Behind every facade and every mask is a person.
And even behind no surgical mask, there is a person and their family as well.
The father of the 53-year-old lady who was caught arguing with a safe distancing ambassador (SDA) spoke to Shin Min Daily News about his daughter.
According to the Chinese paper, the elderly man claimed that his daughter was initially a very kind-hearted person, sending him money when she worked overseas and sponsoring orphans.
The man noted that his daughter’s temperament had changed significantly after returning to Singapore, which was more than 10 years ago.
He suspected that his daughter had been deceived overseas and was emotionally scarred from the experience.
Currently, the two do not meet often and last saw each other on Chinese New Year. The elderly man has seen the news and is worried about her.
Woman Refused To Wear Mask At MBS; Police Investigating
Last Saturday (15 May), a 53-year-old woman was spotted maskless at Marina Bay Sands (MBS).
Despite multiple requests by a very patient SDA, she still refused to wear her mask… which she held tightly, albeit folded, in her hands as seen in the viral video captured by an eye-witness.
The woman is questioning the authority of the SDA and who she represents.
Although the SDA calmly replied that she works for MBS, she refused to believe her and kept asking for a “badge”.
“If you have no badge, why are you asking me to do something? Who are you representing?”
A Repeat Offender
From two other videos that went viral alongside the one from MBS, the same woman can be seen shopping for groceries at Vivocity as well as trying to enter Clarke Quay Central while being maskless.
In the latter, the same woman can be heard (and seen) arguing with the staff there who are just doing their jobs to make sure everyone adheres to the COVID-19 measures set by the government.
Funnily enough, she used the same technique and questioned the authority of the staff of the mall.
“Do you represent Central Mall? Show me the card that says that you represent Central Mall.”
Based on the COVID-19 Regulations imposed by the government, people that are found not wearing a mask (at all or properly) outside their place of residence can be charged.
If convicted, they can be jailed for up to six months, or get a hefty S$10,000 fine, or both.
In this woman’s case, she can also be charged for causing a public nuisance, which if found guilty, brings a jail sentence of up to three months, a S$2,000 fine, or both.
And in case you think, “alamak masks only mah, don’t need so serious lah,” you should watch this video to the end and see how a maskless fellow could create an outbreak easily:
