SINGAPORE – Agoda.com, Asia’s leading hotel booking site and part of Nasdaq-listed Priceline Group, today announced a fantastic range of hotel deals in time for the Great Singapore Sale.
Every year, Singapore throws the spotlight on one of its best features: shopping. This year, from May 25 to July 22, the city opens the floodgates to shoppers, with special promotions and big sales offered in every district – from the street stalls of Bugis to the malls of Marina Bay.
SINGAPORE - As many as 17 people were found together at one beach and 13 at another. They were among the 117 people fined for breaching safe management measures, such as limits on group sizes, at parks and beaches, since the start of phase three (heightened alert) on June 14.
The Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment (MSE) said on Friday (June 25) that the breaches also included not wearing masks when not doing strenuous exercises.
But last weekend, a group of 17 people were caught at Changi Beach Park, and another group of 13 people were caught at East Coast Park.
MSE said about 1,800 advisories have been issued for breaches.
On February 6, Singapore Tourism Board (STB)’s enforcement officers found that 11 individuals had gathered in a hotel room in Orchard Hotel Singapore for a birthday celebration.
This contravened the prevailing SMMs applicable during Phase 3, which stated that hotels must not allow gatherings of more than eight individuals in any guest room, except where the gathering consists wholly of individuals from the same household.
Following investigations, STB issued Orchard Hotel a fine of S$1,000 and ordered the hotel to suspend room bookings for 30 days from June 25 to July 24, 2021 (both dates inclusive) for failing to comply with SMMs in Phase 3.
The hotel will not be permitted to accept new room bookings for the duration of the suspension, but may continue to fulfil existing bookings made prior to the suspension.
