Statement By SRA In Response to PM Lee’s Announcement on Singapore’s Decisive Action to Living with the Virus

SRA is glad to note that current SMMs will be relaxed further WEF 29 Mar 2022. With increased dining capacity (from 5 to 10) and 75% employees permitted to return to workplaces, we can expect a boost in shopper traffic and increased sales conversion opportunities. And with atriums open (since 15 Mar) for events & promotional activities, we hope to see shoppers come out of their homes to enjoy the festivities in malls & retail outlets. We welcome further easing of cross borders restriction – removal of on-arrival tests and no quarantine for fully vaccinated travellers from any country or region arriving in Singapore as this will certainly help to attract more tourists , and generate the much needed tourist spending for retailers. Our retailers are ready and in full swing to serve!
SRA would like to take this opportunity to thank the Government’s measured & responsible approach in managing the COVID-19 crisis thus far to make today’s decision to live with the virus possible, going forward.
SRA would also like to express our grateful thanks to all our healthcare & frontline workers (retail included) for their selfless contribution & sacrifice to help the nation overcome and also stay in business! We are indeed indebted!
