I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. The PAP’s incompetence and one-step-behind-the-curve reaction in the on-going pandemic is making life a misery for Singaporeans.
In the latest round of surge in infections, how on earth did KTVs – with all their attendant illicit services – mask themselves as legitimate F&B outlets? And apparently, it’s not just one or two rogue outlets but scores of them.
And when the no. of infections explode, the government reacts by placing onerous and, frankly, quite silly restrictions on legitimate eateries and restaurants.
The latest restrictions defy common sense. You can have up to 5 diners but… Parents can dine in with their children but… Diners must be fully vaccinated but…Seriously?
Then they relax rules allowing up to 5 diners, then the no. of cases go up, then they say that they are unlike to revert to more stringent rules, then one week later, they do a U-turn and tighten the rules again. How do you run a business when the rules keep changing?
This is what happens when you have generals and scholars sitting in their air-conditioned offices and putting pen to paper with nary any experience on the ground, making rules on the fly.
At one point, they decreed that mum and dad with infant cannot sit together at one table because the limit is two and two only. We’ve had to seat such “groups” of three separately where mum and baby sat at one end of the café and dad at the other. At the end, of the meal they get up and go home together.
Make rules that make sense, is all people ask.
In the meantime, legitimate F&B outlets are reeling, real businesses are destroyed, real jobs are lost and real Singaporeans are hurting.
My friends, don’t let the silliness of our young ministers deter you from supporting our local restaurants. Now more than ever, they need your support. Follow the rules (bizarre as they are), but go out and have a meal.
Have a good week ahead, everyone.
