Under the stricter rules, home-based food businesses were not allowed to operate, sparking concern among some home bakers who rely on such businesses for income, as well as those who had received an increase in orders ahead of Hari Raya celebrations later this month.
Describing their actions as “irresponsible”, Mr Masagos said the operators of such businesses risked “being infected or becoming a cluster of COVID-19 cases” if they continued business as usual, especially with increasing orders leading up to Hari Raya. President Halimah Yacob also said on May 1 that she was looking forward to buying cookies from home-based businesses once restrictions ease."HBB are predominantly run by women, usually with caregiving responsibilities and is an important source of income for them," Mdm Halimah wrote on Facebook.
She added:"I look forward to your cookies. But please remember to comply with the circuit breaker rules which is meant to keep everyone safe from COVID-19."
