Two drink stalls which were located at 632 Bukit Batok Central and 31 Kelantan Lane respectively were fined and ordered to close after selling beer at 10.30pm.
They were both fined $1,000 each and ordered to close for 10 days in defiance of the COVID-19 Act. Currently during this Phase 3 period, the serving and consumption of alcohol in all food and beverage establishments after 10.30pm are “strictly prohibited” under the new law.
Both stalls were inspected after SFA acted on a tip-off and the customers were caught consuming alcohol at the premises after 10.30pm.
Under the COVID-19 (Temporary Measures) Act, first-time offenders will face a fine of up to S$10,000, imprisonment of up to six months, or both. Subsequent offences may face a fine of up to S$20,000, imprisonment of up to twelve months, or both.
