SINGAPORE, Sept 7 — They have been selling Filipino food and sweets at Lucky Plaza mall for the past two decades.
Those whose NRIC number and FIN end in an odd digit may visit the two malls only on weekend days that fall on an odd date, for example Saturday, September 5. Those whose identification numbers end in an even digit may visit the two places on weekend days that fall on an even date, such as yesterday, September 6.
Garbo said: “Before the ‘odd-even’ restrictions, our business was already starting to pick up. Now, again downhill We have been losing a lot since Covid-19 started. If the Government continues to be like this, we will be forced to close.” Garbo said his eatery employs 10 Singaporeans and these workers will lose their jobs if he decides to put up the shutters.
Chia said that the restrictions should apply not only to Lucky Plaza and Peninsula Plaza, but to every shopping centre — a suggestion she made to the authorities as well. She has had to leave her shop several times a day to hand items to her customers who are not allowed access, then queue to re-enter the mall.
