Co-chair of the Multi Ministry Task Force, Lawrence Wong, said in a press conference after PM Lee’s national address, that further restrictions could still be implemented after the ending of Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) on 13 June.

He said that the measures implemented so far have been working, but added that Singapore is not out of the woods yet.

He said:

“I go back to the metaphor that we had used last year, of a fire. We are taking steps to contain the fire and to minimise its spread. But the embers of the fire are still out there, and they can easily spark another major flare-up.”

Wong then added that we must be mentally prepared and we cannot rule out the possibility of further restrictions if they become necessary.

He then thanked everyone in Singapore for doing their part.

“All of you have demonstrated tremendous discipline, and social responsibility over the past two to three weeks. So thank you very much for this tremendous response.

We’ve done well so far. But this is not the time to relax or to let our guard down. In fact, it is absolutely critical that we continue to stay home and to work from home wherever possible, go out only for essential activities, and minimise our daily contacts. If you feel unwell, see a doctor immediately.”

A Singaporean Indian woman was having a morning walk with her baby at Bedok Reservoir.

An elderly man then approached her at around 8.30am and asked how come her baby son who was 7-months-old wasn’t wearing a mask.

She then told him that he was only 7-months-old and is therefore not required to wear a mask.

The man then scolded her:

“When you Indians come to Singapore, follow Singapore rules and not Indian ones”.

The man then took photos of the baby without the mother’s permission.

The woman said that the man continued scolding them, saying that her baby needs to wear a mask.

She added that Singapore is her home country and it saddens her to hear someone believe otherwise.

An uncle was seen riding on a kiddie ride at a shopping mall.

He could be seen sitting snugly inside the ride and watching the little monitor on the “car” and watching cartoons.

Perhaps he wanted to relive his childhood.

Many amusing comments were seen on the comments section during PM Lee’s live address to Singapore earlier today.

Most of the questions pertained to the possibility of a lockdown.

One user commented on PM Lee’s livestream, asking whether there will be a lockdown.

Because if not he will need to refund his toilet papers.

A reader shared that her elderly father went to Mount Elizabeth Hospital for his medical appointment.

After which he bought a cup of hot tea from Killiney and found the taste of the tea to be “out of the ordinary”.

The tea had a faint burned rubber taste and smell.

The elderly man then removed his cup lid and was shocked to find a rubberband inside the drink.

He also said that the person who brewed his tea didn’t put on his gloves while preparing the drink.
