我成日提新加坡唔係我崇拜坡狗,
我只係想指出香港政府由此至終都係呃飯食,
包藏禍心,扮做嘢
市民有功佢就搶,唔對路就推落市民唔自律度
外遊撚留學生度度都係咁翻嚟,無得避免
係你垃圾做樣隔離政策,令事情惡化

No Choice
Lee said that upon landing in Singapore on Thursday evening, passengers had to fill up forms acknowledging they’ll abide by quarantine rules. The form listed the hotels they will be put up in, but they didn’t get to choose, she said.
“It’s really good to be placed in a hotel as I had a lot of work to do,” Lee said. “But I also didn’t expect the government to place us in a nice hotel.”
Checking in took all of five minutes. The travelers took their luggage from a coach chartered to transport them, queued up a meter apart as per social distancing guidelines, and received room key cards. They were given welcome snacks -- packets of biscuits -- before they were shown to their rooms.
“When they serve the food, the hotel staff will place it outside and ring the door bell,” Lee said. “When I opened the door, they’re not there. I guess they’re not supposed to come into contact with you.”
Family members are allowed to leave things needed by the returnees at the concierge. For Lee, her parents brought her a yoga mat and some snacks.
Constant Monitoring
Those quarantined are not allowed to leave their rooms during the entire 14-day period and can’t use hotel facilities such as the gymnasium or swimming pool, Chin said.
Individuals under quarantine or issued stay-home notices in Singapore are monitored by video calls at least three times a day and officials conduct spot checks at their residences. For non-compliance, individuals face a maximum penalty of S$10,000 fine and six months jail under the Infectious Diseases Act. A Singapore citizen had his passport canceled when he was found to have breached the requirements after returning from overseas.
Chin said the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority sends him text messages multiple times a day that “require you to to click on a link and send your current location.”
While Lee would have preferred to be at home, she was concerned about carrying the virus and passing it to her family members. She’s been “impressed” by how the Singapore government treats its students returning from overseas, adding that friends from Hong Kong and China have had a tough time getting flights or must fork out extra fees to change flight timings.
“My friends said their governments are not really trying very hard to get them back home, but ours did and they put us up in hotels,” she said.
Lee’s biggest concern now: Motivating herself to be productive while staying in a five-star hotel because she has to complete “two essays due by the end of the month.”
