It’s been two weeks since Singapore went into circuit breaker mode but it appears that not everyone has gotten the memo on the ramped-up safe distancing measures.

An elderly woman was spotted tucking into a takeaway bowl of kway chap at a cordoned-off table at Teban Gardens Food Centre on April 18.

In a video clip circulating on Facebook on Sunday (April 19), she was seen refusing to budge from her seat as a pair of enforcement officers spoke with her.

They approached the auntie to explain to her that members of the public are not allowed to dine outside during this period in order to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

“If you continue to do this, we’d have to fine you,” one of the officers told her.

This, however, appeared to agitate the women, who banged on the table and said: “It doesn’t matter, I’m not scared,” in Hokkien.

“If I had the virus, I would’ve died by now,” she added.

Another officer tried to give the woman a chance and told her that she’d get fined if she didn’t comply with the rules.
