The market has been fenced up and patrons have to queue and scan to go in. So residents in the area were sick of queueing up and they choose to purchase their groceries from the shophouse instead.
They can control the people “going into the cage” but they cannot stop people from running free in other areas.
That district itself is a market district many of the shophouses supplies vegetable and resident are often seen buying goods without scanning their TraceTogether, entry to shop houses seem out of control with the large amounts of people.
Here is what the netizen said:
Why in the Chong Pang wet market have to fence up and control the people to enter but the shophouse no need. The market is like a dead town. People rather buying at the shophouse as they no need to queue and scan to go. The ambassador in the wet market is just extra. Really don’t understand why?
