This is causing quite a storm on social media. Reunion dinner with people in same household is allowed. Lol...

With 3-4k confirmed cases a day, this rule is probably "necessary", so is shutting down pasar malam and all places of worship.

The fact that after more than 2 weeks of MCO2, the number has not slowed down means the measures have to be tightened further.  Why masks and social distancing are not working is also puzzling. It means people don't care and are not following the rules anymore?

Rem daily limit of 8 persons

We are in a much better position than our neighbors. We have the freedom to go out whenever we want to, dine in at a restaurant, dine in with up to 8 friends, we are free to visit tourist attractions, staycation in hotels, cruise ships. What are the tradeoffs? Mask wearing, and 8 pax limit? I'll take it anyday over a "lockdown" aka MCO or Circuit Breaker 2.

We have 365 days a year to visit our relatives but why do we choose to do it only during CNY? Busy schedules etc. Yeap. But with COVID still a thing now, what's a little sacrifice to make? 

Is our situation different from Malaysia's? Hell yeah if you ask me, a world of difference. In terms of government's response, management of COVID cases and even quality of healthcare, law enforcements, I am thankful that we are living as normal as we possibly could in a COVID world. The only other countries that I can think of with the same normal is Taiwan (on a different level), New Zealand, to a certain extend Australia, Korea.

Fully agreed.

That's why in the New year shopping thread I mention almost don't buy anything for this CNY. Not plan to invite any friends to my place.

Only plan is visit my parents and already dicussed with brothers not to visit on same day to keep below 8 person.

Actually for SG, it is whoever stays in a house plus 8 visitors if I am not wrong.

8 is when we dine out.

8 is the maximum number of visitors per day.

8 is the maximum number of diner per table.

So technically it could be 15 persons for reunion dinner if 7 persons live in the house and has 8 persons considered as visitors. The group can really fluctuate depending on the number people staying in a house.
