New week, new COVID-19 regulations, new social gatherings in defiance of COVID-19 regulations.
It wasn’t long ago that the maximum permitted size of gatherings was reduced from five to two. Which meant they weren’t gatherings anymore. They were dates.
So what do people do? Hold 30-people gatherings, of course.
70 People Investigated for Gatherings in Potential Breach of COVID-19 Restrictions
A total of 70 people are under investigation for potential breaches of COVID-19 restrictions, according to Channel NewsAsia.
Though I’m not sure how much more investigation you need, when you’ve literally seen clearly-more-than-two-people gathering in a single physical space.
On 14 May, the police raided a commercial unit along Jalan Bukit Merah to find a gathering of 26 people, aged between 24 and 56, that involved drinking, singing, and extensive intermingling.
On 7 May, the police conducted two more raids. The first was on a gathering along Greenwood Avenue in Bukit Timah, where a residential unit hosted a gathering of 29 people, aged 15 to 41.
This was back in the good old times of five-person gatherings.
Two were arrested on the spot: one who hurled expletives to verbally abuse police officers, and another found in possession of what seemed to be controlled drugs.
Drugs…in a gathering…involving 15-year-olds? They are really having way more fun than they are morally allowed to, huh.
The other raid was conducted entirely by accident: the police were in the process of resolving a case of dispute when a commotion was heard from a nearby industrial unit along Kaki Bukit Road.
It turned out a gathering was taking place, too, with fifteen people drinking and singing. There will probably be another dispute there soon, when the gatherers find out what gave them away.
Since all three events involved the supply of public entertainment and liquor without a license, those responsible could be fined up to S$20,000.
They were also obviously very compliant with safe distancing laws in times of COVID-19. If found guilty, they may be imprisoned for up to six months and fined up to S$10,000.
The vulgarity-loving man in Bukit Timah may be guilty of using abusive language towards a public servant, which carries a jail term of up to 12 months and a fine.
As for the dude who is potentially distributing drugs… let’s just say he has a lot of trouble on his hands.
