Some patrons thought the new measures should have been announced earlier to give people more time to get fully vaccinated.
A man in his 40s who wanted to be known only as Mr Lau said:
"This is bad policy planning... The measures should have been announced long ago, three to four weeks before roll-out so people can get fully vaccinated with both jabs first."
He also did not see the necessity for more checks inside the mall, such as at the eateries.
"It is ridiculous to have your vaccination status checked multiple times within the same building and it will only cause bottlenecks," he said.
An unvaccinated patron who wanted to be known only as Ms Sue, 40, is making the most of the current grace period for malls before the rules kick in on Oct 20.
"I'm going to go out every day this week to meet people, and use up some vouchers," said Ms Sue, who was worried she would be stopped from entering malls on Wednesday.
She added that she will also be going to Spotlight at Plaza Singapura to "stock up on things I cannot get next week".
She does not plan to get vaccinated, saying: "I'm not going to get vaccinated because we have to continue getting booster shots.
When they force us to take booster shots every six months, you don't know what they are going to do next."

Stupid, this is purely to "incentivise" unvaccinated to get the jabs that's all. Hope situation improves and such stupid checks can be stopped

With the many (3,000+) infections for the past few days, these actions become necessary to curb the high rate of Covid-19 infections. I think it will take at least a few months before we can see the drop to two digits. Therefore this procedure will be enforced until the next year....

In retrospect, LHL must have regretted saying that Covid-19 is not dangerous....but it had caused every nation to be inconvenienced ......
