SINGAPORE - The battle with boredom is already starting for Madam Chu Wai Ngoh, 75, just two days into Singapore's circuit breaker measures aimed at stemming the spread of the coronavirus.
"I know I am not supposed to come outside, but I don't like to stay at home alone too much. There's nothing to do at home and I feel very bored," said Madam Chu in Mandarin. She would spend one to two hours a day hanging out with other senior residents in the neighbourhood after she was done. But a new law passed on Tuesday prohibits social gatherings of any size, whether in private or in public spaces.Madam Yip Yeng Lam, 80, said apart from the almost daily gatherings with other seniors, she and Madam Chu, who are neighbours, would also visit each other's homes or chat in common spaces near their block in Tanglin Halt.
