Daily Dose: Lights,, Camera , Action!
When you are famous, you will be under scrutiny. This week, there is not one but two separate incidents that had indicated that groups of 'celebrities' had flaunted the Covid19 rules on the social gathering. From Maxi Lim wedding where several guests were seen on video breaking the rules to a birthday bash that involved a handful of Mediacorp artistes and too many people.
In truth, they are not the only ones. There are probably much more similar cases out there in Phase 2. With Christmas eve happening tonight, it will not be surprised to see if there are groups of more than 5 either celebrating at home(excluding residents) or even outdoors. These are cases that you do not get to see or hear about because they do not leave tracks on social media.
Regardless, it is best to abide by the rules. Phase 3 is only a few days away. If you really need to have a bigger party, you can always wait till New Year Eve...
