The day before, we wrote about a hotpot restaurant which not only allowed more than 20 people to dine-in but actively tried to block officers from checking the premises.
They were fined S$2,000 and had their operations suspended for 10 days.
You would’ve thought that restaurants, after hearing about this, would be more careful in following the regulations to the letter.
Unfortunately, just as there are responsible and sensible F&B businesses, there are bad apples too, like the one we’re going to talk about.
Another Restaurant Ordered to Close After Allowing More Than 5 People in a Table
Infinite Studios is located just off the AYE on the other edge of One-North. In other words, it’s as “ulu” as you can get.
But that didn’t stop the authorities from catching The Idle restaurant, located at Infinite Studios, breach safety management measures.
The restaurant had allowed more than 5 people to sit close together in a group and allow them to drink alcohol even after 10.30pm.
How They Got Caught
According to the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) which caught the restaurant, they received a tipoff regarding the restaurant’s breaches.
Their officers who were sent there to inspect the premises found that they have breached the safe management measures repeatedly, despite being reminded to follow the rules.
The Idle restaurant has been ordered to shut their doors for 10 days, with their suspension starting from Wednesday, 19 Aug 2020.
Unlike the previous restaurant which broke Covid-19 safety management measures, however, it seems like The Idle managed to get off without a fine, although not being allowed to operate for 10 days seems like it’s painful enough on their wallets.
Maybe because they didn’t try to block officers’ entry into the restaurant.
Moral of the story? It doesn’t matter how ulu an area you are located in because the authorities can still get to you.
Meanwhile, Singapore is on a roll right now, having reported less than a hundred new cases over the past few days.
On 17 Aug 2020, Singapore reported 91 new Covid-19 cases with zero cases in the community.
