A man was spotted not wearing a mask in the MRT and he was happily chatting away without realising that he was getting filmed.
Just a week ago, the Ministry of Health (MOH) announced the relaxation of mask-wearing in outdoor settings.
From 29 March 2022, mask-wearing will only be required for indoor settings for persons who are 6 years old and above, outside of their homes.
Mask-wearing will be optional in outdoor settings. However, people are encouraged to continue to wear their masks, especially in crowded areas.
Taking the train still requires the wearing of a face mask.
