LAST Wednesday, I was at Ting and Ting Foodcourt at Block 494,
Jurong West, around 7pm, and saw three customers smoking at a table
in the "no smoking" area there. The coffee shop owner did not do
anything to stop them.
I hope the relevant authorities will step up their spot checks
to ensure coffee shop owners enforce the "no smoking" rule.
Also, it should be made compulsory for coffee shops to display
prominently the relevant hotline number for members of the public
to report instances of non-conformity to this rule. In this way,
the authorities will be able to take immediate action against
coffee shop owners who do not enforce the rule.
