LATEST COVID MEASURES - WHOSE FAULT??
1. KTVs abusing pivot to F&B
Government tried to help everyone under the ACRA classification of Nightclubs ,Bars, KTVs to pivot.
These outlets were all forced to close since April 2020.
As long as you fall under this classification, you could pivot and build a kitchen (even apply for grant if they qualify) and allowed to continue operations. It’s a streamlined way of offering help, so people can get help fast.
Some people abused it, pretended to serve food, but operated vice instead.
Police try to close them, but it’s hard when people are determined to play cat and mouse.
The vast majority of law abiding operators I am sure are grateful for the help.
Now everyone has to close.
2. Vietnamese coming in on sponsored social social visit pass.
Since April 2020 many couples have been separated by border closures.
It’s already hard enough for legally married couples.
It’s even harder for people in long term serious relationships who are not married.
The Government exercised compassion and allowed Singaporeans to sponsor their unmarried partners in.
Some people abused it, but how to check?
How do you force people to prove that their relationship is bona fide?
We give the benefit of the doubt. But some abuse it.
Now it’s all cancelled.
MORAL OF STORY : Government tries to help. People abuse it. This is not a loophole.
Stop blaming the Government.
Stop blaming foreigners.
Blame the people who abuse privileges and aid, who cause problems for all of us.
This is a pandemic, situation is in flux worldwide.
Stop complaining.
Most of us are trying our best.
Thank you.
