On a normal day, kissing your girlfriend in public is not an offence.

Maybe people around you would feel uncomfortable with your PDA, but the authorities won’t do anything; in fact, they’d be glad that you might be contributing to fight the low fertility rate in Singapore.

But nowadays, the world is not normal, and a couple learned that with $600.

Just nice lah Ah Gong just gave $600 to each person.

Couple Caught Kissing in Public & Each Were Fined $300 After A Person Sabo Many Times

These images went viral yesterday.

I’m sorry but I just have to do this meme:

A normal couple whom you’d not bat an eye to before the Circuit Breaker measures kicked in was just having some private moments at a public bench at Upper Boon Keng yesterday (14 April 2020) morning.

For a start, with us having to live like North Koreans now, gathering in public, even if you’re a #lonelyforever and are gathering with yourself, is an offence, because your nose might pass the virus to your mouth.

This couple did more than just gathering in public: they even shared drinks.

Or to be more specific, alcohol.

So the police were at the right place at the—wait, no.

Complaint from the Public

Apparently, they were in full view of so many people that one decided to take action.

Instead of calling the police once, a person called the men and women in blue a few times.

Maybe he or she was afraid that the couple would have been gone by the time the police came.

But the cops, who had signed on to do this…

…came in time to catch a couple kissing each other.

They said, “On Apr 14 at 8.38am, the police received multiple calls from a member of the public who informed that two persons were sitting on a bench that had been cordoned off at Block 8A Upper Boon Keng Road, as part of elevated safe distancing measures.

“When the police officers arrived, they found a 20-year-old man and a 19-year-old woman sitting on the bench within the cordoned area.

“They were each issued a composition fine of $300 for breaching safe distancing measures under the Covid-19 (Temporary Measures) Act 2020.

“They were advised to adhere to the measures, and left the area thereafter.

Yeah, so you folks who kept on complaining that it’s the seniors who are breaking the Circuit Breaker rules, you can now eat your words.

But now, let’s go back to the pressing question:

Can we really not meet our girlfriend or boyfriend at all? What if I go to his or her house?

Let’s go to the MOH website to verify.

In its FAQs, there’s one question that fits into the description:

Am I allowed to visit my boyfriend/ girlfriend or fiancé/fiancée or spouse or sibling living in a different house? 

The short answer: No.

The long answer: Please do not do so during this period when circuit breaker measures are in place. The intention of these measures is to significantly reduce movements and social interactions to lower the risk of transmission across different households. You could consider using different digital means (e.g. video calls, phone calls, etc.) to keep in contact during this time.
