distancing measures outside one of the restaurants along the road.
Taking into account current Covid-19 regulations, the establishment's outdoor area, if opened, can take about 80 patrons. Its indoor area can hold 50. in June 2020 after crowds were observed outside the restaurant British Indian Curry Hut on the first day of Phase Two of the circuit breaker exit. The 50-year-old did not specify how much half his turnover is but said that the restaurant at Holland Village was currently being kept afloat by revenue from its five other outlets around Singapore.
Previously, customers who were only there for drinks would occupy the outdoor seats while those who were having meals would sit indoors. "We are not seeking any rebate or assistance to run the business. We are just asking them to let us open our outdoor refreshment area so we are able to sustain the business during this period,” said Mr Basha.The bar, which has an outlet along Lorong Mambong, has seen its monthly revenue drop by 60 per cent compared to before the circuit breaker when outdoor dining was allowed, said Mr Nasen Thiagarajan, its chief executive officer.
Mr Lovein Shrestha, the owner of Baden Restaurant & Pub, said that Holland Village has “lost its vibe” without outdoor dining along Lorong Mambong. He said he would have to close his restaurant, which has been at Holland Village for 25 years, in a year if the current situation continues.About 30 businesses along Lorong Mambong had banded together immediately after the ban on outdoor dining last year to engage the authorities on reopening it.About 30 businesses along the street had banded together immediately after the ban on outdoor dining last year to engage the authorities on reopening it, said Mr Nasen.
Less than 15 mins walk from my crib.. all i wish for a better tomorrow. Everyone please stay safe. Pray that we all can walk out without wearing a mask.
The banned on outdoor dining is specific and targetted at Lorong Mambong because the businesses there could not manage to control and enforce SMM rules so isn’t this than a consequences for their actions or in-actions?
