Singapore has a history of not letting people get away with anti-social behaviour!    In this case Good For Them.

You DO NOT BREAK the law in Singapore.  It is a rule driven country and if you do not follow the law you do so at your own peril!!!

Yes, visiting and passing through as a child, and one holiday visit about 30 years ago, so no recent visit.

I have never been but I have watched several documentaries on Singapore and they all talked about how strict the laws were enforced.  Years ago they would use a stick whip to carry out punishments but this was years ago do not know if they still do this.  I also saw a travel log that said to obey all laws that punishments were harsh if you were arrested and to know the law to not get into trouble.

Earlier memos didn't seem to get through to some to the non-locals.  Was a drink worth the risk of loosing a job???

Authorities in Singapore have charged seven foreigners for disregarding the country's so-called "circuit breaker", a strict lockdown where all social gatherings are prohibited.

In mid-March, they were photographed having drinks together outside in an upmarket part of the city, popular with well-off expats.

After photos of the gathering went viral on Facebook there was considerable protest on social media with Singaporeans expressing anger that police seemed more lax in enforcing the lockdown for foreigners than for locals.

Authorities then tracked the seven people down and today they were charged in court for breaching Covid-19 regulations.

The accused can be jailed for up to six months as well as fined up to 10,000 Singapore dollars ($7,100, £5,700). 

Authorities have said they could revoke their work visas and ban them from working in the country.
