Police investigating woman who allegedly disregarded repeated advice to wear mask at MBS
SINGAPORE — A 53-year-old woman is under probe for allegedly being a public nuisance and breaching safe distancing regulations at Marina Bay Sands (MBS), the police said on Saturday (May 15).
The police received a call at 5.14pm on Friday for assistance at 1 Bayfront Avenue, where the woman had allegedly entered the building without wearing a face mask despite repeated advice from a safe distancing ambassador to do so.
“The woman is believed to be involved in other similar instances where she entered various buildings and establishments without a mask,” the police said.
Clips of what appeared to be the incident at MBS had been widely circulated on social media and messaging applications on Friday, along with other purported similar incidents involving the woman.
