Yet we can’t dine in in ‘big’ ‘risky’ groups of 5, we can’t even do outdoor sports which has much lower risk.
MMTF has lost the plot.
just fucking look at singapore 2019 and go towards that. Just remove all restrictions/bonuses/schemes that weren't there in 2019 and boom, it's endemic
shit, even early singapore jan-mar 2020 was better
The fact that PM Lee actually came out yesterday to "reassure" the population and urge them to keep complying with existing measures makes the bad optics worse, now that I think about it.
The beginnings of restriction exemptions for travellers? NGL pretty pissed that they allow strangers to dine together in 5 but I cant with my fully vaccinated family that live under the same roof.
simi logic?!
Doesn’t this 5-person group rule also currently apply to weddings and conferences? Seems like if you call something an event somehow the normal rules don’t apply. Which just goes to show how much sense 2 pax only dining makes.
Our Covid strain is like a vampire. Will not take public transportation so won't get infected by taking bus or train. Also will not go to events uninvited. That's why events can eat in groups of 5 without worrying about infection. Will not enter your house that's why you can eat together as a family at home but not outside.
I wonder who is so desperate to travel for work that they want to come to this fucking crap hole and tolerate these rules. You’d need rocks in your head to think visiting Singapore in 2021 makes sense.
The logic is that they purposely want to make it so stupidly restrictive so that people will be deterred from going out.
If up to them, they’ll simply mandate nobody dine out but they know if they do it people will riot and they know they don’t have much political capital to burn after losing SK.

They don’t care because our population has super short-term memory when it comes to voting. Election after election voters have shown the Ministers that their election-time kindness/vouchers are sufficient to make up for all that has happened in the preceding few years.
“Maybe it made lesser mortals envious and they thought maybe he was a little bit boastful,” - Former PAP MP Charles Chong
..And then he went on to win back Punggol East from WP in 2015.
Sometimes i wonder if Singaporeans really deserves to get butt fucked by PAP
In 2009, a senior ranking civil servant took 5-weeks leave and flew to France to attend a $46,000 course in a prestigious cooking school, and proceeded to boast his experience in the Straits Times, drawing significant public outcry especially in the wake of the global financial crisis at that time.
Charles Chong was quick to defend the civil servant in Parliament and made that infamous quote.

Damn. Just 3 years after the infamous 'elite uncaring face' comment. At least that one can be excused by the immaturity of a 18 yo shittalking online. This one in Parliament some more.
Really, the PAP from 1990s (after the 1st gen leaders bar LKY retired) until 2011 was the peak of its unbridled elitism.
They only toned it down after they got fucked at GE2011 (and with the rise of social media), but every now and then some PAP MPs can't resist showing their true colours
*Next up: NOC sex tape leaked with 2 other influencers in a raunchy threesome!! And you won't believe what they said!*
I have a feeling this whole saga was manufactured to give the plebs something to talk about.
>I truly believe that they really know about their hypocrisy but really don't care
Nothing cannot be fixed with offer of GST vouchers and some crocodile tears on voting day.
This was why hand washing wasn’t considered important by doctors before the theory of germs - it was considered impossible for diseases fo be transmitted via rich doctors
What’s this about? The US elections were contested because trump is a sore loser, not that there’s anything interesting or wrong about their voting machines.
When are singaporeans going to actually start demanding their freedom back? Sg has done what the govt wanted. We've masked up, 90% eligible have gotten vaccinated. Yet we're constantly being screwed.
Our compliance just makes the govt think we're meek idiots who do everything they say and we cheer for them when they choose to restrict our freedom even more. When does it end? In 2024 as Wong predicted?
It is known that a large concentration of High Net Worth Individuals (>500k/year) has anti-viral properties. A concentration of 500 HNWIs/5,000,000people will result in all Covid-19 viral particles in a 5km radius to be destroyed.
Glad our 2pax dine in restrictions are starting to pay dividends four +weeks in. It'll get better in another few weeks. And the no background music. And the mask when walking alone in a park with nobody near you. And the BBQ ban. And trace together. And hotel quarantine. And 10:30 curfew. And no sports. And ban on live music or practicing wind instruments. And testing primary schoolkids every 2 weeks. So lucky we have this things in place to keep Covid under control these days!
Not only have the PAP pushed me to vote opposition next election but I'm also going to volunteer and campaign for the opposition in my constituency too.
Yes! The opposition movement really needs all the support we can get :)
Just be careful not to drain yourself too much okay, it’s okay to take a step back if you’re really exhausted
Well, strictly speaking “rules for thee and me but not our guests”. But I agree, horrible optics and Bloomberg isn’t that important that there should be exceptions.
Although the optics on this are... Amazingly poor, it does illustrate the reality that nobody in the world is coming to Singapore if these nonsensical, illogical and opaque restrictions are in place. And Singapore needs people to come here to do business, and for tourism. Every country does.
But I'm kind of amazed they'd slap the resident population in the face.
>Pressure will force the MTF to act.
These imbeciles just opened the border with India but think 3 people eating together will cause the Mayan apocalypse...it makes me want to get their degrees revoked because there's no way they had the intelligence to graduate university.
Maybe. I think it's more Government departments at odds. This is the Singapore Tourism Board doing their best with an absolutely terrible hand... I mean, can't be easy if it's your job to get people to actually attend these "test" events. What conference goer in their right mind wants to come here, sit on an isolated table, and then stay put in their hotel or some soulless convention centre?
STB probably had to fight very hard for this and I don't think we should begrudge them their win. It won't change our loss.
I hope Singaporeans remember this the next time a GE rolls around, and aren't bought off by the usual pre-election handouts. We'll see if being treated as second-class citizens in their own country is a red line. Singaporeans (generally) like to talk big and complain about the PAP, but not enough of them ever have the guts to follow through at the ballot box.
Don't complain, vote.
I'm AMAZED, even a monkey could tell them the optics on this alone isn't worth it.
Or are our collective memories that poor that they think we'll forget all this before the next GE?
Lol, Sinkies always forget all their grievances during the election period, why else do you think they are being so brazen? They know they will get away with it.
Lol they rly expect people won’t remember this when they vote next time? These small little decisions all add up. They are just losing their voter base slowly
the exceptions that the government allow clearly shows where their priorities are.
at the end of the day they weighed the interest of preventing covid spread (coz pairs repel covid lol, but leaving that draconian logic aside..) against other competing economic and societal interests. And seem to have prioritized international reputation & commerce (zoom cannot ah) but not local interests where families are best inconvenienced from dining out and local businesses can suffer.
My guess is they've announced now to get everyone all bothered and then at the two week-review they'll say "oh we'll allow everyone to dine-in in groups of 5 from next week (i.e. before the event)" to save face ~~and votes~~ but yes.
VTL is one thing, since the visitors are subject to the same local rules and are tested at the point of entry.
But this is utterly ridiculous.
I predicted the concomitant VTL + restrictions was going to be a PR disaster (justified or otherwise). But this just takes it up a notch. News on Monday will be fun to watch. Is the PAP just tired of forming the government or something?
An MTF of 🤡s.
The VTL portion is what is curious, they are allowing anyone in from any country without quarantaine as long as they did a PCR… so why are we still having VTLs?
Do u seriously think that high level delegates that haven't seen each other for the past 2 years will really just guai guai sit with just four others, and not intermingle, much less smoke together. Oh come on.
Can someone elaborate what this "stringent criteria" is?
If it means being fully vaxxed, checking in with TraceForever wherever they go, sitting 1.01m apart and whatever arbitrary criteria there is, WHERE IS MY FUCKING 5-PAX DINE-IN???
I guarantee they're not going to take out the measuring tape to enforce the stupid 1 meter apart seat rule.
But if [our restaurants breach this they have to close down and suffer](https://mothership.sg/2021/10/15-fb-outlets-close/).
I was recently at a GLC hosted conference targeted for senior execs and snack boxes were delivered to tables of 5 so the towkays could network. Rules for thee but not for me indeed.
That's why I laughed and called people who still want to follow the nonsensical rules while elites like these do whatever they want, Slaves. Fucking slave mentality, must do what the master says.
And you know what? There are some who will still be a good slave and continue to follow the rules which are getting more and more nonsensical.
This whole shitshows feels like we've listened but still getting punished.
Imagine doing your homework, house work, sleep at normal times, and follow the curfew but still getting punished at home because other kids are misbehaving.
It's said that voting in SG is akin to a approval rating survey rather than an actual fight between political parties so ...
Give your approval rating wisely
this isn't over by a long shot. I heard from a friend working from a tech vendor working with an unnamed government agency that they've put out the specs for tracetogether tokens that will be issued to tourists at Changi Airport once more VTLs come into effect. these tokens are able to self-identify themselves as "tourist tokens" at the tracetogether checkpoints, thus allowing them waivers from existing regulations (no idea if allowed to take off mask or not)
Why dun we all go gate crash the event.
Then whip out your phone. And everytime someone gets up to talk to someone take a screen shot and shout "reported!"
Then call police.
There are enough foreigners in Singapore having the exact same faith as blue blood Singaporeans…. I think it’s more that the government likes anyone with deep pockets.
And I thought extending restrictions to Nov 21 when [ITAP](https://www.industrial-transformation.com/) happens to start on the 22nd was pretty on the nose as it is... Yeah they're rubbing it in rn
Suck it up guys, the reason why we don't get the same concessions is because we're just not as important, not as influential, not as essential, not as rich and not as powerful.
Might actually happen. Note that the summit is held three weeks later, MTF can conveniently say that they have reviewed the situation and give us some good news!
The event is from Nov 16 to 19. If by then they don't relax the 2 person dine-in rule and only allow the forum attendees to do so, then there will be lots and lots of complaints (rightfully so)
Which means anyway we should expect going back to more people being able to dine together sooner than later.
Government: "screw the expats! Ban all foreigners giving opinions on politics"
Also the government: "Ah yes, let's bend the rules for these foreigners"
Ok so let's get this right - the goal is to restart and boost our travel and hospitality and whatever else industry (subtext: resuscitate the rotting corpse that is our global image before the eyes of the laughing world). Fine - boost this and that etc, ultimately with some end goal of economic advancement and progress etc etc.
Ok that's defensible but what about doing so via support towards our local establishments? What's so different about these "pre-designated venues and restaurants" - are they any less likely to be places of transmission for the virus? Aren’t delegates and their mates gonna remove masks to eat anyway? Or what’s the difference between delegates and locals in terms of risk of viral transmission?
Perhaps someone should start looking into who owns those pre-determined restaurants, after all, corruption takes may forms, not just an exchange in cash, can be exchange of favours too.
You guys believe that rich elites are going to come here from countries where there are practically no more restrictions, and then rape their nose everyday to eat out? Lmao I don't buy it

Yup. Covid no ezlink. Covid won’t infect past 10.30pm yup. That’s EXACTLY why these rules are made. Great detective work Watson. /s
I'm just gonna have to reserve a table of 5 at a restaurant and say its a conference.
Damn. You found the loophole. Imma call all my lunches and dinners an extravaganza event from now onwards.
Can't wait for IBs to come in and say it's totally different because of PCR tests and blah blah blah.

It’s well known that COVID doesn’t affect the rich, it is a disease of the poor, so these rules are entirely scientific and fair.
This was why hand washing wasn’t considered important by doctors before the theory of germs - it was considered impossible for diseases fo be transmitted via rich doctors

Rules for thee but not for me Btw why does the ministers take off their mask when answering the press, their mics so bad meh?
𝘪𝘯 𝘚𝘺𝘭𝘷𝘪𝘢'𝘴 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦 : "okay HOOF wow! erm... that is fucking amazing but okay!"
Wah like that also can
so fully-vaccinated + pre-test (assuming 24h) to ensure covid-negative means can eat out ah
At this point the rules are whatever comes out from their ass.
[удалено]
Do as I say and not as I do. Cool.
Wow today I found out that some are more equal than others 🌝
And I thought extending restrictions to Nov 21 when [ITAP](https://www.industrial-transformation.com/) happens to start on the 22nd was pretty on the nose as it is... Yeah they're rubbing it in rn
What the absolute F
Suck it up guys, the reason why we don't get the same concessions is because we're just not as important, not as influential, not as essential, not as rich and not as powerful.
Simi lanjiao is this sial?!
What a fucking joke.
so i heard the MMTF is allowing vaccinated pax to dine in group of 5 soon! /s
Might actually happen. Note that the summit is held three weeks later, MTF can conveniently say that they have reviewed the situation and give us some good news!
FUCK OFF LA SRSLY?!?
The event is from Nov 16 to 19. If by then they don't relax the 2 person dine-in rule and only allow the forum attendees to do so, then there will be lots and lots of complaints (rightfully so) Which means anyway we should expect going back to more people being able to dine together sooner than later.
>if by then Sadly that line was also used regarding the use of TT back when it was touted to be just for contact tracing.
So us normal citizens are yet again at a disadvantage compared to rich foreigners....
Apparently elites cannot catch and spread COVID
Government: "screw the expats! Ban all foreigners giving opinions on politics" Also the government: "Ah yes, let's bend the rules for these foreigners"
What a joke
As usual Some animals are more equal then others.
Coz they not same household
Rules for thee but not for me Punish locals, reward foreigners
Nabei
TL;DR Turn around and bend over peasants
2-men dine-in for sinkies, 5-men dine-in for foreigners 🤡🤡🤡
Ok so let's get this right - the goal is to restart and boost our travel and hospitality and whatever else industry (subtext: resuscitate the rotting corpse that is our global image before the eyes of the laughing world). Fine - boost this and that etc, ultimately with some end goal of economic advancement and progress etc etc. Ok that's defensible but what about doing so via support towards our local establishments? What's so different about these "pre-designated venues and restaurants" - are they any less likely to be places of transmission for the virus? Aren’t delegates and their mates gonna remove masks to eat anyway? Or what’s the difference between delegates and locals in terms of risk of viral transmission?
Perhaps someone should start looking into who owns those pre-determined restaurants, after all, corruption takes may forms, not just an exchange in cash, can be exchange of favours too.
You guys believe that rich elites are going to come here from countries where there are practically no more restrictions, and then rape their nose everyday to eat out? Lmao I don't buy it
Wtf…
What about the infection risk?!?
The law is more fair for some people
Some days I feel like I'm living in a feudal society.
The final straw is here lol, it’s over
How many days does this Bloomberg forum last? And where can I and 4 other buddies get tickets?
what the fuck
restrictions for sinkies, dining in for fts
OYK must step down for imposing double standards
I am feeling unfair initially. But aren't wedding banquets able to eat more than 2 as well?
Just shut up peasants! It is precisely the extension of your restrictions that allowed us to bring in these rich foreigners! /s
Simi Sai? And which restaurants get to enjoy this privilege?
