Snippets of Singapore's Life
Sharing some sights of Singapore as the game feels very monotonous to me. To start off, this is a Peking opera I watch over the weekend. The stunt work of the Monkey King was impressive. http...

Yes @KLmaker we are still having hundreds of cases daily. They are due to proactive testing on the migrant workers living in dormitories. I do not know what is going there, I believe due to the proximity of the living quarters, these workers are continuing the spread of the viruses among themselves.
Our local community cases are low though, generally fewer than 10 cases per day as seen from the chart. Due to this unrelenting numbers, our Government are still concerned about the spread. Our Circuit Breaker has ended and 2 Jun 2020 we entered a phase 1 opening. Most of the lockdowns are still in place. For example, sport and gym and entertainment facilities would remain closed. Schools have opened. But they will be practicing partial opening with half the time devoted to home based learning via weekly rotation. Only the graduating cohort of the primary and secondary will be back to school full time.
Excerpt From Gov website
"Most manufacturing and production facilities, eg. semiconductors and medical technology; and Most businesses with employees working in offices and setting that do not require interactions with large groups of people, eg. finance & insurance, and IT & info services ". Allowed businesses
"Each household will be allowed to visit their parents or grandparents staying elsewhere, to allow families to spend time and provide support to one another. However, every household should limit such visits to only one per day, and to not more than two persons from the visiting household.
Dropping off children at parents’ and grandparents’ homes for childcare will also be allowed, subject to the same limit of two visitors from the same visiting household per day. "

Our Government just gave each of us a second reusable mask. This one is more breathable and is antibacterial.

A man has been arrested for stealing more than 200 masks from a vending machine by making use of Identity numbers he stole in his work in manpower services. We can use the vending machine to get the government masks by using our identity numbers. Thanks to the police cams, the man was found and apprehended.

In the Robertson Quay denizens case who disregarded the Covid-19 lockdown, six men and one lady were identified and would be charged. They are four Britons, two Americans and one Austrian. Netizens were having quiet discussion on what penalties they would receive. Most believe probably a slap on the wrist. Previously, we have had at least 29 work pass holders having their passes revoked for such breaches. Work pass holders are for lower income staff while higher income expats will be issued employment passes.

This lovely Chinese national 38 year old lady was fined 7000 SGD for providing home massage with a happy ending when visitations are not allowed during COVID-19
https://i.imgur.com/5Ss66t2.jpg
Another 55 year-old Chinese national was also guilty of providing massage with a happy ending at her salon but her sentencing was postponed as she cried in court even though she pleaded guilty.
Edit:. Lady just returned to court and started to cry again. The judge said "No need to cry to impress me here." She was fined SGD22,000. Probably she has other offences like operating a Salon without a license for massage and for not closing for Covid-19 lockdown. Also she is a Singaporean. But most believe she is a new citizen due to her obvious Chinese national name.

During the recent Hari Raya festival last weekend, the migrant workers here were served specialty food. Looks good.

Our new conscription soldiers would be reporting for proper training in camp. Previously, they need not report and was given home based training. It is the best time to be doing National Service. Reservist trainings were also put on hold. In Singapore, males above 18 years old would be liable for 2 years full time service. (2.5 years during my time for NCOs and Officers). They would also do a 10 year reservist cycle (13 years previously) where they return for training for between two to three weeks in some years. Some years the reservist might be shorter.

A pair of parents birds have built a nest and laid two eggs on my plants in the common corridor. I am not sure what bird it is. Might be a bulbul bird. This happened before a few years ago but the chicks were stolen then. I hate these humans who stole chicks from the wild.

A bulbul bird I took from the Internet. Hard to snap a picture of the parent bird as she would be scared and flew away

A treetop walk suspension bridge at MacRitchie Reservoir. Photo taken by a friend who went there. I have not been to the place though. As generally I think those with a car would be more likely to visit it. Easier to reach and also easier to get changed after the walk. The last time I went to that reservoir was like more than 2 decades ago.
@KLmaker, I am missing certain food during this lockdown. Because I only have certain food available near me. Other foods were further away and we are not allowed to dine in. I do not want to purposely go there in public transport and to pack it back.
