Despite the crackdown on KTVs and the aggressive scrutiny of the nightlife in Singapore following the emergence of new clusters, it seems the lessons have not been learnt.

A quick look at local public chat groups designated for alcohol and nightlife activities have yielded some rather brave women still touting for customers.

One posted a cryptic message, asking if anyone was “looking for girls? Text me for price range and service.”

Another asked if “any1 wanna drink pm mee.”

One more went straight to the point, looking for “any Chinese average looking bro? SG gal looking for drinking kaki = kaki with edge kink n willing to pay me some tip today, PM if keen.”

Side note: Edging is a sexual practice where persons control their *rgasms for an extended period of time without climaxing.

A netizen sends in a screenshot of a hostess who is still touting customers to come for a drink.

Here is his story

I tell you all these people really knn lao cb, now the situation is already so bad the hostesses at so many places still don’t learn their lesson and still finding customers to earn their stupid ladies drink or booking commission.

This Macpherson mall is like macham a 2nd Peace Centre, inside so many bars. Alot of people don’t know, got this kind of girls

• Singapore Girl
• Vietnam Girls
• Thai Girl
• China Girl

Many of them are here on student permits but working secretly in the bar or with them on some work permit working at some factories and secretly earning part-time at night.

Today after the Phase 2 news comes out the hostesses come jio me again to go drink. They got so desperate for money until they need to sabotage the rest of Singapore or not.

I wish the authorities can go down and catch them. I reported this to the One Service app, but no response.

The girls working here say they working as “waitress” ya right lan jiao. The waitress sit down at the table cheers with the customers and ask you to buy them drinks or tip them one meh. What kind of waitress is this? hostesses say hostesses lah.

Hello, you all say nice is “waitress” say not nice is “hostesses” say very not nice is “same KTV chicken”.

Of the 182 cases today, 81 are linked to previous cases and have already been placed on quarantine. 75 are linked to previous cases and were detected through surveillance. 26 are currently unlinked.

Amongst the cases are 2 seniors above 70 years who are unvaccinated and are at risk of serious illness.

In addition, there are 13 imported cases, who have already been placed on Stay-Home Notice (SHN) or isolated upon arrival in Singapore. 6 were detected upon arrival in Singapore, while 7 developed the illness during SHN or isolation. In total, there are 195 new cases of COVID-19 infection in Singapore today.

MOH will release more details tonight.

The Ministry of Health (MOH) said in a press release earlier today that SafeEntry will soon be made mandatory at all wet markets and hawker centres in Singapore.

This is part of the government’s efforts to improve contact tracing.

MOH said that wet markets and hawker centres are places where many seniors tend to gather and frequently visited by the community.

As such, the potential for Covid-19 transmission are higher due to the close proximity between the people.

Interim fencing and mandatory SafeEntry check-in at markets with detected Covid-19 cases will be set up.

MOH said:

“We encourage all members of public to comply with SE check-in requirements and to carry their TT token or keep their TT app active to facilitate contact tracing, and help protect themselves and their loved ones.”

A woman posted on Facebook trying to get people to support an elderly man who is pedalling as a cobbler outside Holland Village MRT. The man is in his 70s and yet he is still trying very hard to work daily to support his wife and sick son.

Here is the post:

I am trying my luck in putting up this post.

I read about this uncle in his 70s.. peddling as a cobbler outside Holland V MRT / outside Crystal Jade.

He’s in his 70s and needs to support his wife and son (seems like depression disorder). It’s so cheap to simply get a new pair of shoes these days. Few visit these cobblers whom probably our grandparents used to. It’s a dying trade. So who’s gonna help these older generations who might only know this only trade all their lives?

I really wanna support him and hence went to get my daughter’s heels mended. While mending her shoes I see uncles hands shaky while holding on to the sharp knives. I feel sad seeing this.

I asked if his business improved after the news. He says 一点啦 with exasperation..I walked away, turn back and see uncle staring into space again.

Pls help uncle if u can.. it may just mean 1 less meal in a restaurant for many of us
