SINGAPORE – Bukit Batok MP Murali Pillai on Sunday (March 16) said that extra precautionary measures were in place during a club dinner for seniors held in his ward earlier this month, following criticism by Singapore Democratic Party (SDP) chief Chee Soon Juan.
Dr Chee, who got 38.8 per cent of the vote against Mr Murali in the 2016 Bukit Batok by-election, had earlier said on Facebook that participants of the dinner were not practising social distancing and that it could have put people at risk of contracting the coronavirus.
In a Facebook post, Mr Murali shared a list of precautionary measures the Bukit Batok Active Ageing Club said it had undertaken before the dinner held on March 7 to celebrate its eighth anniversary.
This list, compiled by club chairman Ong Chai and originally shared on the club’s Facebook page, included measures such as mandatory temperature checks, travel and health advisories and having organisers look out for and advise anyone who felt unwell to see a doctor and rest at home.
