Remember, they flip-flop on the average of once every 24~36 hours. They still have 5 more days so don't make any plans where you cannot get your deposit back, if any.

Haha...agree...so we would better not be too happy yet.

The 10 people one is the most important item. now can finally go to restaurants with extended family etc.

the outside non-mask wearing was practically in place already as long as you walk fast enough and don't hang around.

And I'm pretty sure they will not be turning back on this, as they haven't before either.

Not sure what SMS flip-floping is referring to, quite difficult to find a reasonable justification of that statement. The rules here have been actually really consistent, to the level of being annoyingly strict and waiting much longer than any other countries (expect China) before relaxing anything.

You've been under a rock for the last 24 months, izzit?

LOL! Unfortunately you’re exactly right, and frankly I don’t think the measures announced are very drastic at all… the only ones that really affect the average citizen are the mask wearing restrictions.

The 10 person rule doesn’t really benefit me (my family here is pretty small) but it will be nice to finally go out and have meals with colleagues f2f instead of having to break into smaller groups.

Not sure if you’re a believer in the LHL shirt theory - if you are, perhaps you’ll have picked up on the fact that he was wearing blue so maybe he’s not too confident in the decision to loosen restrictions.

Especially the flip flopping between 2/5/8 pax.

How long do you think before the next flip-flop. Not even the 29th yet.

No. So would you be able to give an examples of these regular flip flop decisions in matter of hours?

Kiasuism trumps common sense every time if you are in Singapore.

Oh what a great example. Did it happen with hours back and forth? And would you care to share what would have been the right choice, a 5 year plan not adjusting based on changing situation over time?

My guess is not going to change the rules back any more but slowly opening as they have been.

You seem to guess something else.

Care to bet on it?

I don't have to justify anything. My statement of flip-flopping is more than proven, the amount of time is immaterial once made public and then retracted. However your statements now sound much like a drowning man trying to find a straw. I also didn't specify exactly what was flip-flopped. You went off halfcocked, nothing more. Common happenstance when looking to pick an argument. Already examples have been produced, therefore your contention is only that. Something that holds no proof or has any weight.
