Singapore bans Britons for lockdown bar crawl

A group of British men living in Singapore have been banned from working there again after breaking lockdown to go on a “bar crawl”.

The men were also fined around S$9,000 each ($6,500; £5,200).

They were charged after a picture of people drinking during the country’s “lockdown” – which banned social gatherings – went viral last month.

A separate group, an American couple and an Austrian, were also punished for drinking on the same day.

The Singapore Ministry of Manpower (MoM) said between 1 May and 25 June, 140 people had their permission to work in Singapore revoked for breaking Covid-19 measures.
