SINGAPORE - More than 200 composition fines of $300 were issued to members of the public who did not comply with elevated safe distancing measures across Singapore on Sunday , as stiffer penalties for such breaches kicked in, said the Ministry of Environment and Water Resources.The number of fines is much fewer than the 3,000 warnings issued on Saturday, said Minister for the Environment and Water Resources Masagos Zulkifli in a Facebook post on Sunday night.
The minister had warned on Saturday that first-time offenders will be fined $300 and repeat offenders will face higher fines or prosecution in court for egregious cases, after enforcement officers reported that there were still too many people not taking the measures seriously. About 380 enforcement officers were deployed to ensure that people complied with such measures at or near markets and cooked food sections of hawker centres, the NEA added.
But enforcement operations should not continue at the same scale in the weeks ahead, he added, noting that agencies have to uphold essential services such as tackling dengue and ensuring water and food security.
