While a majority of Singaporeans are being socially responsible and complying to the stricter "wear a mask when you go out" measures, there are some Covidiots who just don't get it. Let's just put some things in perspective for you Covidiot pricks. Millions of people are waiting to see their extended family, loved ones and friends come 2nd June 2020. Millions of people want to go out again without having a fear of getting a $300 fine. Millions of people do not want to hear that there has been a further extension of the Circuit Breaker. Then there are people like this The video of this lady exploded on social media and WhatsApp chats this morning. In the video, the lady walks onto the road causing the cam car to make an emergency brake in order not to hit her. There's a lot of speculation regarding her intentions. Some call her crazy. While others think its an insurance scam. But, the focus here is pretty obvious. Lucky the driver had a good reaction time.

SINGAPORE: A man suspected of organising an illegal car race with 57 attendees was charged on Thursday (Apr 9) under newly enacted laws to curb the spread of COVID-19. Yeo Jing Cheng, 30, is accused of organising an event with more than 10 participants during a period when no such gatherings are allowed as part of efforts to stop the spread of the coronavirus. He is accused of organising an event called "street cars meet up" at about 11pm at East Coast Park on Mar 28, allowing more than 10 people to be present. He was given a second charge under the Infectious Diseases (Measures to Prevent Spread of COVID-19) Regulations 2020 for taking part in another race at 12.30am on Mar 29, at Tuas South Boulevard. He is the first to be charged with these offences under the regulations, which were enacted on Mar 26.
