New rules forbidding unvaccinated people from dining in at hawker centres and coffee shops that kicked in yesterday have left some confused.
When The Straits Times visited several places, checks were conducted at some but not others.
At Hougang 203 Coffee Shop, stallholders were actively asking patrons to show their vaccination status.
Patrons such as Mr K. Tang, who works in logistics, was annoyed by the checks at each stall he went to.
"I have been asked three times in 10 minutes for my vaccination status. Why can't they just check once? It is so frustrating," he said.
Mr Goh Luo Wei, 30, who runs Cheng Kee Beef Kway Teow at the coffee shop, said he was informed by the management on Tuesday to start checking from yesterday.
