You are right.  Everywhere seems less people today  such that I decided to  spend my time in the afternoon taking busses around just to enjoy the routes.

Think I spent 3 hours today just taking different busses back and forth. So few people on busses! Nice!

Lovely afternoon. Glad I did all my food indulgence  in JB last week and now I have a quiet SG to myself during Xmas...😁

Ya, many people stay home to buy last minute shopping before 9% GST, so not free to go out.

Go to shopping centres ….. all doing last minute shopping …Q’s are long ……

but also nowadays can see even some Hawker centres the stall holders also go “makan  angin” overseas …..with temporary closed signs 

Many are still overseas clearing forced to take leaves too

‘It’s not as good as last year’: No Christmas cheer for some retailers along Orchard Road

Some retailers say crowds have thinned with many locals going overseas for a year-end holiday, while others also point to concerns about inflation and the lure of a weak Malaysian ringgit.
