wah !! this one must ask lawyer how they define "premises" liow ... hahaha !!

Now, by HDB website. 

Home-based businesses can still operate, provided they meet the criteria in the Ministry of Health’s guidelines and the latest provision under the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020, for example:

- the business operates solely online, without requiring yourself to leave the residential premise
- the business does not require customers to self-collect the goods or require third-party delivery services to deliver goods
- staff (if any) can work from their own respective homes

If the nature of your home-based business does not meet the stipulated regulations (i.e. home-based F&B businesses), you will need to cease operations during the Circuit Breaker period.

S11 dorm. Award-winning standard ok.

According to reports, it has come to light that the S11 dormitory which houses migrant workers has had 2,263 cases of COVID-19 as of 24 April. It has also been reported that the S11 dormitory generates approximately $70 million per annum in revenue and won a Dormitory Award in 2018.

Actually all along these small home biz were running "business as usual" using own or 3rd party delivery and gahmen just cover one eye with no active enforcement. Heard from friend that this was triggered by a home biz owner woman who went on suria or some malay media to kpkb about her difficulties during cb. As a result now authorities bobian have to officially respond by banning across the board. So now all other home biz owners are cursing this big sabo king for destroying everyone's livelihood during this period. 

Totally agree. 

IMHO,  this is like the PMD issues.  Initially, the rules are not that tight,  then everyone starts to have something to say, at the end,  the rules become tighter and tighter.  

Another is the food delivery issues, dunno what petition, complains slow, no safety distance,  end result - close more F&B. 

Some things, cannot say loudly in the open, just keep quiet.

Basically, instead of saying outright cannot, they just throw a slew of restrictions and requirements which in the end cant be met.  

same tactic used over and over again.

similar to modding our cars. 

if cannot just have balls say “CANNOT!”

Make us really tulan.

No surprise why our community cases slow to reduce despite tightening definition of "essential".

Went out for midnight run and what did I see? Delivery riders sitting around chit chatting with prata shop assistants outside the shop, all mask covering chin only for better droplet spread.

Pass by a burger outlet, still have two staff there talking and joking loudly behind the counter. Also masks pulled down.

Seriously the numbers are going to stay like that hovering in the teens and twenties if police and distancing ambassadors all safely tucked in bed after evening time.

And minister and healthcare experts still wondering

Ya.. The safe distancing ambassadors also need rest.. Unless they split to morning and night shift.. But then it would mean more manpower and dont know it is sustainable in long run or not.

He is not saying wearing mask early will stop the dorm cases (although arguably it may have stopped the root of these cases at mustafa or elsewhere, if masks had been compulsory?? we'll never know) - he is just talking about the same kind of know-it-all thinking that led to the dorms being overlooked.

By the way even with no dorm cases, our community numbers were quite high already in March, like, 70+ on one bad day, i recall. That is what prompted closure of leisure and entertainment biz. WFH and home learning would be inevitable, eventually. Just a matter of time.

If u say we overlooked the dorm case, then that means on hindsight, there was something we could have done to prevent the dorm outbreak. 

so what was it? If no solution, prob the government did not overlook but have no solution.

Community outbreak... to be fair the government handled the wider community spread very well.

IMHO.

Would any one had believed me if I said that a week or two prior,  I had "predicted" that ? 
That said, I usually do not go fault finding when I know I am given priority under these circumstances. 
I would say that it could be vastly different when medical personnel and supplies were diverted - I would have lost my priority.

True or not, I don't know. I only know I am Singaporean.

Another man tio charged.. Sometimes if just so happened to have insider information be it related to the job scope or what.. Please keep quiet and not say it out.. This is to prevent the person to get into trouble with law.

Was cycling at the PCN this morning.. Strangely those water cooler still functioning and saw a few drinking or collecting water from it..

Water coolers can be a "dirty" place.. I remembered Taiwan shutdown all these water coolers as part of the control...
