According to an Instagram post by Finance Minister Lawrence Wong Singapore is expected to further open up and allow dining of up to 5 pax from July 12.
In his post he highlighted that the Multi-Ministry Taskforce will confirm and release the details soon.
Here is his Instagram post:
“Shared in Parliament that we expect to open up further from 12 July to allow larger groups of five people to dine together. The Multi-Ministry Taskforce will confirm and provide more details soon.
In light of this, the enhanced Jobs Support Scheme (JSS) will continue at the present 50%/30% funding levels until 11 July. Thereafter it will be tapered to 10% for two weeks until 25 July.
Besides the JSS, we have rolled out many other measures to help our workers and businesses. I hope these measures will provide some help during these challenging times.”
In Parliament (July 5), The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has proposed heftier penalties for evading Police roadblocks.
In the proposal, the MHA stated that the jail term will increase from a maximum of 12months to 7 years and the maximum fine amount will be increased from SGD5,000 to SGD10,000.
The jail term has been increased 7 fold and the fine amount doubled.
The new proposed punishment structure for those who evade the roadblock is taken reference from those of voluntarily causing harm to public servants. This is because a car chase typically increases the risk of harming a police officer in duty and also the lives of the public.
What constitutes evading road block?
In the proposal, MHA has further included a few actions that will constitute an “evading roadblock” such as escaping by going through the roadblock without stopping, making a U-turn or even leaving the vehicle.
