Meet-the-People sessions (MPS) will be allowed to resume from Monday (Aug 10) with precautionary measures such as capping overall crowd size to 50 or less, the National Environment Agency (NEA) has said.
The move is aimed at facilitating interaction between MPs and their constituents now that the country is in phase two of its reopening, NEA said.
The allowed crowd size will depend on the size of each MPS venue, it added. Crowd size comprises all persons in the MPS venue, including MPs, activists and residents, as well as those in the waiting area and queue.
People’s Action Party (PAP) MPs told The Straits Times they have been informed of this change, and that they will be implementing additional safety measures for their MPS from this week.
Ms Foo Mee Har (West Coast GRC) said these measures include using nearby void deck areas for queue management, and to limit the number of people inside her branch to 30, including the MP and volunteers.
“For MPS location at Block 32 Teban Gardens, where the space is available, we will be conducting ‘outdoor’ MPS, a practice we started pre-circuit breaker in March this year,” she said.
