S’porean Twitter User Warns Other People of Safe Distancing Ambassador Disguised as Spying Cat

To ensure compliance with safe distancing measures, the Singapore Government needs all the help it can get.

Young, elderly, human, feline… 

Wait, what? Cat got your tongue?

S’porean Twitter User Warns Other People of Safe Distancing Ambassador Disguised as Spying Cat

Just recently, a cat was reported by Mothership to be the newest member of the Social Distancing Ambassador (SDA) brigade, tasked with the sacred duty to check on HDB residents’ compliance with safe distancing guidelines.

On 12 May, Twitter user Yasmin Yusof posted a photo of her cat, jokingly alerting her “dear Muslim brothers and sisters who still want to try their luck and go visiting” that “the SDAs are getting creative with their disguises”.

In the photo, the SDA is seen clad in white, surreptitiously standing atop a shoe cabinet to peek into an HDB flat, presumably Yusof’s own.

It held an expression of greater concentration than when I write Goody Feed articles, and looked intently into the flat, lest anyone break the sacred rule of five (or, as of 16 May, two).

You can read the full Tweet below:

However, rumours that house checks would be conducted on Hari Raya gatherings are clarified as false by the relevant authorities, according to Mothership.

Looks like this cat didn’t get the memo.

Photos spreading online of government officers were of them performing altogether different duties, such as dengue engagement by the National Environmental Agency (NEA).

Another Cat, However, is on the Receiving End…

Facebook user Fuzz Lee, however, posted a rather different portrait of their cat, as reported by Mothership.

In the photo, the cat is splendidly adorned in a mint baju Melayu and looking stately with its songkok. Adorable, too, with its protruding cat ears.

Yet, the poor cat was staring despondently out of the gate into the bright, wide world beyond.

Apparently, it was the sixth member to a family of five people, and had to be painfully left behind to appease the NEA as a sacrifice while the rest of the family embarked on their jalan raya devoid of the festive joys, thinking only of the cat they had left behind.

How sad. The kitten can come visit me.

(We feel the need to clarify the above photo is just for effect. Do note that house pets are exempt from the COVID-19 regulations after they surrounded the Istana in a revolution and forced the Prime Minister into personally guaranteeing their freedom.)

And by the way, if you love cats more than you love food, you might have a disease, and we’re not even kidding. Watch this video to the end and you’d understand:
